Tips On Getting Rid Of A Bumper Dent

While it might seem like a tedious job, fixing the dents yourself if the damage is less is definitely worth your time and effort, ensure that you have prepared well before you start working on your car. We list out a few ways by which you can remove the dents easily. Let's dive in! 

Boiled Water

If your car has a plastic bumper or any other part made out of plastic, pouring boiled water on the affected part will immediately fix it. You need to push the part from behind once you pour boiling water on it. Once you are done, you can pour cold water to get the affected part in a normal state and cool the spot. 

Creating Suction

If you cannot reach the area where there is a bump, or even if the part is not made out of plastic, then you can create your own suction to fix the dent. Use a bucket or a pot and a vacuum cleaner to create suction and ensure that you have a hole in the bottom of the pot or bucket. Subsequently, attach the pot or bucket to the part that has the dent with tape. Once you create the suction from the vacuum cleaner, the dent will be easily fixed. 

Plunger

A plunger is not only good to fix clogged toilets but is also suitable for fixing dents in your car. The only thing you need to do is apply some water to the dent and, using a plunger apply pressure until the dent straightens out. It shouldn't take a lot of time if the dent is not deep. 

Use Dry Ice, Hair Dryer, and a Tin Foil

If the dent is not on a plastic body but on a metal part, there is another magical way to remove it. Get tinfoil that is bigger than the dented area once you are done heating it (with a blow dryer). Cover the surface with tinfoil and apply a handful of ice to the foil-covered surface. Wear a pair of gloves while working with it, and you'll find that the dent pops right out.

A Hair Dryer

A hairdryer has more utility than you might have thought. You can blow-dry the dented part of your plastic bumper for three minutes continuously and ensure to sweep the whole area. Wear gloves while pushing the dent out from inside, and voila! The dent is gone. 

Conclusion

We bet you didn't know that you could fix your car's dent through various things available at home. While it is not traditionally what people do, it is still very effective and saves a lot of time and money.
