Not sure wheather to believe it causes no damage to the paint work. Its a clever idea and clearly works but it might cause the paint to bubble and come away from the metal.

Owen

I'm skeptical about that too, but if you're planning a professional dent doctor/repair job, it might be one last manual attempt before you spend 300 anyway.

Down with this sort of thing, Volvoboy, get in here fast, us panelbeaters have to stick together. Its only a matter of time before people will start touching up their cars paintwork with brushes, we're doomed!!!:D

"This technique cause any damage to the paint"

So the video says it does damage the paint?

He means it doesn't, it's just a bad translation from French.

Anyone care to volunteer their car for an experiment? To prove/disprove the validity of this.

Don't some of these professional 'paintless dent repair' places use dry ice to achieve the same effect? If so, I can't see anything wrong with it.

I got two tennis ball sized dents on the rear quarter of my car thanks to some anonymous sh!t-for-brains in the QuickPark at Dublin airport last week, so I may give it a try.
