not that I experienced.

it is not going to work on dents with kinks in the metal, or where the dent is so far dented that the paint cracked... but that should be common sense

I liked that very much. I had heard of such a fix, but it'* great to actually see it in action.

I'm anxious to see if that works on shallow hail dents. I have approx 20-30 in my truck.

Probably not as much being that hail dents are usually actually stretching the metal, this usually only works when the panel has just been deflected from shape. Its possible, but I highly doubt it will work.
