Learn How to Fix Your Car Dents By Yourself

No matter how hard you try to keep your car’s exterior free from damages, unavoidable incidents are likely to happen that will cause dents on your auto. They could be caused by minor auto or parking lot accidents, hailstorms, falling tree branches, or road debris. You can get them anywhere, and you probably won’t even know what caused those dents.

While you may ignore one or two dents, seeing multiple dimples on your car’s exterior can be annoying. They can affect your auto’s appeal and even lower its resale value.

Fortunately, you don’t need to bring your car to an auto repair shop to get minor dents fixed. Repairing them is something that almost anyone can do at home. You won’t need any special equipment or know-how to get rid of those dents. Why spend loads of money to fix those small dings when you can do it on your own in a matter of minutes?

Here are five do-it-yourself repair solutions that can take fix your minor dent problems once and for all:

1. Use a plunger.

Put the head of the plunger on the affected area and try to pop the dent out. Note that it might take you multiple tries to get this right and to get it level with the rest of the panel.

2. Hammer the dents back in place.

This is best used for small dents that you can easily get to the back area without having to remove any parts. Just make sure you don’t go overboard with the force you apply when striking with the hammer.

3. Try boiling water.

To fix front or rear bumper dents, pour boiling water over the area to heat it and make it malleable enough. Once that’s done, reach behind the bumper where the dent is and pop it out by hand.

4. Do this dry ice trick.

Remember to wear protective gloves when doing this hack. Rub a piece of dry ice around the section with the dent. Hold it down on the part with the most depression for a few minutes. It should pop back into place after you’re done.

5. Use compressed air and a hairdryer.

Set a hairdryer to its highest level and heat the area where the dent is located. Turn a can of compressed air upside down and begin spraying the same area. The cold air will cause the heated plastic to contract and pop the dent out.
