Getting dents out of a car?

[MetaMan]

I sat on my buddies roof and my fat ass left an indent, i am wondering if there is any quick ways of getting the dent out?

paintless dent removal.
Just look it up in the phone book, should cost much.

not sure what the headliner is like in his car, but have you tried just pushing it out from inside the car?

haha that sucks..

Look for Pops A Dent - that should work too

take some of the dustremover shit in the can, turn it upside down so the liquid comes out, and spray the whole area till its covered in frost

then take a blowdryer on high, and heat the area you just sprayed

if you cant find the dust remover in a can, some dry ice will work well, but wear some good gloves when you handle it.

When you are finished, toss the dry ice in a bucket of soapy water

nope i have not, i am gonna try to do it today. it is a "clean" dent as in it is nice and round like my ass cheek. i am going to see if it is easy to peel back the liner.

i was trying to help fix the garage and they didnt have a ladder and in a moment of intelligence i used the car to get up higher. i love getting a kick in the balls for trying to help.

i thought it was blow dry first and then spray the air duster? i dunno does it matter, i am tempted to call my buddy who is a mechanic but i hate to bother people.

Wet the surface and pull it out with a toilet bowl plunger. It works pretty good on certain dents. Otherwise just pull the headliner out and see if you can pound it out with a rubber mallet. But I'd try the plunger first.

this is what i am also going to try,

headliners are a bitch to get out, so i am hoping that is the last resort.
