MMP09 Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 Past few days I came across this Dent remover product named something as dent king on TV Channels. They claim that with a few simple steps, the appartus provided by them can pop out a dent and make it disapper as if it waw never there. Has anyone tried any such product and do such thing really work.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asethi919 Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 Although I have my doubts but I have never used them. I would like to know though, if there is any truth to their claims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durango Dude Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 There is no such thing as a dent remover. Metal once dented has to be beaten back to shape then primed and repainted. Only material that doesn't dent easily is FRP. I had a Sipani D-1 and a scooter fell on the left door and there was no dent/scratch. Sipani D-1 came with a FRP body and probably this is the only good thing I have to say about this otherwise worthless thing on 4 wheels that was passed off as a car. After that I have strictly stayed away from indigenous Bangalore cars. Durango Dude2009-09-20 12:18:49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CYRUS43 Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 I would have loved to have a dolphin. Rear Wheel drive in such a small car would have been deadly!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winner48 Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 They will give you a chemical which will make you go BLIND as soon as you open it. Since, you cant see, you will never know whether it is there or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rssh Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 I have actually seen the dent king stall in center one mall at vashi long time ago. It consists of a gum kind of thing which you apply to a rod .We then place the rod on the center of the dent then put a horizontal rule having 2 stands on the edges . we then screw the thing to remove the dent . I think you saw the red swift adv right . They showed us on the alto but only small dent of cheap cars can be repaired but if similar dent is there on palio of tank built car it may not work .Also I have suspicion that the glue will ruin the paint job in the long run.

rameshbabu.n Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 I am also interested in this product. I saw it being sold in Malaysia. I asked the shopkeeper for info as per which there shall be no paste or glue. Only a cup-shaped unit is fixed in the centre of the dent by using vaccum. When once it is holding onto the dent, it is lifted up by using a screw-type of holder, slowly and steadily. In a majority of cases, the dent is reversed to a large extent, and the paint is intact. However, it is not as good as being done with a skilled hand. The result could be a number of small dents instead of one big dent. That was 3 years back. Now, I expect the system to evolve into a better one which may completely remove the dent. I am waiting for some actual-user's experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goenkakushal Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 My friend this kind of product will work only for very small dent which are on flat surface of the car.. if these are on the curves or at the end of door panel this product wil fail to be of any use. As said by one of my friend on a car like palio it wont work because the glue used will not be able to take the force needed to pull out heavy metal sheets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgiitk Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 These things are essentially Dent Pullers. You make a small hole, screw the device in and then pull out the dent. Then you cover/touch up the hole. They used to be quite popular in the west for small dents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMP09 Posted September 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 I had a look at those videos on youtube as mentined above...the video itself does not claim the methods mentioned therein (e.g. using dry ice etc) to be reliable in any way.
