Car Dents

Safely elevate your car and remove the splash guard if needed. When it’s warm enough, use the prybar to apply pressure to the dent from the inside out. Apply pressure to the deepest part of the dent first, then work through the shape evenly until the dent is either completely gone or not as noticeable.
