Default Hail!

Got ping pong ball sized hail last night, as soon as I saw it start, drove the Jeep under 2 large pines in the backyard. Today I noticed 1 fairly large ding in the hood. Do I pound it out, or leave it alone, so far the paint is intact, I'm afraid if I try to pound it out, the paint will go.

I've used a paintless dent removal company and it worked great.

+1 on this. I had to do the same thing with my second Jeep.

Another method is to sit it in the sun on a hot day, then put a large ice cube on the dent and push out from under, sometimes will pop back out while the metal contracts from the cold.

Good luck!

Default Paintless dent repair

You would never know where the dent was when they are done.

I've done Paintless dent repair as well. I've got a guy that will only charge $50 a panel to take all the dents out. You'll never know it was there!

Dry ice. Start around the outside and work to the middle of the dent. Should pop out.
