Default Dry Ice dent removal?

Sure you have all seen it on youtube, heat the panel up with a hair dryer then spray combressed air onto it to pop the dent.

Does it really work or are you at risk of capunkt paint or a soft panel?

Plus what is the cans of stuff they use??

surely compressed air won't work, you need something that will change state and therefore take the energy out of the metal more rapidly?
