Ding King !

Parker · 7th January 2009, 13:01

Some idiot decided to try & kick my mirror off Xmas night and as such also kicked the door & managed to put 3 golf ball sized dents in it. I've managed to get hold of a Ding King kit (yeah great name from USA). Has anyone ever used one to remove dents and get a satisfactory result? Will give it a go once things warm up weather wise, it looks like it may do the job but any tips if you have used one much appreciated.

I got one off ebay and was very impressed. As long as the paint hasn't broken and the dent isn't too deep they do a good job. May take quite a few attempts so you need to be patient. Best done during warm weather or in a heated garage otherwise the glue doesn't always set well. Think it cost me around 20 quid and a few hours work - end result was worth it.

Just had a look on ebay, and it's a very clever piece of kit.

I can see that it will do round dents very easily, just wondering about long this ones (edge of a car door into the middle of a panel) sort of dent.

May be worth a punt though.
