Airduster paintless dent removal, waste of time?

dale2321 · 11-13-2011, 06:52 PM

I recently read lots of info from all over the web where people were saying using dry ice or an air duster can (held upside down) sprayed onto a dent can pop it out and be like new.

The entire process was to heat the relevant area with a heat gun/hair dryer then spray on the co2, the freezing caused by this should cause the metal to contract and pop back out.

I was very sceptical but whilst in Staples an air duster was only about £2, so I thought I would give it a try. Albeit on a pretty sharp dent but it had no effect whatsoever.

After I wasted my time and my couple of quid I wondered has anyone had any success with this?

Inspired me to search the internet and i found this:

Dent Repair with Dry Ice - YouTube

If for nothing else i just wathched it to laugh at that guy. He did it for like 20min so he could in the end say "but this doesnt really work" in a very awkward way. No way i would take my car to this guy for repair.
