Dry Ice door ding removal?

InlineSix · 08-19-2010, 09:32 AM

Anyone every try using Dry Ice to get a door ding out?

Apparently you can apply dry ice wrapped in a thin towl, apply it for 10 seconds or so, and the ding will pop out. I guess depending on the type of ding.

Any success?

I have heard that it will sometimes work depending on the ding and location. Best bet is still to use a PDR guy that does great work.

id be worried about the ice making the paint too cold, and when the dent pops out, the paint might flake/splinter.

Lots of video on youtube for doing this. Have not tried it myself.
