I love videos like these, no intro no bs just straight to the point I wish all YouTube videos were like this

[joewoodchuck]

Good idea. This is how to make a diy video by getting right to the task. I dislike the ones with a lot of intro.

I thought I've seen everything but this is unbelievable. 75 years old and still learning.

My brother lived in Texas for several years. It isn't unusual for cars to get dents from large hail in the fall and winter. He said nobody gets them fixed. In the summer when it gets to 105° and higher with the sun beating down, a lot of the dents pop out on their own.

Step 1. Crash car

Just did this trick, worked perfectly. My dent was in the same spot as the one in the video. I did the same thing and it worked beautifully. Thank you so much

When it comes to DIY videos I usually am Very skeptical about them working. It always seems like there is more interest in views then posting a video that actually works but man I got to say that after watching your video and trying this hack it actually worked.. you are the Man.. Thank You for not wasting anyone's time with a nonsense video.

When you dont even have a car but you still feel satisfied that it worked...

Regarding that last little dimple that wanted to go back in when he released pressure off of it: while the plastic is still hot and flexible hold the dented plastic in the position you want and have a helper put cool water on it then it will stay in place

[unplausible]

I cant believe that actually worked, really helpful great job.

[taneziarobinson]

I just got the dent out of my 2019 Nissan and when I say you helped me tremendously you did that thank you so much ‼️💯

[SxdSatan]

some lady had hit my car on the side because she ran a stop sign, her insurance didn't do shit to help, this video definitely helped a lot, I actually fixed the dent on the car 👍🏻

[AdamWasHere]

Just a reminder for new viewers. This will not work for ALL dents on ALL cars. It all depends on the placement of the dent and if you can get get to it from behind and push it out. As for the plunger trick, in my case, the dent was in a spot that the plunger could precisely fit and suction to, then pull out. Also has to do with the fact that the part of the vehicle damaged was sheet metal. You would never be able to suction out a huge dent in a bumper or tiny hail sized dents on the roof or hood with a plunger.

A lot of the success from this trick comes from using logic.
