where are the dents?? if they can be tapped out so they are nearly perfect and then a light bog that should be fine. Dont bog anything more then 5mm deep i say.

Like Brad says,
thick bog will either crack or break off.
(doesn't do much for weight either)

If you have dents 5cm (50mm) deep, I doubt it looks much like a Mini any more :lol: but even professionals need a skim of bog to get a good surface. I would put the limit for a dent at less than 1cm. Anything deeper than that should be banged out. Things like boots and bonnets, I'd just get a newer one.

Well they would because they have forgotten what a planishing hammer and dolly is. Before bog we had lead and that was heavy. It was expensive so the dents got fixed properly.
