Take Out Small Dents

i didnt see any dings in those pics, but you can try dry ice on the small ones. dry ice contracts the metal and "pops" the ding out.

Have you used dry ice like that before? I dont wanna mess up my paint. How exactly would I go about getting some dry ice and how would I use aply it or use it on the dents? You can see the dents on the fourth picture. Look at the lines of the hood. The left side of the pic shows the perfect line on the hood. The right side shows the line but its distorted a bit. You can only tell by the reflection.

ahhh, then i dont recommend the ice on that... dry ice is more for dings, not waves... ive used the dry ice before on hail damage. you place it on wax paper directly on the area and the ding slowly rises out.
