Removing minor dings with boiling water?
Was wondering if any of you have tried removing small dings with boiling water? Have heard this works well on other cars but wanted to make sure it wouldn't damage the paint if I attempted it.
If not, any other suggestions?
I have one minor ding, which nobody would probably notice, but I sure do!

I've heard of it but not seen it in action
Your issue is going to be does it work on steel, aluminium and GRP

The hot water is used to soften the paint so it doesn't crack as the dent is pushed out. A heat gun does the same thing. If the dent is on a metal panel you need to be careful it hasn't stretched too much. The paintless dent removal guys are the best bet and know what they are doing....it takes year of practice. I used them on all my Astons and you can't tell there was ever any damage.
