Paintless dent repair, PDR tips? Throughout the 1990s, automotive paints and vehicle body materials were high quality and much more resilient to bending.

A good paintless dent repair might look perfect, or close to it,but the metal underneath that shiny paint is still damaged. It’s thinned out and its structure has been weakened.

Just remember: Sometimes it really pays to hire a pro. To DIY or not to DIY? I’ve never tried to use an at-home paintless dent removal kit to bang one out myself; however, I have owned a car that I had completely repainted because paintless dent removal wasn’t an option.

That said, I’ve never bought a product from an infomercial to attempt a car repair.

Another popular method for removing car dents out of plastic material involves using two popular household products: a hair dryer and compressed air. Start off by heating the car dent with the hair dryer at its highest temperature, which will expand the plastic of the car. As soon as it’s hot enough, grab the can of compressed air, turn it upside down, and begin spraying that same area. Since the cold air will cause the plastic to contract, the dent will pop out.

Wax Your Car: Yes, I think it is accepted knowledge that your car needs to be waxed on a regular basis. If you have just bought a new car from a dealership, you must realize that no new car comes with wax from the manufacturer or dealer. New car prep does not mean the dealership is going to wax your car either. So that new car paint of yours is like taking a new-born child out in the sun with no sunblock on their skin. You can review my selection of best car waxes in helping you choose a quality car wax. Just remember your car should be waxed every 4-6 months under “normal” conditions. If you live in extreme weather conditions and you plan on keeping your car for over 5 years, you might consider applying wax to that new car paint even more frequently.
