Got a Dent? Easily Remove It With These Tips

Keep Your Car Looking Pristine With Professional Paintless Dent Repair

How to Remove Large Car Dents Like a Pro

Did you know that cars with pristine paint jobs have higher resale values than scratched and scraped vehicles? Whether you take pride in how your vehicle looks or want to get more bang for your buck, it’s important to keep your car looking its best. However, unsightly dents can be dreadful to your car’s overall appearance.

Here are some tips on removing large dents from the paintless dent repair professionals at Scottsbluff Body and Paint in Scottsbluff, Nebraska.

Determine What Dents You Can Remove

The first step to removing dents yourself is determining which ones you can fix with a suction dent puller and a screw-in dent puller. Large dents in flatter areas of your vehicle, such as the hood, can be fixed with a suction dent puller. The screw-in dent puller should be used on dents in concave body areas.

Remove Dents

After you’ve determined what method to use on what dents, it’s time to get to work. With the suction dent puller, place the puller on the center of the dent, flip the handle, and then slowly pull outwards until the dent pops out. To use the screw-in dent puller, drill small holes at about three-inch intervals along the dent’s crease. Screw the threaded adapters into a hole and then slide the puller’s handle away from your car. Repeat the process for each hole you drilled.

Cover the Holes with Body Putty

Mix up body putty to cover the holes and any other smaller dents. Ensure you evenly spread the putty as thinly as possible. This will make it simpler to sand down. Allow the body putty to cure and then sand it smooth using sandpaper.
