Default remove small dents with dry ice

this video isn't streaming to well right now but if you can get it to work it shows how to take small dings and dents out of your car's body panels with dry ice.

the way it works is that the ice shrinks the metal in the spot where the dent is and then it heats back up, shrinking the dent in the process.

If you really do it, you should take video. I'm not taking the OP's video for truth
