How to Repair Dents on Your Car's Bodywork

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Dent

Have you had a small accident and your car door has a dent, but you don't want to go to the body shop? With the help of this short video tutorial, we will explain how to repair a dent using the Dithox technique. Using a dent puller, available online for a modest price of £4.49, pull the dent outward. If the dent puller doesn't work, you can glue plastic parts with hot glue, to which, once the glue is dry, you can attach a hook for better leverage outward. Once you have pulled the dent out with the dent puller, also available online for £53.21, brace the area, and you have removed the dent.
