Pops-A-Dent (Does it work)?

I did a small dent on my X5, I know, I know, this is not a specific X5 issue, but being this community so experienced, I figured somebody may help.

So, does the Pops-A-Dent product work? Has anyone tried it?
http://www.asontv.com/automotive/pops-a-dent.html

The small dent is about 1-2 inches wide, and definitely not too deep. I am really concerned about the paint, since this product uses a "special" glue.

Any thoughts?

Never used it, but I'm guessing it works "OK". I'd bring my car to Dent Wizard before trying that thing though. At least those guys have a ton of experience with stuff like that... GL!

Those "do it yorself" kits are a waste. A real dent removal pro will do it right

I dont know about the kit. But I have removed a small dent.
you just need a glue gun. Fasten the "glue rod" in the middle of the dent and gently pull it out. The metall have some memory so it will try to get back to original state. but anything big, go pro as everybody says.

it will work as long as there isnt a kink in the dent other wise u will see the kink... like if its just pushed in it will take it out... but if the metal is too thin it will take it out further passed the others so be careful if u use it on economy cars..
