How to Remove a Dent From a Vehicle

Repairing a car dent can be costly, depending on the make and model of the car, the age of the car and the level of damage. Knowing how to fix this problem yourself empowers you to save time and money.

Instructions

1

Inspect the dent and the surrounding area. Mark the central area of the dent, which is the deepest point of the indentation. The central area is located in the center of the upper and lower portion of the undented area.

2

Mix detergent in a container of water. Once the detergent has been mixed properly, immerse the sponge. Leave the sponge in for about 20 seconds, then rub it over the dented area as thoroughly as possible.

3

Rinse the dented area with water, and completely remove the applied detergent. Once you have rinsed the area thoroughly, apply the sponge, and remove any remaining signs of detergent. All grime or dirt must be removed from the dented area.

4

Immerse the bottom portion of the dent-puller suction cup in water. Once it is wet, apply it to the middle of the central area, which you previously marked.

5

Turn on the heat gun, and set the temperature to high. Apply the gun to the edges of the dented area. Do this thoroughly for about 45-60 seconds, until you have covered the entire outer region of the indentation. Immediately after removing the gun, use the dent puller to yank out the dent, and bring the metallic portion back to its normal state.
