I have not used it personally, but have heard from people that do. They do help, but not like you may think. There is still a small dent left. If you have a dent that you need fixed I would recommend someone that does paintless dent repair. Make sure that they are quite experienced at this sort of thing. I have seen it done and it is quite an artform.

I got the kit at Wal-Mart. Wouldn't do squat for the hail dents in my son's Toyota Supra. Took it back for a refund.

I used it to make a large dent into a much smaller, almost unnoticable dent...on a Ford Escort...would never even attempt it on the MINI. I'd say if you want the dent to be 100% gone, pay someone that knows what they are doing. It sucks, but what are you gonna do, right?
