Yes, if you do try it, please post results. Interesting technique. I have a small dent on my hood that I want gone, but I'm afraid to mess with it because it's in such a conspicuous place - don't want to make it worse.

This technique has been out there for years and it does work on shallow "oil can" dents ... those that will "pop back" with a little help by expanding with heat (hot air) and a rapid contraction from the super-cold aerosol can blast. But, if the metal is stretched a professional PDR repair is the best way to go! And most charge less than $100 a panel - tough to beat that price to remove door dings and such!
