It is easy to become a Do-It-Yourselfer nowadays you can search “how to remove a dent in your car” or simply “car dent hacks”. With video tutorials on YouTube and other various self-help websites and books finding out how to do something is easy. The same can be said for removing dents and dings from your car. After all, no one wants to drop their car off at an auto body shop for a week while they work on it and the cost. Oh, the cost, it is just not worth it.
Household items
There are all kinds of DIY methods that one can try. Household items like plungers or vacuum cleaners have been used. Boiling water can be used to smooth out a dent on a plastic bumper. Hair dryers or compressed air can work along the same lines by compressing the plastic and making it easy to pop it out. For those who would rather use cold, dry ice can be tried and for the arts and crafts crowd, hot glue, wooden pegs and small screws can be used to create knobs that will allow you to pop it.
Do you really want to glue something to your car though? TV infomercials are also full of all kinds of miracle ding and scrape fixers ranging from small tubes of miracle liquids to tools to try. They may work, they may not, but some will cost you and if they do not work or do not work completely you’re still back at square one.
Let the Pros fix it
When fixing a dent or ding experience matters since most of us have never fixed something like this. Most of us have never changed our car’s oil either so when we want that done we take it to a mechanic. Fixing a ding goes along the same lines. There are professionals, like at Dent-Techs, that are trained in the latest equipment and methods to remove those pesky imperfections from your vehicle’s body. While some of the DIY methods may work, we can offer one thing on top of what those so-called Life Hacks can: We WILL remove it.
