[QUOTE="inactive, post: 3355795, member: 7488"] The aluminum used in autos is actually fairly thick, so it's actually harder to dent than the steel with the same size hail. But aluminum has less elasticity and memory than auto steel (not HSS), and is more difficult to get back into place. Just ask about anyone who works on 'em with PDR (being in auto claims, this is a regular deal for me). It's not impossible ([URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtCRcy9jldo']see this dude for example[/URL]) but it definitively takes [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNEyKEF5dOs']more massaging, heat, time and precision for the PDR technician to get it done[/URL].
