How do I remove dings from the hood of my car from acorns,someone said dry ice.THANKS

Don't know how to do it myself, but a paintless repair guy can probably fix it easily if the dents are accessible from underneath. They fixed a similar dent on our Volvo, and it came out perfect. Check with a paint shop or your insurance company, they probably know where to find one.

I second that!.....those paintless dent repair guys can work magic...WAY better to re-straighten this way that to repair and repaint....you'll think they used a magic wand!!!

(just speaking from personal experience, I'm not one of those guys.....but I wish I was!!)

Make sure you find an experienced Paintless Dent Repair guy.
There is always some johny come lately that claims to do PDR.
you dont want the repair to be worse than the original ding.

You know better. :.)

Hell Acorns are nothing I've got a couple black walnut trees in my drivre way. It's like dropping golf balls from 75 feet. You might check with the mid west TC members where they have frequent hail storms and what the new car dealers do.

And don't let them drill additional access holes to get at the dents.

I live in missouri, and last spring, (april 04) we were rocked by a bad hail storm, many cars totalled, my wifes included, and there were a bunch of fly by night dry ice slingers that came to town, bragging up their methods, and how it was life time guarantee, and clear coat safe, and all, well almost everyone I know who had their cars dry iced has major clear coat peeling problems, and funny enough, every phone# those guys left has been disconnected, or is no longer in service, hmmmm, funny isn't it! Anyway, just a warning here, DO NOT use dry ice on dings, it works for about a year, then your paint goes to hell! Pintless dent removal is definately the way to go!

Thanks for thr help,any ideas that I could try myself.
