DIY Dent removal

[PaulsM3]

Hi p'headers
I've got an old Golf that I use for work and thought it could be a good thing to practice DIY dent removal on as its got plenty of parking dings on it from careless door openers.
That way I can get good at using the tools and get a couple out on my nicer cars.

Where to start though? Some research on PH is probably a good place
I wondered if people could:
a) Recommend a good DIY kit- the heat, glue, pull method seems popular on these types of ding
b) Any experience of trying to do DIY dent removal- tips or pitfalls

Thanks all.

That's what I'm trying to avoid- getting in behind the panel is a lot of effort and doesn't appear to be necessary with some of the methods available. All the dings are just your standard door opened in a panel ding. Thumbnail sized, perfectly round no paint damage.

Thanks for that, sounds like you've done it before

I think everything you've said so far is a good advert for giving the dent man thirty quid!
I had one done on my M3 last year (only one it had, after one visit to work on a Friday, when the car park was empty- tts) but didn't watch the guy do it as I was chatting to my mate at the dealership. Was done in 10mins so I thought it might be an easy case of popping it out with the glue method. Sounds a lot more involved though. Might just get a few £30's out instead.

I was thinking the old Golf would be a good practice machine but maybe not now
I'm in Cambridge- need to get a monthly meet going around here, the Sunday Services seem to have died a death this summer.
