Hey guys. Iv heard that trick on a site. I do not take any credit for it. lol.

So basically. I am going to Try and remove a dent on my driver's door. It was there when i bought the car, so i dont know for how long it has been dented. I'v Heard its best to use the trick within a month from the accident.

The tools:
A sexy girlfriend who takes pictures


An Air Duster spray can (Staples, Bestbuy) (i bought it for 9.50 CAD at Staples) and a Heat Gun (a hair dryer can also be used)


Pictures BEFORE:





1st: You heat the area of the Dent and arround it for about 4-5 minuts with a Heat gun (a bit more with a hairdryer because its less powerfull), it has to be very hot.




Get your Spraycan ready, upside down, so you can spray as soon as u shut the Gun off:


Spray the area for about 10 seconds:




Let it rest for 10-20 seconds. In my case, it pop-out imediatly when i sprayed the stuff on the door. But sometimes, it might need some time to work. As i said, its best to do it with a fresh dent. And on a hot summer day, so the metal doesn't cool down.

After you'r done. You will have to heat the spot again, to remove the frozen sh*t.



P.S you dont see it from the sides, but after u'v removed the frozen stuff, u will see some kind of stretch marks or scratches on the spot the frozen stuff was. Dont worry, it is just frozen paint or smthing, i dont know, u can't scratch it off or rubb it off. U just need to take a heat gun, and heat it up more till it disapears, and it becomes like new again. I had a moment of panic, cuz they looked like scratches, but it disapeared :P.

After pics:




It didn't work as well as it should have because it was cold.. i was patient, lol. And i didn't spray over a large area. I am going to retry it, but the panel did pop-off, and it looked quiet better than before.

P.S The porsche is my gf's dad car. :P

It said 1 minut on the Video. Ill try it again. But i did it for 4-5 minuts, it didn't do anything to the paint, so the hotter it gets the better, just be carefull with plastics.

hmmm i wonder if this will work on the fenders.......i took a golf ball to the fender while hitting some practice shots........

it would have to be freezing air. so no, it wouldnt work with a normal air compressor.

It's actually nitrogen, but I call the cans compressed air, not an air compressor

Since then, my car's door got fucked even more in a parking lot.. It was changed, and then a year later, the whole car got fixed up and repainted. That was 3 years ago, the year i bought the car :-)
