Sounds like one heck of a storm! But don’t worry; you can smooth sharp dents out of your vehicle with the following tip! To remove sharp
dents
from a car, you will need:
  • Blow dryer or heat gun
  • Suction dent puller/plunger
Once you have the materials gathered, try the following:
  • Use a blow dryer to heat the target area.
  • Take the suction dent puller or plunger and put it over the target area. Pull the device upwards to pop up the dent.
  • Repeat steps one and two until the paint flattens out.
Good luck removing the dents!
