How bad is the dent? If it's not that serious but tends to bug you, use dry ice. If you're local to me I'll do it for you.

I just noticed I have a tiny ding on the roof of my car that bugs me. Does this dry ice method really work?

you can actually buy dry ice at pretty much any major grocery store. its usually in the front hiding. Just look for the box that has the penguin on it. I used to buy all the time when they first started selling cause i was obsessed with dry ice bombs a while back

Timmy, you need to help me with my dent then...

I doubt it will work though, cause my dent in on a bend portion of the car.

I had this dent, ever since the car was about 2 months old, I think someone punched it or a golf ball hit it

Acording to this video, the dent will re-appear once the area (dented area) is heated or in the sun.

that is weird.... if the dent re-apears, then why waste money on the dry ice, and time? is there a point? unless you plan on driving in the shade of the life of the car.... haha

I personally know and have used Jaime of PDR (paintless dent repair.) His work is clean and he's done work on all my cars including my SC 430. If you're interested let me know and I'll give you the #. He's mobile too. He doesn't use dry ice at all.
