I don'r know about a "pops a dent" brand, but I used a toilet plunger once to great effect.
Big, shallow dent, no creases. Zach |

Harbor Freight sells little suckers for a few bucks. I've used them to pull dents out of cars I don't care much about. Not the best way to fix a dent but better than leaving in alone.

I paid a "door-ding" guy $100 to remove several from both doors of the SC. Even after looking at these dings for 2 yrs., I couldn't find where they used to be. Amazing.
If your car is nice, I would recommend letting someone else do it. I'd hate to mess up a good paint job myself. |

OK for a family sedan not OK for a Porsche. They do put a plug in the hole but then it's not original. |

I offered to remove the door panels as I was going to replace them anyway, but he said it isn't necessary. As I said...amazing. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) THE DING KING (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) ..............sucked big time, fell for the infomercial. Had a 95 accord with a dent on the fender. Most of the time the hot glue provided to attach the thing with wouldnt hold, and then the one time it did it pulled the dent out only to create two small dents on either side of it, I would really love a chance to meet the inventor so I could glue the puller to his forehead and....... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) I guess the moral is F*&@ the Ding King.
