Default Small Dent Removal

Any clues on how to get little dents out?

They are about the size of your thumb.

I bought the big dent remover from autozone, should have known that would not work.

Got a couple around my car, and my ocd goes off every time i notice it with the sunlight reflecting off it,

Have you ever tried the old hot cold technique? I tried it recently, heat up the dent with a blow dryer and then spray some freeze off or electronic duster cleaner on there and the dents supposedly pops out. Mine didnt work because the freeze off didnt freeze right. Tried to buy a can of air duster at walmart and they didnt sell it to me... it only costs a few bucks to try it and a lot of people have had mixed success. Try it, look it up. easy dent removal.

When you tried that did you tip the can upside down? Yeah.. I've messed with those air dusters before and if you tip them upside down you get like major frostbite if it gets on your skin and there's like some white stuff that comes out.

I asked my science teacher she said it made sense... but anyway its a picky technique though, like the dent cant be too small. It also cant be like on the corner of a fender. It has to be right in the middle of a body panel nice sized.

Yes, that is common sense.
