First, clean the dented area thoroughly, load the special glue into the glue gun, and plug it in to preheat for about 7 minutes. Then, evenly apply the melted glue from the glue gun onto the shim, quickly attach it to the dented area, and gently press until the special glue sets before releasing.

Seeing your sedan dented? Don’t panic—I often handle small dents myself. A dent repair suction tool costs just a few dozen bucks, and there are plenty of online tutorials. Align it over the dent, pull a few times, and most dents pop right out. For plastic bumper dents, heating them with a hairdryer and gently pushing them back works well too. Remember: first assess the damage—if the paint’s intact, a simple DIY fix will do. If the metal’s severely bent or cracked, head to a pro shop. After repairs, check lights, doors, and windows to ensure they function properly—safety first! These tricks save money and hassle, and best of all, no time wasted at the repair shop.

After a vehicle dent, safety is the top priority. I recommend calmly assessing the damage first. The impact may cause hidden structural issues, such as frame deformation affecting driving stability or even brake system failure. Immediately check if the doors open and close smoothly and if the wheel alignment is off. If anything seems abnormal, contact a professional repair shop right away. Avoid attempting DIY repairs to prevent damage to internal components. Also, inspect the paint for scratches, as rust prevention is crucial. If the accident involves another party, remember to take photos and report to insurance. Safety is no small matter; it's better to spend extra to ensure everything is secure.

Dealing with a dented sedan requires considering cost-effectiveness. Based on my own experience, small dents can be fixed with a DIY tool kit costing just tens of yuan; for larger dents, professional repair shops charge anywhere from a few hundred to over a thousand. Weigh the costs and time: minor damage might be negligible, but if the paint is damaged, repainting is necessary to prevent rust. Don't forget to report to insurance if you have collision coverage—take photos as evidence and file a claim. By comprehensively assessing the damage level and choosing an economical solution, you can save a significant amount of money.

It's heartbreaking to see your car dented, and I always want to take good care of it. When dealing with it, start by cleaning the surface stains and assessing the size of the dent. For small dents, use some repair adhesive to protect the paint from oxidation; for severe cases, find a reputable auto body shop for panel beating and painting to ensure it's restored to its original condition. Treat your car like a partner—regular waxing and maintenance after repairs can extend its lifespan. Avoiding secondary damage is crucial, such as choosing a safe parking spot. Putting some thought into the repair process ensures a safe and comfortable drive later on.
