So here's the run down.Will (Willard aka Dr Dent) came to my house this afternoon in his EVO Makinen special regn: WLL 1*1* complete with orange on white paintwork and great big dr dent plastered on the side. Saw the compressor in the back seat.I had 2 dents. One was a smooth shallow dent on the passenger front door about 1" and midway down the waist line. Quite obvious because of its location - a dent in the middle of a swathe of fairly flat area. This was defintely caused by some other car openning their door.The second on the left front fender, right above the left front wheel center line, appox 1 in from the top. This one a little more sharp but shallow about 0.5" and had a scratch. Again the location makes it very apparent. This was most probably caused by some other sharp objects becaue of the scratch.His technique is to apply direct physical pressure from the reverse side and slowly press out the dent from the back. First was to get access to the back side of the dent, second was to use a light to locate the pressure point and to see the dent more clearly. The pressure is applied using several tools in the form of levers. Some protective plates are used to ensure that during the leverage, no other parts are damaged. If he has pressed too much, he uses a plastic dolly to lightly tap the surface back.For the dent on the door, the access is through the windscreen apperture and he uses a lever to apply the pressure from the inside of the door panel. Slowly working the dent out from inside.For the dent on the front fender, is a little bit more difficult because it is too close to a corner and its double curvature. For this he used a mild steel bar 18"x3"x3/8" and access was gotten between the fender plastic guard. he had to bend the bar so that the tip will apply the pressure point directly on the area.Result:Total time - 45 Minutes.1st dent on door - almost completely gone. Wont find it of you dont know the original location.2nd dent - 90% removed, slight trace but not as apparent as before.A little cut and polish and done.No painting or filling. Original paintwork intact.Damage - RM120.ConclusionReally nice guy. Very satisfied. Will use him again and recommend to friends. He makes it so easy, such that I keep asking nmyself - "Now why didnt I think of that". Never thought that the body work is so soft. But on second thought, let leave it to the trained.As per forum rules, I will not publish his number. Anyone wants it, PM me.
