Here in tornado alley we get monster hailstorms. Within 20 miles of any
point out here there will be golfball and even baseball sized hail every
spring or fall. I've lived in my 100 year old house now for 22 years and
have put 5 new roofs on it.
Anyway, you can guess what hail that size does to automobiles!! Needless to
say there is no massaging out hail dents from baseball and larger hail
stones... ;-)
For smaller hail though, everyone around these parts knows what to do...
Wait for a day where the temperature is over 100F... Get some dry
ice... hold a hunk of dry ice on the dent and watch it disappear without
damage to the paint! Paintless Hail Removal outfits get big bucks and
mainly this is exactly what they do for most hail dents! Works great for me
- if the dents are relatively small in size and number, I collect the
insurnace money and then "Do It Myself"... ;-)
Cheers!!
