Aren't you just as likely to put a dent either side of the one you're trying to fix? :mad:

these things are crap, u might aswell try pulling on the dent with a punger from the toilet shop :mad:

U'd be better off buying the kit halfrauds do with the glue stick now that works winkeye

I ended up going to Halfords this weekend and buying their 'dent iimprover' - and it works. Well, it improves the dents, and I guess with some more persuasion they'd go completely. I was just being a bit too careful I think. Next weekend I'll have another go... 8)

trust me guys, if you want rid of your small dings get a company like dent devils or dent tech on the job,these guys are good at their jobs and if a dent will come out they will get it out and they dont charge the earth either.there is a lot more to removing dents than just "popping" them out.in my opinion the halfords kit would be the better choice of the two if you really wanted to try it yourself

Not worth the money. , July 4, 2006
Reviewer: Christopher (Brooklyn, NY USA) - See all my reviews
We live in a city and we got a minor ding on the side of the car. We bought this kit a few years ago somewhere other than Amazon (think a auto store). Anyway we did what it said and did it several times. It did take some of the ding out but not all of it. We barely got the glue off from it. A few years later we got hit by a suv when we were getting the car fixed we had the guy remove the ding and now it looks perfect. Sadly this thing was not worth the money or effort we put into it. I also watched Fox 5 and they tested the item it didn't work for them either. I know it will cost more but take it to a auto shop and get the ding removed there. Don't buy this product it is worthless.
i was thinking of buying ding king and then read this on amozon usa :twisted:
