Unhappy Small Dent Removal

do the Billy Mays dent removal kits work for small dents maybe 2 to 3 inch in diameter? or even small ones like 1 - 2 inch (stupid people opening their doors in parking lots, they parked close to me)

oh and I was trying to set my alarm off and put my knee on the top of the front fender above tire well and pressed my weight on it 200lbs DENT!

The best thing to do for dents is to buy a dent puller(only 10 bucks) and pull it out yourself and have a body shop fill and paint the hole

Dent pullers are fo exactly that, dents. He's reffering to dings.

No he called it a dent not a ding. And I think a 2 to 3 in divot is a dent and not a ding

if the Dent / ding does not come out with a dent puller then take that part of the car off and get a hammer and dolly and with the dolly on the face of the dent and on the back of the dent/ding(raised part) start working at it if its small enough use the pick hammer with pick side and start to shape it then when your done shaping the the metal and got it the way you want it then start sanding it down get a peice a stryofome(however you speel it) and put 180 sand paper on it and start to sand it then wet sand with 400 or 600 if paint is metallic for some reason then paint and boom its fixed.

NEVER USE BONDO OR BODY FILLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it will crack and waving if not put on properly or if put too much hardner or too less hardner
do not use that kmart bondo with the red mustang on it . By any chance if you do use bondo pratice before you put on its a skill to use. and buy bondo from a paint store same price as kmart bondo and just better
