Default Dent pullers....

just posting to see if anyone's found these to work, if not i'm wondering how much it costs to repair something like this...

it looks like a handle bar from a bicycle hit the fender on the murano, it's brand new, flawless and now it has a golf ball size dent in it, there's no scratch and it's not on a crease or anything, it could probably be pulled if there are such things as effective dent pullers, it's a perfect circular dent and it's not all that deep but when you're at the right angle it's a deff eye sore on an otherwise flawless vehicle.

just lookin to see if anyone has any experience with this situation.
please don't reply with "deal with it" or other bs it's a $32K car and seeing a dent on it sucks.

just try and get from behind of the dent and take a rubber mallet and gently tap it out

and if you do a dent remover you can get the suction kind...

not the crap ones you see on tv

they definitley don't work well on creases or dings put should fair agaist a round dent. the biggest thing is the placement of the puller and having to repeatedly do it. i got a guy out in st.pete that comes to u for like $65 a panel and does excellent work.

I used that "As Seen on TV" dent pullers to remove the dent from my car when I backed into the Walmart cart pusher. It worked perfectly.
