Default dents

i have a 92 prelude with a couple of dents on one side, from dummies in parking lots of course.

can anyone recommend anything that I could use to remove the dents without taking it to a body shop???

i Know how you feel, my car got hit at school the other day in the (RCC) parking lot. The good thing is that my friends in the auto body class and hes going to fix it for me, but he doesnt know how to paint.

have you tried taking the plunger too it, it usualy works on big dents, from what you have said it sounds like a small one, look for a smaller verson of a pluger, i forget what they are called, they use them on windows, when they are carrying them.

These "dents" sound more like "dings", which are to small to pull out with a suction type tool.

The ding king works. It may not get the whole ding out, but it does some. It cost around 20 bucks. I got mine at Pep Boys.
