Dry Ice to remove door dings..

[radiopilot]

Have any of you heard this before, I got 10 lbs of the dry ice a couple of weeks ago to remove the dings.. there's videos out there on the technique.. but it didn't work for me... supposedly the car must be in a very warm sunny position when you apply the dry ice...

We tried it several ways on the inside of the dent and outside but nothing... anybody?

I've never heard of this before, but I'm assuming the logic behind this is a dent stretches metal and the dry ice would shrink it back. If it would work, I doubt it would work on a ding. It would have to be on a larger dent where the metal was pushed in and not creased.
Where is your dent located? It sounds like both sides of the panel are accessible so it would be a good candidate for paintless dent removal. Find a reliable company with a tech that has a few years under his belt. It'll cost around $75 - $100 to remove the dent and if the paint hasn't been broken, you won't be able to tell where it was.
