Removing a Dent in your Car: Does The Hot Water Trick Work?

We had an unfortunate parking lot mishap with my car, which gave me the perfect chance to try out this trick.

I've been a mechanic for decades. I'd have said it needs a new cover from a yard, if it's a common color you might not have to paint it. I've learned to fix them with heat guns from pro videos but this was very enlightening. Two amateurs in about three minutes? You ladies are great, just going at it, right after it happened too. Thanks for a great video. I wish you were neighbors!

This mother and her daughter brought me joy and made me smile. Congratulations! Greetings from Chile.

Just did this on my niece's car! Two chicks, boiling hot water & a pry bar. Thank you! Your video totally inspired us to give it a try before paying $300.00 to a dent removal guy! You are awesome ❤❤❤

Well done, ladies! Thanks for showing the underside of the crease before repair, as well!

Excellent..a lot better than the heat gun method as you know its not going to overdo it and melt the plastic...but pour the water on first slowly..then get under the car...just worked on mine a treat.. couldn not use the the sink plunger method to suck on over the dent ...but used a rubber coated hammer handle to push it out...thanks girls...its a really wet day here in the tropics in Australia..and thats one job i got done today..looks much better..thanks

Awesome. Still VERY grateful that you taught me how to fix my wife's window regulator on our van. Now.... I wonder... how well will this work on the dent on the back of our lift gate on our red Town & Country? If I take the interior panel off and carefully disconnect all the wires and use hot water or a VERY careful use of the heat gun (and new body repair suction cups on the outside, with someone pulling the cups) will it work. Hmm??? There is a slight single crease which may not come out but I think the big dent ought to. Perhaps I should wait for the August Virginia heat to help me out. Anyway. Our kids have always been that helpful. I thank God for them every day. Happy and safe New Year to y'all.

OMG, on my dog walk tonight I saw a neighbor's car that has gotten dented in much the same way. It looked like it could be easily popped out and now I know how to do it!!! Can't wait to tell her! Thank you for posting this!!

[krickette]

OMG! I needed this for the rear bumper on my car! I'm gonna show this to my hubby and see if he's game to try it!

[WagnersTechTalk]

Awesome job, so glad it popped right out for you! This is the 2nd of your videos I've found helpful, just subbed. Thank you for the great content 😎

Great result! I was hoping you would go underneath a bit, and allow us to see. It stands to reason that a strong push should help push it back out. Thinking of using the boiled water was a nice touch. In the 80s, I had a car made of metal, so used the moistened toilet plunger treatment, which worked like a charm. I am not sure if this would work on plastic or not.

I tried this yesterday and it worked! Thank you so much for making this video!

[larryberry]

I have seen that done with a heat gun, but you risk damaging the paint. Your idea seems to work better. 😊

[n.furber]

I did the same thing but in the side door! Used hot water and a toilet plunger! Worked like a hot dam. and before hubby got home

[mitziclarke]

Great job ladies, I have had 2 mechanics tell me it can’t be done, I need a new bumper and one said he will fix for $500. Haha what a load of crock, going to put on a pot of water now at 11:25 at night.

[dawnwilliams]

what a legend, well done here from UK

[jadeygame]

That was great. Would love to see how you fix and paint or scrapes if you plan to do that yourself too ☺️

[herreriaspartatijuanatj]

Jajajaja 😂 good work . Bless you from Mexico

[ladymaxx]

Thank you I will definitely try this method ❤

[karenj]

I was amazed & never knew this could actually work! I'm hoping I dont ever get a Dent! But unfortunately I'm so short! God didn't bless me with height! But I always have a tendency to hit But I'm sure I can get under a vehicle like you did in this video 😂! So I definitely know if I ever do this I Pray to God I don't! But I will be playing the Part of climbing underneath 😆!! I had a friend while back people made fun of her being the only Female in her Class with nothing but all Guys there! When she went to School to become a Mechanic!! I said I wished I had learned I was a single Mother @ that time! My kids has kids now! But @ 1 Point I was always asking my Dad he knew how to work on vehicles he had his own Salvage then! Which played a big role on getting Parts to Fix!! I realized that after having Problems of running over Curbs jk 😂!! But he has Passed since (2021) a while after My Mother (2007)! But back then cars were completely different! I'm sure I don't have to tell everyone that by everyone finding out the hard way 😩! Everything were more Complexed but seemed like in a different way! Not being Computerized like it is today! Which not knowing the things there can be very difficult as well!! All I can say is Great job it proves Women can do it just as well as a Man!! & It shows its about learning!! Which any & everyone is capable of learning & getting the job done!! No matter who!!
