4 SIMPLE WAYS TO REMOVE SMALLER DENTS FROM YOUR CAR
There’s nothing more annoying than getting a dent on your newly purchased car. Even if you’re a careful driver, you can’t always avoid falling pine cones, wrongly parked cars or pebbles that hit your car when you’re on the road. Since getting a dent removed by a professional can be unbelievably expensive, many of us would never consider fixing them.
However, dents, especially small ones, are not worth losing sleep over. There are plenty of ways to remove them from your car by using common household items such as a plunger, vacuum cleaner or aluminum foil. Not all of the methods will work for you, so you should decide which one would be the best for your car.
Remove a dent with a hair dryer.
Locate and measure the dent. Find the following household items: rubber coated gloves, aluminum foil, a package of dry ice, a can of compressed air and a hair dryer. Heat the dent by using the hair dryer, which should be kept about 6 inches away from your car’s surface. Cover the dent by a piece of aluminum foil. Put on the rubber coated gloves to protect your hands from any injuries. Rub the dry ice over the aluminum foil covering the dent. You can also cool the dented area with the liquefied compressed air. The rapid change in temperature will make the dent pop out, which will probably happen after the first minute.
Use a plunger.
A plunger is a magic tool. Apart from unclogging toilets, it can also be used for a number of other purposes. If a dent is not too big, it can easily be removed with a plunger. All you have to do is pour some water over the plunger as well as the dent. Start pushing the plunger up and down. Repeat this a few times until the dent pops out.
Fix a dented bumper with boiling water.
This method works for dents on plastic bumpers as well as on parts of your car made of plastic. Boil a pot of water and pour it over the dented area on your bumper. Reach behind the bumper and pop the dent out.You might also need to take the bumper off if the dent can’t be reached. Finally, pour a pot of cold water onto the bumper to cool and fix the plastic area.
Use a vacuum cleaner and a bucket.
Make a small hole in the bottom of the bucket. Cover the dent by the upper part of the bucket. Put the vacuum cleaner tube over the hole on the bottom of the bucket, turn the vacuum cleaner on and wait until the dent pops out.
