Using Natural Sunlight to get rid of Dents
Some people will tell you that you can use natural sunlight to get rid of small dents from hail. Parking in the sun will heat the metal of the car, causing the metal to expand. As the metal expands, the small dents should pop out. The longer that you expose your vehicle to sunlight, the greater chance the technique will be successful.
Apply Hot Air to the Dents
If you don’t have a sunny spot to park in, or just don’t want to expose your vehicle to prolonged sunlight, you can heat up the metal of your car with a hairdryer. Hold the hair dryer 5 to 7 inches away from the dents for two minute intervals. Don’t touch the hair dryer directly to the surface of the car. Also, be sure to be careful. You don’t want to damage the paint coloring, you only want to remove the dents.
Apply Dry Ice to the Dents
You can use dry ice to fix dents. Take a piece of dry ice and apply it to where the hail damage is. The change is temperature should cause the dents to pop out. However, dry ice can damage your skin, so wear gloves when performing this home remedy. Move the ice around the dented area to rapidly cool the area.
