Just wondering if anyone has tried this to remove small dings?

My dings are nowhere near that size though.

Im abit skeptic but you never know.

he's lucky it was a nice clean dent.... it'd work for some dents, but not others - basically just the ones where there's been a bit of a push but no creasing

As Simon says it will work on smooth dents where the panel has been slightly stretched, you use a similar method to finish repairs when you straighten a dent out and the pasnel has been stretched, use a oxy or propane torch and heat the the panel and just wipe it with a wet sponge or rag or if it is stretched a lot you might have to give it a bit of work with a shrinking hammer before applying the water rag

Mine aren't huge dents, about 1/2-1 inch in diameter, and theres no creases. Will it ruin the paint in any way?
