Theres a thread for youtube videos.

And no it doesnt actually work.
It eventually cracks the paint and/or surface.

Its like trying to open a door with a tennis ball

I've tried it anf FAILED. It depends on the dent.

You can buy dry ice from dry ice manufactures. Theres a place in Botany [Sydney] near eastgardens which manufactures it but you can go there with an esky and buy the offcuts. The offcuts are pretty damn big and its dirt cheap[ per Kg]

Nah dont use dry ice.

Use a hair dryer or a heatgun and freeze in a can. Alternatively you can tip a can of compressed air upside down and it will shoot liquid freeze.

:thumbsup: Paintless dent removal is the way to go.

Was gonna say that, it's like $50 for a ding.As if you'd even bother trying it yourself.
