so, i have about four MAJOR freaking dents in my rear quarter panels. i dont wanna repaint the whole thing, so im looking into paintless dent removal (my car isn't worth a new paint job, even its just the just rear quarters). how exactly do they do it? do they do it from the inside or from the outside? i really dont wanna have to remove the rear inside panels..... thx ppl.

depends on the dent. If its on a spot where there is no supports behind it then they can do it outside. If there is a brace behind the metal they have to do it form teh inside. I know they use a tool and hit the dent and it pops back out. Seene it done a few tiems and its amazing how they do it. But as I said depends on the dent and location.

don't get one of those ding king things they don't work and it leaves the glue on your car i tryed it and it is not worth it because know i have marks all over my car from where i tryed to pull the dent and when i tryed to get the glue off

For best results remove any interior panel that is in the way.
I just had some work PDR done. On some dings where there was no access to the back of it, he applied some special hot glue, put a special suction cup on it, waited, and used a slide hammer to try to pull the dent out. I have never seen this technique before. Actually worked well.
The best results were from the common PDR rod tools and access from the back of the dings.
As for major dents, it pry depends on the PDR person, and if there are any body lines through it.

I had a nice sized dent on my front fender from a shopping cart. A guy i know was able to almost completly remove it from the inside with some sort of special hammer like tool. At certain angles all you can see is a couple tiny ripples.
if theres no structural supports behind it, theyll use a dolly and body hammer(let them do it....there are different kinds.....). if the spot is on a body support they may "persuade" it with a rubber mallet from the inside. theres also the dent popper(the industrial strength of whats sold on tv), but it only works on depression dents, it cant have a crease to it
