How to Fix Minor Dents on Car Surface?
1 Answers
It is recommended to take your car to a professional auto repair shop for minor surface dents to avoid causing secondary damage. While dents may appear easy to repair, there are significant limitations. If the paint is damaged, the dent cannot be repaired. Additionally, dents located near wheel arches, edges, or A/B pillars are also difficult to fix. Small dents on the car body can be addressed using traditional metalworking repair methods or a dent repair tool: Metalworking Repair: Generally, although metalworking repair is more expensive and requires highly skilled technicians, it yields the best results. Metalworking repair involves restoring the deformed parts of the car's metal shell. For example, if the car body has a dent, metalworking can restore it to its original shape, followed by applying specialized paint to make the repaired metal surface as smooth and shiny as the undamaged areas. Dent Repair Tool: This method uses tools like a hot glue gun and a bridge-style suction puller. The suction cup adheres to the car body, and the dent is pulled out using tension. The operation is simple and can be done by yourself. Additionally, some car models have softer body materials. When heated with hot water on small dented areas, the material softens, allowing the dent to be pulled out directly with a suction tool. However, this method does not work on iron or aluminum car materials, and professional repair services should be sought in such cases.
