.

You talking about that thing the Oxyclean guy sells on tv? I seriously doubt that thing works as well as he shows. Doing it the way he shows with some kind of glue that looks sort of like superglue, I assume would either not get the dent out completely or would leave a nice little white ring where you placed the "ding king". Get it removed professionally, cheap alternatives usually have cheap results.

I put a stupid dent in my fender backing into my carport. (not used to how wide it is). It's amazing how expensive a little dent can be. If you can get to the inside of the fender, you may be able to tap it out with a rubber mallet. Otherwise, take it in and have it done professionally. Get a whole bunch of estimates, though. And tell them that the first guy quoted like 400 and see if they'll beat it.

Well it looks like it cost too much money for me to repair rite now. Its not a bad dent but its still a dent. i got some touch up paint to hpoefully prevent rusting til i can afford to fix it. THe goodthing is that there is little to no paint damage. jsut a few small scratches.
