Post Bonnet Dent Removal

AA man closed the bonnet after a breakdown yesterday and whilst pressing down to close the bonnet has inadvertently made a small dent on the front. Anyone recommend any inexpensive and easy to use 'suction type' kits that DO work......especially on highly waxed vehicles! Don't like the thought of traditional drill a hole and pull type kits? Flea bay and Amazon are awash with kits but which one to choose??

There is a method using a hairdryer but dunno how successful it is. I've used DentCure and had lots of minor dents removed without trace, £65 for me but would obviously depend on size and position.

Can you not go back to the AA and let them sort the damage considering they caused it?

I agree, they are a huge organisation and are quick of the mark to take your money so they should foot the bill.

All I can say, without personal experience, is yes.
Guy at work forwarded that very link to me as we had been discussing similar problems. He went and bought one.
Came into work the day after he had used it from ear to ear.

I might try and blag a trial on my 'ding'
