Oh no, I’m guessing your car was not the intended receiver! Luckily, it sounds like this dent probably isn’t too serious, which means there are a few DIY methods you can use to fix the sharp dent in your car.
If the dent is round and on the smaller side, the suction powers of a good plunger may do the trick. First, get both the plunger and the car wet to maximize the seal, and pull until you hear a gentle pop, which should be the sound of your dent disappearing.
Another clever trick is using a hairdryer combined with some compressed air. If you heat the impacted area with a hairdryer, the heat will expand the dent and make the area more malleable. Then, spray the area with a burst of canned compressed air. The dent should vanish immediately.
If that doesn’t work, you may need to visit a professional to fix the dent.
