Removing dents from car body panels
3 Answers
Has anyone used the dent repair tools that you find on the web where you use suckers etc to pull the dent out? I have a 6cm wide dent (about 2cm depth) in my door that I would like to DIY it to save money. Any ideas on how to make the best repair? Thanks Dave

I personally would take the door panell off from the inside, and try and push it out gently, prefferably with somone pushing slightly against you with a large rag folded as to make a cushion, if that doesn't work you may be better getting help from someone who knows what theire doing, It all depends on the value of the car of course.
good luck.
