Hi there.
Anyone knows how to remove the "pressed small parts of the bodywork? I dont know the right word for this one so I will give an example.
If you press the body/metal of the car you will create an "insert" like it is pressed inside like a circle. I dont know if you can understand me on this one.
If you have, I would like to know if there is any equipment that "sucks" this "pressed circle" from the metal.
SORRY AGAIN FOR THIS ONE BUT I DONT KNOW HOW TO DESCRIBE THAT PARTICULAR SUBJECT.

Larger ones are called dents, small ones, typically caused by car doors and other small things are called dings. One method, and I've only heard about this, never tried, was to take some dry ice wrapped up a bit and apply it to the metal centered on the ding. Supposedly the colder metal should contract and pop out some dings. I dunno if this works, but dry ice is cheap. Just to define dry ice for our Greek speaker, Dry Ice is the solid form of carbon dioxide. Not sure if you'd know that, but your English is a d**n sight better than my Greek.

Ha ha. Thanks for that. I know dry ice. So it could work in theory but am concerned about the colour.
I know that there is a device in the market that "sucks" that ding/dent.

There are kits sold on-line that would do such repairs. Do a web search for "dent removal", "dent remover", or "dent puller". These are sometimes also called "paintless dent repair" because it does not require re-painting the metal. Good luck.

Dent pullers are usually better for dents larger than the size of a large coin. Anything smaller will require metal work from behind usually (maybe dry ice. I never tried that). The pullers work ok if you need to save some money and don't want to take it to a shop.
