One of the most annoying and frustrating things is returning to your car to find a dent. Sadly some drivers will just drive off and claim not to have noticed! Even if drivers leave their details there can be a lot of frustration dealing with body shops and insurers.

There are a number of mobile dent removal specialists who will use tools from the back of the panel to push out the dent. Alternatively you could use a dent puller which is a M shaped device with a screw handle. You glue the central stem to the dent using a specialist heat glue. When it is set you undo the screw and the dent will pop out. You then use a glue remover and just polish off the panel.

Paintless dent removal is much much cheaper than using a bodyshop and should be your first port of call if you have a minor panel dent.

Another method of dent removal involved the use of a hot air gun or hair drier. Heat up the panel as much as possible and then spray on CO2. This will freeze the panel and the sudden temperature change will often cause the panel to flex back into shape. This will not damage the paint and will either work well or not at all so you will not risk damaging the panel. A fire extinguisher, or an inverted camera air spray cleaner, can which contains CO2 can be used. DO NOT TOUCH THE liquid CO2 or Nozzle of the sprayer.
