  • @htowngoonies keyboard cleaner is £4 in uk, search ebay for compressed air. To have a dent repaired your looking at £80 plus that's 20 times as much!

  • وين باشبك الاستشوار

  • I have a small dent about 3 inches in diameter on my door. I haven't touched it.. I don't know what you mean by creased.. Do you think this will work for me? Could it cause more damage if it doesn't work or is it worth a try no matter what? Is that compressed CO2? Thanks

  • but, will it blend???

  • what a load of shit , you people have to much time on your hands , I tried it nothing happened , FAIL

  • you think that would work for a bike fame

  • @bobdillback "face palm"

  • I have a Cadillac cts with a dent by the gas tank on the crease of the metal, if you can picture it. You know, the defining lines on the Cts and Sts. You think this will work on that or will it make it worse? It's seems as if it may, but I'm hesitant.

  • Can hail damage on auto engine hoods be popped out???

  • The guy actually removing the dent tries to explain where it will and will not work and the second guy keeps interrupting.

  • Whoever is holding the camera, looks bald...

  • i think that they put that dent there because it had to be creaseless or that would not of worked. in the real world its a one in a thousand easy dent.

  • @2010alleycat Incorrect. This is not a 1 in a thousand dent, specifically someone (In my opinion maliciously) 'fell' into my car and put this dent there.

  • did not work for my Lancer 1998 GL :(

  • Did you film this with a beer can?

  • Dude, before you use the dust spray; Do you have to heat the dent itself or just AROUND it?

  • is that a heat gun or regular blow dryer?

    

  • @remy7142002 Blow dryer. A heat gun would work, but you'd need to be careful with it as it's going to get much hotter then a hair dryer, potentially damaging the paint.

  • @defekticon how hot is it suppose to get before i use the compressed air?

  • near the airport ~ right ~!

  • camera in one hand beer in another

    fuck yea murferker

  • How small of a dent can this be done on? I've got about a quarter sized dent right above where my wheels are, no idea how it got there. Any tips for fixing it?

  • You can also get compressed air from dollar stores and video games as compressed air is solely for dusting. It doesn't have to be used for computers.

    Juts a tip for anyone on a budget. There's pocket-sized compressed canned air and pocket-sized hair dryers too for easy travel.

  • wat do you mean it wont work 4 a crease? wats a crease?

  • @letmo94 what he said

  • It's compressed air.... Computer dust off spray... you can get it at walmart for 5 bucks a can from the electronics department, or really ANY electronics store, or home improvement store.

  • @defekticon will CONTACT spray work?

  • I am confused about the aerosol,is it spraying oxygen or co2?do you have a brand name or could one use an compressor?

    Great video.

  • That is truly amazing .....

  • will this work with car door and roof dents? Cause last year something fell from a tree i was parked under and hit the top of my roof making a car door dent like circle. I don't know if it was a walnut or what.

  • If this worked body shops all over would be closing down it's a load of shit if it worked for them they got lucky with a prefect dent that would never happen twice

  • @bronzoni1129 lol speaking of body shops i know a guy that workds in a body shop that has done this and charged people 100 bucks. So navie people wouldn't know.

  • @bronzoni1129 Obviously it's not going to work for every dent. Some basic knowledge of metallurgy will allow you to estimate what chance you have of it working. But for a "push in" from a soft object (in this case it was caused by my ex-roomates fat asscheek), it was a no brainer.

  • @bronzoni1129 This does work... and pros use the technique..

  • @bronzoni1129

    You really know nothing of body work then as this is an old trick and a variant of some of the early dent removal services that used dry ice and water to contract the metal taking the play out of it and basically making it pop back into shape. As he said creases wont work but things like hail or large metal stretches like this it will work. Creased metal requires tooling and dollying.

  • I tried this today but it didn't work. How warm does the air from the hair dryer need to be? I don't have a lot of experience with hair dryers, so I have no idea if the one we got is good or not, but it definitely didn't seem very hot on the highest setting.. Could the lack of heat be the problem?

  • @Lasse3333 Not wanting to speak for the original uploader here but I believe that he is using an actual "Heat Gun" not a standard run of the mill hair/blow dryer (big difference between the two). Autobody shops typically have heatguns for the removal of vinyl lettering/striping for paint prep or for wherever heated air is called for.

  • @Lasse3333 Probably you bought the cheapest hair dryer at Walmart just like I did and the damn thing didn't get hot enough. Ended up buying a $20 bigger one and it worked.

  • Falcon go to costco and you can get 6 cand for like 5 bucks

  • What's the name and brand of the bottle spray thing you were using? I need to try this ASAP man!! Thanks

  • Any idea if this will work on a dent that is between the door crack and side panel? I have a coupe and have had a very small dent for awhile. You could count it as two small dents since the crack between the door and side panel separates them.

  • @ArtofWar91 dude it costs like 5 bucks to try

  • Fat ass cheek LOL Great job bro .

  • lol nice, u guys said "holy shit" at the same time

  • If you can access the interior side of the dent you can pop it out by bumping it with your hand.

    But this does work too and makes for pretty cool video.

  • I have a dent the size of a penny on my truck... think it'll come out if I try this?

  • This video is a life saver, thank you so much!

  • that is pretty cool, imma try that at work sometime! btw to all you folks having trouble tryingt this, if you can get ahold of a glass fitting suction cup, wet it around the rim, gently press it on and pull, should pop out just like this guys nifty lil trick on dents similar to the one in this vid.

  • attempted this today and tragically it did not work. I realized that since i have a brand new 2010 corolla most of the exterior is made of plastic. Most newer vehicles are made with plastic so if u fall into that category it prob wont work for you either. Ill prob have to remove the inner door panel and use a heat gun of blow dryer and work it out that way.

  • Did this do any damage to the paint in the long run?

  • @d3hawks47 No it did not.

  • did the dent come back?

  • @Matterboy81 Nope

  • I did this with a small butane torch I had. I heated up the dented area until the paint started smoking and sliding off then I threw my slurpee on it and it worked just as good. Didn't even need any can of compressed air. Those things are expensive, slurpees are $1

  • @203066111 keyboard cleaner is expensive? plus we dont wanna torch our paint right off. ur wild

  • That's it, I'm trying this.

  • this method does not work check this video to know the truth

    type hbaucicaut03

  • i dont get why some people is like this is bull crap i tryed it...... the man just did on cam right im front of you, ya'll just saw the video

  • aawww ur lucky. i tried this and didnt work on my 05 honda civic :(

  • @nuwgen its because its a honda lol...

  • An asshole friend of mine decided it would be cute to enter my S2000 without opening the door and put a ripple in the driver's door with his leg in the process. I am going to try this and hopefully make it disappear. Should I use a standard can of computer duster-type compressed air and a regular hair dryer?

  • didnt work at all. waste of time and money. i tryed 3 times and again on another car.

  • Easily the coolest and most practically useful trick I have learnt off of YouTube. Thank you very much.

  • nice car 

  • great information.....

  • where did you get the compressed air spray bottle?

  • Is you car half chrome plated? Nice reflection.

  • That was not free! It cost 7c in power and 15c in co2! lol

  • how long had you had the dent before you tried the air/heat trick?

  • Would I be able to just use a heat gun?

  • This is a real thermal shock!!! cool!!!!

  • Never seen it done but had heard about it! Seems almost like magic. Thanks for posting!

  • Does it work for really big dents?

  • i am defiantly going to try this on my golf will save me fortune.

  • WOW!! I shall try this on my swift soon. Can you tell me where do you get the can of air? What is it called?

    Thanks

  • @GregoryHouseMD1 Its compressed air, canned air, few names for it, you can get it anywhere there is computer stuff, the main purpose of it, is to remove dust from your computer. Might even be called dust remover. I think its about 3 bucks or so, not to bad.

  • @VirtualJunky sometimes even green gas

  • @GregoryHouseMD1 At any computer store and some hardware stores, by the look of that can if it is the same as I think it is it was actually a green gas can.

  • That's Metallurgy there for ya! Nice to bad my clients FD got more then just that.

  • so does this actually work like for real?

  • 22k for an FD? Damn thats high unless you have mad low miles lol

  • @CJAEY It had about 35k into it, so I still took a loss. LS1 swapped, done right full a/c, power steering, etc.

  • will this work on getting the dimples out of my girlfriends ass?

  • @codynieman If you had one, hell yeah it works. Spray her cheeks until her ass freezes over.

  • Awesome trick. Do you think it will work on small dings?

  • @AzJessie86 Other people on youtube have tried small dings and it didn't work for them...Worth a try anyway though right?

  • did you buy the car with this paint job?? what colour is it? the shine off it is amazing!

  • I don't have a hair dryer but will a heat gun get to hot?

  • That car was so shiny I could see the shine in the bald guys head.

  • *POP*

  • @checazzovolete 1:09 for the *POP* lol

  • What did you mean when you said it only works on ones that aren't creased (towards the end of the video)? I have a dent a little bigger than the one in this video and wanted to see if this works.

  • @christoph7051 Once the metal is physically deformed (stretched) the dent will no longer come out using this method. Despite the dent being pushed in, it hadn't lost it's original shape since it was a fat ass cheek that caused this dent and not a sharp pointy metal object like a nail that would definitely deform the metal with out much force.

  • Amazing. Need to do this to my Rx7 for some of the dent I can't get to.

  • Is there really no damage to your painting?

  • That's pretty sick! I've used a plunger to get rid of some dents but looks so much cooler!

  • man i try this like 4 times in my volvo, didn't work =(

  • tell the camera man to STFU! u got a dent ova here man... oh a bigger one there...

  • what do you mean by havent creased? i have some little one (size of pebbles) really want to remove them

  • I try this it didn't work for me 96 ford mustang. sux!

  • no freakin way! nice job!

  • why would you sell such a beautiful car? =/

  • Like many people I used a can of pipe freezing spray, available from plumbing merchants. Neat trick

  • good job and nice video

  • It's another form of shrinking, an auto body technique used to tighten stretched metal you are working.  It will not work if there is a crease in the panel, then you would need PDR and if it is really creased bad, a body shop.

  • I've repaired the side of my car with filler and had it resprayed, a small dent above the repaired dent still remains. Do you think this method would crack the filler below?

  • no shit

  • so how long has it been since you did this, and there are no issues with the area you worked on?? thanks

  • @mastaxkim It's been almost two years and I've had zero problems. I just sold the car a few days ago actually and it was still not an issue.

  • @defekticon for how much?

  • @Asanj3RSplayer 22,500

  • @defekticon WHAT you sold it for that much? I wonder how much mine would sell for... 36k original miles

  • does this work on tiny door dents?

  • what kind of air coompresser bottle was that

  • CO2 in a gas form is still an air.

  • I just thought i would make a correction it's not "compressed air" it is "compressed co2" and to answer some questions about why hes holding the can upside down he is holding it upside down because co2 in it's natural form is a liquid and in order to use it's freezing properties it must be sprayed on the car in it's liquid form hence you see him holding it upside down and the white "smoke". When it's not held upside down you will see very little to no white "smoke".

  • @3lit3killa

    ummm.... no. You obviously don't know what you are talking about. Why would a gas magically turn into a liquid just because it is held upside down?

  • @astralisdustin

    Are you new? or do you not know how to read? CO2 is liquid. it is contained in the tank in liqiud form when it is released it is released in gas form because it has space in the can to be converted into the gas form. there is no syphon tube in the can like there would be in a normal aerosol can because its not meant to spray the liquid CO2 it is only meant to spay the expanded gas form of CO2. By holding the can upside down the liquid form of CO2 is released.

  • Olá amigo... gostaria de saber que tipo de Polimento foi feito nesta pintura.

    muito bonito o efeito de espelhamento!

    obrigado desde ja forte abraço.

  • To all you who can't figure out how it works, it's simple physics really.

    Heat expands, lack of heat contracts. That's the simple idea behind it.

    While using the hair dryer, he was expanding the molecules, making then looser and easier the manipulate. When he added the liquid nitrogen the molecules quickly compacted together because of the freezing temperature. The quick temperature change causes the molecules to become more dense than normal for a brief second causing the panel to "pop" back

  • dam nice Rx7 man i have a rover metro/100 haha

  • i'll remember this incase ever happens to me! :)

  • Duck!! a jetliner is flying a little too low!

  • why do you have to use the can upside down???

  • Wait a minute. The air in that can is compressed by liquid nitrogen and turning it upside down releases it. Not just air that you're using there...

    Great solution nevertheless. ;) If you ever lose a tire off the rim, all you need is some lighter fluid and an open flame.

  • @TraustiGeir Use fluid and you burn up your tire, the word you are looking for is gas.

  • @FlakeSE Watch the first two minutes of 'Top Gear: Polar Special part 2 - BBC' and you'll see what I mean. ;)

  • it looks like you live in a hot area. im not sure if it will work for me or if that could be a deciding factor. i hope it works anyways XD

  • This car deserves to be dent free,

  • defekticon,

    What kind of Co2 spray is it? where can i get it from?

  • @fbbli1025

    This is regular Keyboard cleaner type compressed air.

  • Will doing this ruin the paint?

  • @408xbaoheeezy

    No. It will not ruin the paint. I wouldn't do it on a car that you just painted however.

  • Has the Dent Come Back? In other Videos ive read once back on heat of the sun the dent will return. im thinking of using this method to my 05 Nissan Altima. Any Ideas

  • This is bullshit. There was a guy in the trunk, that pushed the dent out at the right moment.  Don't be fooled by these hooligans!!

  • hello im new here but what was you spraying on the car. whats the name of it..?

  • @onyx6462

    compressed air duster

  • I took 90% of a huge dent from front quarterpanel of my son's subaru using this method. It's insane!

  • nice RX7 very clean and sexy =]

  • It made a popping sound when it straightened right?

  • I also have 93 FD single turbo makes 453 rear wheel hp on 110 octain 350 hp on pump gas. what was that you were spraying? it looks like freon

  • @rotarycomptech looks like he is just using one of those keyboard air spray cleaners but held upside down so it sprays out all the nitrogen or w/e is in side it.

  • That is a Beautiful car...and an awesome dent pulling trick. Keep up the good work!

  • i no ther was a man inside of the jrong lmao and he mad it com out lolol

  • That was cool to watch.

  • Anyone had any luck with this method on smaller dents, maybe quarter size or door dings?

  • omfg as soon as the heat gun came out i knew this wasnt gonna be good, but i have to say im quite impressed

    well done

  • now get me out of this trunk charlie charlieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­!!!!

  • 1:09 The Sound of Victory

    LOL ;)

  • @12345134768769680800, all of this coming from someone who can't even put together a proper sentence. I think you need to go back to school to learn grammar and spelling. But back on topic--of course metal has a memory. That's the whole premise of paintless dent removal. Silly kid!

  • @12345134768769680800, the only thing I want to use hammer on is your head. You obviously have a lot to learn, son. So in the meantime, stop lying to everyone. If you think metal does not have a memory, then open a book and learn something for once in your life.

  • Is there a type of compressed air can we need or are they all the same? I got a hair dryer, all I'm missing is a compressed air can.

  • @12345134768769680800, you are a complete and total idiot. The heat from the sun will NOT make the dent reappear, you stupid douche. Metal has a memory. The dent is NOT the normal shape of the metal, so once it is removed, it will stay in the original shape regardless of hot or cold temps.

  • @EvenSteven2004 That's not what this guy that works at an auto body shop.. says in his video.....about dry ice dent repairs at least. He states that going back out into the sun will cause the dent to re-appear.

    h t t p : / / w w w .metacafe. c o m / watch/3490889/dent_repair_with­_dry_ice/

  • @samrasimplicity The dent has not and will not return.

  • i tried it on small dents and it didnt work , it really depends on the kind of dent

  • I'm trying this on my civic small dent in the left front that's really annoying me

  • this is may 2009, WHY DIDNY U LISTEN TO BILLY MAY'S LAST BREATH?!?!?! he offered us a limited time offer on a dent removal NOW HES GONE WAAAAAAAAAH!

  • @12345134768769680800 what the fuck are you smoking..

  • @12345134768769680800

    2PAK paint is designed to expand and contract....

  • COOL!!! your car is metal, so IT WORKS, sadly for those people if have fiber glass car!!! lol

  • @kikearmenta Actually, fiberglass will break or crack instead of a dent. I don't think there are cars made out of complete fiberglass.

  • @jjchargerboy16 lol, I know, I was kidding!! lol

  • @kikearmenta Oh...LOL!

  • Lucky s.o.b.

  • Molecular physics at its best. The heat makes the metal expand The rapid cold blast tightens the metal back. Pulling the weaker metal (dent) back faster then the other metal

  • are there any risks to this? i have a dent on my rear quarter panel of my G35 coupe and i'm tempted to try this... i guess i need to figure out what its made out of too.. aluminum? steel? plastic? i'm assuming this only works on plastic. What about tiny hail-type dents, or are those too sharp?

  • @ryanazarko No there is no risk to your paint or clear coat. My car is made out of steel sheet metal the same as your car. the only difference maybe that mine is thinner. If the metal is stretched at the center of the dent, then the dent will not pull out with this method. 

  • will it work on small hail dents?

  • One of the main reasons this works is because its an aluminum body. The expansion rate of aluminum is much greater than steel. Still...BRAVO, awesome work.

    But I would be very surprised if this worked on a steel body panel. I also assume it would have to be on a dent that created a true "oil-can" effect. Like on a door or some panel that only had contour in one direction I would be surprised if it worked.

    Again EXCELLENT demonstration!!! Thanks for that.

  • @AZAZPdotcom Incorrect. This is not an aluminum bodied car. This car is made of regular steel sheet metal just like any other car.

  • what the spray thing called?

  • @bingbing207 it's just a compressed air can. They sell them at pretty much any store like office max, office depot, heck I'll be willing to bet Kmart and Wallmart sell it too. Normally if you hold it right side up it shoots air to dust of your keyboard on your computer. If you hold it upside down it shoots liquid CO2. It works for this and also to burn the shit out of your buddy's skin which is hilarious.

  • I tried this, didn't work, but my dents were a lot smaller.

  • does it work on plastic?

  • @GodSentAKA No

  • i wish i had an RX7. lucky!

  • bull shit

    

  • Does this do any sort of damage to the paint it self? Also, I guess it won't work if there is a line or crease?
