Removing hail damage with canned air?
 

I saw a video here (3rd video down)
http://www.wisebread.com/remove-car-...ly-and-cheaply

Where they use a lighter and a thing of canned air to remove a fairly large sized dent from a car. My blazer has a bit of hail damage on the hood and I was wondering if anybody has tried this.

I'm more wondering if it will work on golfball sized hail spots vs. the video with a fairly easy dent.

I've never heard of anyone doing this but i'm intrigued to know if it actually works.

#1 That pic is awesome. **right-click save**

#2 I'm interested to see if it works, someone try it!

So I tried it on like 6 hail dents and my verdict is....maybe...not really. I think it worked on those dents in the video because they're on a door panel spread across a large area. Everything in the video did happen, except the dent didn't really come out. Some of them became slightly less noticable.

I think the hail dents stretched the metal, while the ones in the video were just bent metal so it was easy to revert back.

Verdict: Not really...can't hurt to try.

whered you try it at?

it will work an the thin metal on the dors, but not on the hood or fenders, the same concept can be acheived with de-icer and a heat-gun.
get the metal really cold with the de-icer, and use the heat-gun on it, the extreme change in tempature will make the metal to pop out.

holy crap,

i have had 1 little dent in my driver side from a damn shopping cart since i bought my blazer, im going out side right now to try this and im going to video it.

its worth a try lol

if it works ill post it up, if it doesn't ill hang my head in shame.

didnt work lol

As I figured. Saved me $5 since I was gonna try it just to prove/disprove it for myself. So where is the video?

i couldn't find the flip cam.
