Default Minor Accident

Hey today i was in a minor accident, and there is a little indentation right near the right passager side tire of my A4, it is just a small bump in the sideing and its catching the passanger side door so it rubs a little as its opened. I was wondering if there was any way just to push it back out the other way? I had thought i heard a commerical about a product that did that but i don't really remember much about it. I know i'll need to get the pain re-done because there is a little chip in the pain.

ouch, that's a pretty big minor accident nasty...the product that you're talking about from tv is probably the suction cup tool.....three suction cups on a brace stick to the car, then you screw the center cup out (the center cup is threaded into the brace bar) until it "pops" the dent out....that dent is probably too big for that tool though...i think kragen or autozone carry those tools as well, you could probably buy it, use it, and return it without even leaving the store...

alot of the marks you see there arn't really paint. they're just water spots. but do you think it could be dangerous to use that tool...couldn't it break or crack the dent im trying to take out?

I would honestly take it to a shop, you will be looking at the for the whole time you own your car, and it will always stand out.
