Hail Damage fix? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Shawn D · 08-02-2011, 09:31 AM

Hey I was just wondering if any of you guys do paintless dent removal on the side or know the process because I just bought a 07 hatch with some pretty deep hail damage on the roof and I was wondering if anyone could give me any tips or tricks. I plan on buying a couple tools but not sure what to get either

Any help would be appriciated

Thanks!!!

There used to be a dent remover for sale that worked on some dents. I think Billy Maze even sold a version of it through infomercials. You suction-cupped the thing to the car on either side of the dent and tightened the center which you glued to the dent until it pulled the dent up and out. Kinda hard to describe but I would be looking for that before going to a shop.

^ Yes that's it.

However, paintless dent removal places use a variety of methods to remove dents other than/in addition to, the brute force method that the dent king uses.

The deny king is worth a try but it does get mixed results acording to users.
Many say it's worthless for most dents.

Yeah I'm looking more into the metal rods that you use to get behind dent.

The dents are that bad huh? Sorry, that's out of my help range. Good luck.

Shawn D · 08-04-2011, 05:01 PM

they aren't like sharp dents but I'd go through a lot of glue because there are probably about 40 on the roof.

you want to buy tool but have you any knowledge that how to use them on dents b'coz this technique demands lots of practice and experience. so be careful.

To be honest, perhaps you should see a couple of pros and ask their opionion and get a price from them.
It might be cheaper in the long run when you factor in all the work and frustration you will experience trying to get all the 40 dents out yourself and it still wont look right.

Yeah I plan on getting a quote. and I know it takes alot of expierence- But I buy a lot of auction cars and I feel like it'd be a good technique to learn. Gotta start some time if I want to learn.

What was that story about the blonde with the same problem, dents in her car. Someone told her to just blow real hard into the exhaust pipe, which she tried. Her blonde buddy showed up. "How stupid you are! You have to roll up the windows first!"
