Small dents often spoil the life of motorists: the look of the car, of course, suffers, but I don't really want to give money to the service for repairs, because the car is already driving. However, some dents can be dealt with without painting and local repair at a service station with a few simple tricks.
Necessary
- - hairdryer
- - a can of compressed air
- or
- - soccer / basketball ball with camera
- - Bicycle Pump
Instructions
Step 1
Determine the type of dent. The methods we are going to present only work if the dent has no sharp edges (ribs) or is not located on a part of the body part through which the stiffener passes. So, if your dent is a small, gentle crater with no sharp edges on the edges, one of our two ways to remove dents will work for you.
Step 2
Use a ball and a pump. With the help of these things, you can easily remove dents from those body parts that do not have inner lining and which can be accessed from the side of the car frame, for example, on the fenders.
The principle is simple: between the dent and the frame, you place a deflated ball and then start pumping it up a little. As it fills with air, the ball will gently pop out the dent and your wing will be as good as new. To retrieve the ball after you've removed the dent, blow out the air again.
Step 3
Remove the dent with a hair dryer and compressed air. This is another easy way to remove dents without painting if you can't remove them with a ball and pump. First, use a hair dryer to thoroughly heat the surface of the dent, it will take you about a minute. Then turn the can of compressed air upside down and spray the contents onto the desired area. This method works due to the temperature difference: at first, the metal expands slightly under the influence of heat, and then contracts sharply, trying to bend and take the shape that the manufacturer gave it at the factory.
