How to Remove Dents from Car Bodywork

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Checks and maintenance

To remove dents from car bodywork, there are methods that can be done independently. To implement them, you will need to fill two bowls with water: one should be filled with ice to ensure the water is very cold; the other should be heated until it boils. This way, you can pour the boiling water first and then the cold water over the dented area: this will make the bodywork more malleable, allowing you to remove the dent with a few lateral taps or by using a suction cup.
