I have a ding in my driver side door that I want to get rid of. My co-worker brought in this "Ding King" kit, I'll try to explain what it looks like. Picture a bar that lines up parallel to your car's body with two round rubber braces at each end, and a round suction cup, in the middle, that you place on the dent. The kit comes with a glue gun, you are supposed to glue the middle piece to the dent, and also comes with solution to clean the glue off when finished. Once the kit is in place you twist a nob on the back of the middle suction cup and magically the dent is pulled.

I'm a bit hestitant to try this because it seems our cars' bodies aren't the strongest and I might turn one ding into three (because of the connection points). Has anyone tried this? Thanks in advance.

"one ding will cost you 50 bucks or something to get it pulled. just go have it done."

- yah that's the route I'm going to go. I like DIY stuff but I should probably leave this to the pros.

Don't use a dent pulling tool that is made of metal. The inflexible arm is liable to cause 2 additional dents in the panel. I agree with the rest of the folks that having an expert remove the ding is the best route.

Having said that, I have used Pops-a-Dent (with a plastic arm). I got a ding in the panel just to the rear of the driver's door. The panel there is double-walled and did not lend itself easily to "pushing" out the dent. I was able to remove 95% of the dent by carefully following directions and slowly increasing the strength of the pull. It took about 10 cycles. However, it's a nerve wracking process if you really love your car.

I used the Ding king on a decent sized dent above my rear right wheel... a bit below the antenna.

I pulled it out, but it had a ripple effect... it pulled the center of the dent out further than I wanted, and the outer parts of the dent stayed in... Expensive mistake... looks worse too.

It'll probably cost $100 to remove now, instead of $50.

A large size dent will probably have some what of a small crease in it, but this might be worth you looking into.



1-Apply glue to dent pulling tab.

2-Quickly apply to center of dent and let cool for a few minutes.

3-Place pulling bridge over dent pulling tab.

4-Twist wing nut on to dent pulling tab and twist the dent out till it pops.

5-Remove glue with supplied glue remover. Polish with soft, clean cloth.

This thing looks pretty cool actually. It only runs $29.
