The glue is to give the plunger extra strength . A squirt of wd40, will get rid of the glue

It may be ok on some types of dents, but not all. If you have ever seen the dent repair guys at work, they have a large selection of tools, can't recall see any that involve gluing things to the panel in question though.

Body shops have a device that welds a stud into the dent to give them something to pull on. Obviously this involves paint repairs so not really suited to roadside repairs.

Just been today to 2 stores, and the one thing they did not have was this.

Surely the act of denting a car body stretches the metal, so just popping it back out, if that were possible, would result in the reverse, ie, a bulge. I can almost hear the sniggers, but I write as someone who once made a living repairing small dents on a car body production line. Larger ones needed specialist treatment, or even panel replacement. Our method was, in simple terms, to hold a sharp tool behind the dent, and hit the body on the outside with a slightly curved piece of spring steel, then file off the excess to smooth it down.
Genuine panel beaters are very skilled people, and a joy to watch. I know they can tease out dents etc, but it's by no means easy reshaping metal, and I wonder just how effective a cheap kit would be, especially in unskilled hands. If anyone does go for it, it would be a good idea to practice on something other than your pride and joy first!

good advise shown,i got a tiny sharp dent in the passenger door,thought a smart repair was out of the question,but no sure enough took it to someone who was recommended and stood back and watched in amazement at how quickly it was gone,it is a real skill if you want it perfect.
he only used a thin piece of aluminium, a plastic card and a little mirror.

But surely it's the same principle, stick a plunger to it and let it pull it out? It's just getting the glue off afterwards with WD40 I'm not sure about.
