Paintless dent removal people have been doing this for ages. Only works on light dents on flat areas or minor body lines though. A creased dent like on a hard body line is far more difficult.

Explanation anyone...?

I'd be interested also. My base guess is that it has something to do with the metal rapidly going from the heat of the hairdryer to cold from the compressed air -- those cans get frigid if you release a large volume from them. I could be way off though.

Hot to cold contraction is my guess.

Best reaction, ever!

The combination of the heat of the hair dryer (first) with the extreme cold of the compressed air (second & turned upside down) causes the dent to expand and contract quickly enough that it pops back to its original shape.

Payback is correct, only works on light metal of a flat surface.

Step by step process...
Basic vid, heaps out there to chose from.

The heat from the hairdryer lulls the trunk gremlins into a false sense of security and they become comfortable and drowsy. They are, however, terrified of cats and when they hear the hissing of the compressed air, they mistake it for a pack of angry cats due to their decreased awareness. Enraged, they begin kicking violently in a frenzy outward on the dent, which pops back out.

If you listen closely you can hear the exultant gremlins celebrating after their supposed victory over the cats. One of them seems to be laughing in joy and remarks "YEA!" at his new-found superiority over the felines.

Wow I'm going to try this on my skull !!

Cool, although due to the cost of those cans of air it's cheaper to take to a body shop for a full panel replacement and custom paint job.

never buy canned air again

unless you have a dent to pop out

Bullshit. No such thing as trunk gremlins. Nothing lives in a car's trunk...

Jesus. Jesus had something to do with it.
