Paintless Dent Removal
Hey all..
New to the site as you can tell by the post count. I've been reading up on corvetts and plan to buy my first after I sell my G35. I had a friend send me this video today and thought everyone should see it.
Apologies if this has already been posted, but man is this great info to have!!!

Good infor but this won't apply to the vette body material.

Looked to me like the dents were still there when done. I've tried this before (on cars other than Corvettes) and it has never worked for me. Even tried the old trick of spraying Freon directly on the dent.

My son works in the paintless dent repair business full time. They never do Vettes. In fact, when dents in regular cars are too big, they don't do those either. Too much hail is as bad as none to them!

I've tried a couple PDR kits on my previous car, one called the Ding King, and another I can't remember the name but it was basically the same process. Worthless and a waste of money IMO.
I found that no matter how cold or warm the body panel was, no matter what size disc I used, the dent refused to pop out. This was also a dent that was on a perfectly flat section of quarter panel. My guess is a pro could get it out but not the average DIY.
You shouldn't have any problems with dents in the Vette. That isn't to say the body panels can't crack because they can. Just look at all the rocker panel damage threads. But things like hail and the average shopping cart won't harm the car, well not a newer plastic bumpered shopping cart that is.
I've experienced both of those and my car came out unscathed.
