How to Repair Small Dents Caused by Stones on a Car?

Before starting the repair, clean the damaged area and its surroundings thoroughly to ensure there is no grease or dust. You can use a marker to make a small mark on the inside of the glass. Attach the glue head to the double-sided tape, making sure the opening faces upward to prevent the glue from leaking. Apply 3 to 5 drops of glue, enough to completely cover the damaged area and the surrounding region. Screw the specially shaped syringe onto the glue head, then pull it to the very top and hold it for 20 minutes. This step is mainly to ensure the glue bonds more tightly. Apply pressure treatment to reshape and repair the damaged area.
I often fix small dents on my car by myself using simple and inexpensive tools, such as dent repair kits bought online. The steps are: first, clean the dent surface with a clean cloth, then use a heat gun or hair dryer to gently heat the area from a distance for about ten seconds to soften the paint—be careful not to overheat it. Next, attach a suction cup or adhesive and slowly pull the dent out, using a gentle touch to avoid damaging the paint. I’ve fixed small dents on the hood before, and it took a few tries to get it right—patience is key. The results are decent; the dents aren’t very noticeable, and it saves money. Safety tips: wear gloves to avoid burns, and DIY is best for small dents without cracked paint. If the paint is damaged, go to a professional shop to prevent rust issues. The tools cost just a few dozen bucks, and with practice, you’ll get the hang of it quickly.
