Do you know of any paintless dent repair kits available other than the
infomercial screw type dent puller/popper? I heard that there are kits
available for removing dings and dents. I am not talking about major
body shop damage. A friend of mine had several small dents caused by
hail damage to the roof and hood of his car and he went to a place
and had them all removed in less than 2 hours and did not need a
paint job. It seems that someone who is half way handy ought to be
able to buy something and repair ones own dents at home without
paying big bucks. Thanks for your help.

google "pdr paintless dent repair"

It takes a skill to do correctly.
