Hope this is right section but it is car care tbh...
Seen that you can remove dents using a hairdryer and some sort of CO2 spray?
Does it really work and what spray is used or could use?
Cheers

yeah it does work aslong as the metal hasnt streatched. the heat relaxes the metal making it expand then the co2 spray that is around minus 5 degrees shocks the metal making it contract and shrink fast keeping the shape.

Hair dryer and dry ice has worked for me in the past. Have a search on youtube.

Maplins freezer spray... £5.99, lowers surface temperature to -50

should do the trick right?

the one we use at work only takes it to about -5 you can actually burn the paint if u go too cold too fast it makes little blisters under the paint so watch how you use it try a company called brown brothers on google they sell the freeze spray that is actually made for the job.

the spray we use at work is called standox sub zero but the paint rep told me today its trade only so u will have to go to a paint factors for it unless some one is selling it on e-bay. as said before once heated up the panel be careful not to get it too cold to fast as blisters can form and the only way to fix them is to re paint. and this method only fixes dents if the metal has not been streached sorry for any spelling mistakes its late and been a long day.
