When there is a small dent in the car, it needs to be repaired promptly. Here are specific methods for repair: 1. Use the most direct and traditional method by utilizing thermal expansion and contraction—simply pour hot water on the dented area of the car body: Heat the dented part of the car, then push it out bit by bit with your hand or a pry bar to achieve the repair effect. Note that the water must be sufficiently hot; otherwise, it won’t work. 2. Utilize thermal expansion and contraction by choosing a hair dryer for heating: The hair dryer provides higher heating efficiency. Then, with two people cooperating—one heating while the other presses—the repair time can be shortened. If the car dent is relatively large, you can appropriately increase the number of hair dryers and the temperature to enhance heat transfer, followed by pressing from the inside to help restore the dented area.
