I now have some small hail dents in my engine hood. :???:

Anyone know of a good way to get rid of them?

Have you actually used it? I'm a little skeptical

best bet is to take it to a body shop. u will prob want to get a new hood unless the dents can be "beat" out. otherwise ud prob have to fill all the dents with bodyfiller and then get the hood repainted. I'd talk to a shop and ur insurnace company.

Ok, unless the dents are from hail the size of baseballs, the dent king ain't gonna do it for ya.

Look in your yellow pages for a "paintless dent removal" (PDA) place. They drive out to your car and massage out the dent from, in your case, under the hood. Well worth having them take a look at it prior to seeing a MUCH more expensive bodyshop. PDA usually costs about $60-90 per panel (or about 3-4 dents if close together).
