Ordinary household suction cups can be used for small dents on car doors. Content expansion: 1. Using suction cups to repair dents utilizes the difference in atmospheric pressure inside and outside, adhering to the object. Small suction cups can be used to repair small dents on car doors by attaching them to the dented area. If the dent is larger, you can prepare several suction cups and evenly attach them to the center of the dented area. 2. You can use tools to pull outward with force, but finesse is required; otherwise, the dent might become a protrusion, achieving the opposite effect. 3. Additionally, if you are afraid of not doing it well yourself, you can go to a 4S shop or an external repair shop. These shops have a technique called dent repair technology, also known as light metalworking. However, dent repair technology is actually similar to doing it yourself, using suction cups to pull out the dented area, then inserting a hook behind the dented area to slowly push it out, and finally using a rubber hammer to treat the protruding parts.
Once I found a small dent on my car and quickly bought a set of specialized suction cup tools online—the kind with strong rubber suction cups and a pull rod. When choosing a suction cup, make sure the size matches the dent; avoid ones that are too large as they might not pull the dent out completely. Before use, clean the surface thoroughly to remove any grease, then attach the suction cup and gradually apply force to pull. Remember not to use excessive force to avoid tearing the paint. Beginners might not get perfect results on the first try, but with a few attempts, you’ll get the hang of the right amount of force. These tools cost just a few dozen bucks, saving you hundreds compared to professional repairs. Of course, they’re only suitable for small dents without paint damage—larger issues still require professional attention. I recommend buying reliable brands for better quality and regularly checking your car doors to minimize collision risks.
