Ok I will do it...tomorrow will be d-day..am not doing it on the Crossfire since that car is perfectly good shape and unfortunately I am still trying to sell it...so the Z is the culprit.

Well I tried it this morning on the Z and it didn't work. The dent is still there...not sure if it is something I am doing or what?? Repeated the steps a couple of times but no "popping" at all and the dent is very much still there. Not sure what to do except take it to Dent Wizard or something.

I hope it didn't have any effect on the clear coat finish?

I know what you mean FP but the car looks fine after I wiped off the extra residue. Will make sure I touch up that area with some detailer and wax. Then it is off to Dent Wizard in Toledo sometime to get the thing fixed for good.

I swear by Dent Wizards. I'm gonna try the technique on my wife's Volvo this weekend. If it works good for me bad for DW! By the way I have developed a new, much prettier door ding preventer. I'll post some pics over the weekend.
It attaches with one hand in seconds, will not scratch the finish and stayed on the car in 50 to 60 mph wind gusts we had here on Monday.

Same here nota... the dent is still there and I also repeated the steps 3 times. I'm thinking this is more for really big dents as your expanding and contracting the area in rapid succession and the more area that's damaged the greater the effect.

Patpur...what procedure does Dent Wizard use to remove dents? You can tell I know nothing about them except by word of mouth.

04Fire...yes it is very frustrating isn't it? You wait and wait and the dent is still there. As you said I think this process is better for larger and I think "flatter" dents. Mine is in the curved section of the front fender where there is a seam and probably because of the angle of the dent it can't bring it back to normal??? Oh well we tried.
