Default Ding King?

I'm collecting way too many dings from garages in NY,
and it's costing way too much for me to removing them.
And i came across this, Ding King

Have anyone used this before?
It looks like it may ruin the paint but what the hell, it's only 16 bucks!

What do you guys think?

some have said it damaged their paint finish but i guess they fvcked up the instructions. but i'd give it a try seeing how expensive pro dent repair is. i had a pro do mine (spent $150+) 1 month ago. now i have 2 new dings

i bought one of those things and it is a waste of your 16 bucks. I tried to make it work but it was just worthless.

It depends on exactly where the ding is and how anal you are about having a truly perfect result.

Dings on relatively flat panels and that don't have a crease in them (i.e., broad dimples, like hail can do) can actually come out pretty good. Dings with creases or on the car's more complex bodywork are hopeless with this gadget.

I've used one on our Subaru, but so far (knock on wood) I haven't had to make the decision about using it on my S. HPH

Dude, just spend the 100.-125.00 and have Dent Wizard fix it for you. You'll be better off in the end and happier.

Ding King is BAD. When you pop the dent out it makes the paint come up farther than original, and will leave white rings around the spot in time. Pay for a professional to do it.

DOESNT WORK! it makes the origninal dent look like a bunch of smaller ones after you use it. Go to a proffessional paintless dent remover

just start a dent day in your area... just like bay area s2k, we occasionally have dent days and since in essesnce its kinda like a group buy, we get discounts... i think its 35/dent now ... but yea... just a suggestion. over here its usually 75/dent, i dont know where its like 100-150/dent... thats expensive
