How to Fix Car Dents?
2 Answers
Solutions for car surface dents are as follows: Paintless Dent Repair: If the original car paint is not damaged, paintless dent repair technology can be used to fix the dent without repainting. Large Dent Area: If the dent area is relatively large, it is recommended that the owner go to a 4S shop for repair to avoid causing secondary damage to the car. Hot Water Repair: If the dent on the car surface is small, hot water can be used for repair. Some car models use softer materials. When hot water is applied to heat the dented area, the material will soften, and an adsorption tool can be used to pull the dent outward, allowing it to automatically recover. However, this method does not work on iron or aluminum car materials. Metal materials are difficult to repair and require professional repair personnel to fix.
My car got a small dent from a door hit last time, and I was quite panicked at first, thinking of buying a repair kit to try fixing it myself. I ended up buying a suction cup dent puller and followed the video tutorial, but not only did it not work, it made the dent more obvious. Later, I learned that small dents are easier to handle but the technique is crucial. Helplessly, I drove to the professional repair section of the 4S shop, where the technician used special tools to gently push it back into shape—great results in just an hour. Since then, I've learned my lesson: don't mess with dents, especially in areas where the car's protective layer is thin. Timely repairs can prevent rust from spreading and save both money and hassle. For beginners, it's advisable to first assess the depth of the dent; if the surface is smooth and the paint isn't damaged, you might try DIY tools. Otherwise, head to a professional shop promptly to avoid greater losses. After all, a car is like a second home—taking good care of it is always the right move.
