In many cases, it is possible to straighten small dents without necessarily filling and repainting the bodywork. You can use multi-suction cups or specialized dent removal levers that allow you to pull out the recessed metal, perfectly restoring its shape.

Additionally, a significant advantage is that often you can use the levers without removing any trim: in the case of the video being examined, the dent on the door is straightened by inserting the lever through the weatherstrip. Using these techniques requires some experience and skill: in attempting to straighten, it is possible to distort the metal or chip the paint.
