To restore a dent on the rear bumper of a Toyota Yaris, work safely with the vehicle on a clean, dry surface. The deformed area is gradually heated with a suitable heat source, evenly distributing the heat to make the plastic more ductile.

Once the working temperature is reached, the deformation is pushed from the inside of the bumper with constant and progressive pressure, or it is pulled from the outside with a suction cup or equivalent tool, avoiding jerks that could mark the paint.

Once the correct shape is achieved, the surface is held in position until it cools naturally, allowing the plastic to stabilize the original profile.

At the end of the process, the alignment with the body profiles and the smoothness of the surface are checked; if necessary, the heating and pressure cycle is repeated with micro-corrections to eliminate any remaining ripples.
