That's pretty cool. First time I've seen it. Kind of guess it has to do with heat making metal expand and liquid nitrogen from the can making it quickly contract, and flinging it back into shape.

Rapid cooling of the metal makes it contract thus popping out.

Its not liquid nitrogen, that would do more damage than good. Its just compressed air in a can

My guess is the big dents first. Doubt this method works well on the small "dings".
