Who wouldn’t like to save on the expense of bringing your car to a body shop when your bumper has been dented without any damage to the paint. There are plenty of auto body repairs that you can take care of yourself, but the DIY approach you are about to watch in this video is so simple with incredible results!
Using a pail or teapot of boiling water, you will see how miraculously this guy fixes a dent to perfection. Probably using rubber gloves for the safety of your hands would be advisable. He pours a good amount of hot water on the outside of dent. I’m watching, and can’t imagine where this is going!
He then reaches into the wheel well while the urethane is still hot and malleable, and pushes the bumper out to it’s original shape (This is best done on newer cars that have urethane rather than the metal on much older cars). It just pops right out, looking exactly as it did before the damage.
How does that magic occur? The heat causes the plastic of the bumper to expand, allowing for flexibility that enables you to pop it back into shape. Pouring a pot of cold water on it once it’s been reshaped will quickly cool it down, shrinking the plastic back into place and setting it in it’s repaired position.
