small dings

I noticed a tiny dent on top of my rolla. did some research on the internet. hairdryer and dry ice seem only work for medium sized dents. Don't think it's neccessary to go to a dent specialist. Do $30 dent removal kits on the internet actually works??? Any suggestions on how to deal with small dings are appreciated.

If you want the dent removed properly, see a dent specialist. Yeah it might cost $150 - but you won't be able to see the dent anymore...

Try it out for yourself, if it doesn't work, at least it only cost $30.

I would get an estimate for filling the dent and painting the roof in case the dent removal kit screws up the paint. Then you can see if the cost of having the dent professionally removed (paintless) is worth the money.
