Here in Maryland there is a similar company called DentWorks.  I had
my a dent (no paint damage) removed back in August.  The area is almost
like new.  The problem with my car (hit & run, which i won't get into)
was that the damage was actually a crease that extended into one of the
angled contors of the body.  Otherwise the dent removal would have been
completely eliminated.  I've seen cars with dings (not unlike those caused
by hail) where it is impossible to detect where the damage was done.

Not me!  I have a car cover that i use, when hail is likely.
