What to Do When the Car Gets Scratched and Dented?

[LaMia]

Vehicle exteriors are made of a combination of sheet metal and plastic. Plastic softens when heated, so in principle, dented areas can be pushed out by heating them. Set the hairdryer to the hot air setting and direct the airflow at the dented part of the car. Immediately after using the hairdryer, cover the dented area with prepared aluminum foil. The dented plastic needs to be heated to a certain degree to soften and achieve the desired effect. Once the plastic is heated sufficiently, push it outward from the hood above with your hand until the dented area pops out and returns to its original shape.
