I just saw this commercial for the Ding King Dent Remover

and fortunately there is also a website


Ding King History — Ding King was originally designed for dent technicians to remove dents in difficult to reach areas. It soon became "The Bodyshop's Secret Tool". Now, lucky for you, the secret is out! Now, you can remove small dents & dings from any car in a matter of minutes.

The Ding King Do It Yourself Dent Repair Kit sells for $29.95. Each repair kit includes:
1-Pulling Bridge
1-Hot Glue Gun
2-Dent Pulling Tabs
1-1 Oz. Glue Remover
3-Sticks of OEM Safe Glue
1-Turning ****

Re: ding king dent remover

I think you will be very disappointed and may do MORE harm than good to your car.

I saw that commercial...it was the same guy who used to do OxiClean.
I ordered some magic scratch remover from a TV commercial one time and it was a ripoff even at the $6.00 price, so I'm not buying anything else on TV again until there is real world proof that it works...so someone let us know!

Well, my $16.15 is gone..

What can I say? I'm a sucker for a good coupon..

Now hopefully I won't have to badger my friend into becoming buddies with the PDR guy where he works.

If it works let me know. A body shop wants a couple hundred dollars to fix a dent in my door, if this works I will save a lot.
Thanks,

fortunately they do offer a refund of the purchase price (within 10 days) if you are not happy with it

and because of the coupon I only have to wait for a refund of 9.95 intead of 29.95....so if i don't like what it does, i'm only out 6.10

but considering some of the expensive mods some of ya'll (Kloogy,& asu174 ...not to name any names of course)that you didn't like and redid or took off I think i am coming out ahead


I plan to test the adhesive that acts like glue on a small spot on the car to see if I can wipe it off with the remover that comes with the kit....and make sure no paint rubs off with it

I am usually able to turn the channel whenever I see those dang commercials...i've been trying to talk myself out of the roll-a-hose for 3 weeks now ( i live in an apartment and cant even use a friggin hose...but its soooooo neat!!)


damm those infomercials

The thing that inspires some confidence in this product (for me) is that a "glue puller" is one of the tools that professional paintless dent repair techs sometimes use. Granted, their "puller" is probably of better quality and a little more sophisticated, but they do use them sometimes. THe only thing, is that a couple PDR guys that I have heard (on forums) say that glue pullers tend to be their last resort. Most seem to prefer a method (which I've forgotten) where they work at the dent from the underside.

In any case, I'm hopeful, but thinking of trying it on my sister's car first
