How to Deal with Small Dents on a Car?
2 Answers
For car surface dents without paint damage, use paintless dent repair technology to fix them. For body dents with paint damage, use bodywork and repainting for repair. Insert the glue stick into the glue gun and heat for 3 minutes, then apply it from the center to the edges on the suction cup. Use the residual heat to stick the suction cup onto the stress point of a larger dent, then pull the suction cup out with even force to restore the dent.
As an average car owner, I've found that dealing with minor car dents can be attempted with simple DIY methods. For instance, purchasing a few-dollar suction cup tool online and pressing it onto the dent before pulling can often pop it out—I successfully fixed a small dent from a falling branch this way. First, clean the surface with warm water to remove dirt, avoiding hard objects that might scratch the paint. If the suction doesn't work initially, don't force it; try adjusting the angle or employing the hot water method: pour some hot water over the dent and gently pull with the suction cup. This approach works well if the paint isn't cracked, saving a trip to the repair shop. However, for larger dents or cracked paint, professional help is necessary to prevent rust and body damage. Parking away from trees or congested areas can minimize minor collision risks. Promptly addressing small dents helps maintain a like-new appearance and enhances driving comfort.
