I dunno about this. Sounds a bit like the tale that was told a while back by someone on this list.

Seems the little blonde cheerleader from the University got caught in an afternoon thunderstorm and hail dimpled up her car pretty good. The guys down at the shop pretty well knew there wasn't much that could be done, but to have a little fun the chief mechanic told her to go home and blow really hard on the tail-pipe and the dimples would pop right out.

Well, she was down on her pretty little hands and knees puffing really hard on the tail pipe when her little blond room mate came out of the house and ask her what she thought she was doing puffing on that tail pipe. With black ring around her mouth, the girl looked at her roomy and said "The guys at the shop said this will pop out the dimples in my car caused by the hail!"

And the blonde girl roomy exclaims "DUH!!!!That doesn't work unless you roll the windows up!!!"

Wonder if ice would have helped??

I know, I know, it ain't FryDae yet but we are past hump day!! Almost!!
