There are several methods to repair a car roof damaged by hail: 1. Bodywork and repainting: Use bodywork techniques to flatten the dents caused by hail, then apply putty and repaint the affected area. However, hail damage often covers a large area, and choosing bodywork and repainting means losing a significant portion of the original car paint. 2. Paintless dent repair (PDR): PDR utilizes principles of physics, optics, and mechanics to massage and push out dents from the inside of the car body using lever tools. This method gradually refines large dents until they blend seamlessly with the car paint. The same technique is applied to repair each hail dent individually.
