Dent on wing, how to get it out?

[Misc]

Ok, Alfa's are made from cheese, i've got 4 dents on the top of the front wing where i've leaned on it whilst working under the bonnet. I could cause a dent from my little finger, seriously.

There's enough space so i can feel under the dents but can't push them out. They're very shallow so what's the best way to remove?

And i'm not paying someone.

Air duster & heat gun? Loads of vids on youtube.

Plunger?
Seem to recall reading somewhere that works quite well.

Half a tennis ball, if you cant find a plunger.

Just dent all the rest so it matches.

HTH.

Ok thanks everyone. I'll try a plunger although i may try the compressed air method. Tennis ball seems like it would be strong enough? Will Youtube it.

I doubt either the plunger or the tennis ball would work. Has anyone here actual experience of that?

Crap quality but you get the idea.

On a serious note heat gun and air duster or dry ice does work on shallow dents

So far none of ther advice offered is worth a damn as you haven't said how wide/deep the dents are...

Depends entirely on the dent, if the metal has stretched a lot then it will look crap no matter what you do.

Compressed air and a heat source is widely used on tinternet but no direct experience.

I tried using some dry ice from my lab (solid carbon dioxide) and a heat source on a dent in my car door (just out of interest, car is worth nothing) and I couldn't get the dent to pull. This was quite a sharp, narrow and long dent though, larger, softer dents are supposed to be easier to sort using this method.

Just ignore them. I have a huge dent in my wing, and door, also caused when I was fixing the car. Although it was my foot kicking it, rather than just leaning over it which caused the damage...

[gray84]

pay a PDR bloke to come remove them. they probs charge about £40 per panel but its not as easy as you think! i have all the tools and done a course its pretty tricky to perfect..

thats if you want perfection

Go for a drive to a popular tourist destination over the weekend, (the more busy roundabouts the better). Drive within the law and if you can set up an in car video, great. Sooner or later some tw@t will hit your wing (esp if left wing, on a roundabout). Claim off their insurance.
