Default RE: dent on front tin

Keep a couple clean blankets real handy to grab when you do bike work. Drape your tank and fenders with them anytime you do what might appear to be even the easiest tasks.

(I have to keep blankets and towels nearby, because I wouldn't go out of my way to get them, too lazy)

Yeah, those guys are amazing! I had a Grand Am back in 2000 that had an unfortunate incident with a deer (unfortunate for her, mostly) on a trip to Oregon, and the insurance company sent out one of those guys to do the repair. As the paint wasn't damaged, he was able to work on the rear quarter panelfrom inside the trunk and get the dent completely out, never to return.

Don't have a clue whether it works or not ..appears to work on small compression type dents without creasing.

Well i'll be d@%&d. I tried compressed air on my fender today and it almost pulled dent out completely. Going to try to heat fender better tomorrow and try the dry ice.Either way,it looks much better and once i put the chrome spear on it you won't be able to tell it was dented.
