Anyone use a PDR guy for dings...

I have about 6 dings and cart flaws on the HHR. The metal is so thin I think oit dents when someone sneezes in Cleavland....

IN any case I wonder if anyone has used PDR and what were the results. I tried the Dry ice thing to no avail...

Black is a great color for the HHR but it sure sucks when it comes to minor flaws.

Dealers fix cars all the time anymore this. I have seen major hail damage that completly vanished with this metheod. To no use it is foolish.

The Dry Ice thing works on only the right kind of dent. You really have to know what you are doing.

As for metal thickness that is just an industry standard. THey all are thin and the same gauge anymore. With 5 star crash ratings the metal is in the structure and they try to remove weight with thinner body panels.

I have a local guy here that is very good and have used him on several dings. Remember this typ of dent removal is only as good as the person doing it.

Had hail damage repaired on mine a couple of months ago. They did a great job.

No, but it will fade the crap out of it.

Funny part was, it was about 80* the day it hailed.... State Farm paid me about double what it cost to fix, even after I showed them the estimate. Good as new now.

Now both sit in the garage while at home.
