How to repair small dents on the bodywork

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Dent

In this video we can see how to repair small dents on the plastic bodywork of our car, without having to resort to a body shop. These are dents that we may have caused by hitting a tree or a concrete bollard, which have caused some parts of the bodywork to cave in. We can use a heat gun for bodywork (if available), but a regular hairdryer will work just fine. By heating the plastic, we will be able to push out the dented part and give it a better shape. In this case, we will also be able to restore the fog light, which has caved in due to the impact, but by doing this we can restore its functionality.
