How to Repair Dents Caused by Hail on a Car?

[LeSarah]

Methods to repair dents caused by hail on a car: The dents can be fixed through paintless dent repair (PDR) or traditional bodywork and repainting. If the dent is minor and there is no paint damage, PDR is a preferable option as it allows for the repair of the dent while preserving the original paint, with shorter repair times and relatively lower costs. Below are other solutions for repairing car surface dents: 1. Large dent area: If the dent area is relatively large, it is recommended that the owner take the car to a 4S shop for repair to avoid causing secondary damage to the vehicle. 2. 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, and when hot water is applied to heat the dented area, the material softens, allowing the dent to be pulled outward using suction tools for automatic restoration. However, this method does not work on iron or aluminum car materials, as metal materials are difficult to repair and require professional repair personnel to fix.
