That $80 dent puller kit from Amazon ruined my customer's door
Bought this dent puller kit from a brand called Pops a Dent for 80 bucks. Tried it on a small crease on a Honda Civic and it left a bigger mess than I started with, spiderwebbing the clear coat. Now I'm eating the cost of a repaint and a new door skin. Anyone else get burned by those glue pull kits or am I just the sucker who fell for the hype?

Used to think those glue pull kits were a safe bet for small dings, but this seals it for me. Totally not worth the risk on anything with decent paint.

Man that "safe bet for small dings" part really hits home because I fell for the exact same thing. I tried one of those kits on a fender that had a tiny door ding, nothing crazy, and it ripped a chunk of paint clean off. Now I gotta get the whole panel resprayed and it's costing way more than just leaving the dent alone. These glue pull kits are basically a scam for anyone who doesn't have a beater car they don't care about. I should've just paid a pro from the start instead of trying to save a few bucks.

@jessica921 oh yeah, I learned that lesson the hard way too. Tried one on my old Civic's hood and ended up with a dent AND a paint peel, which is like paying extra for a worse result.
