Rustynuts Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Anyone know how to remove dents from car bodywork without causing any damage? Someone though about it and came up with this idea. Link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant see that someone would go to that trouble for a prank video ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stooH Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 My MD has a 530d beemer estate which he kicked the door in on after the I-drive thing decided it didn't want the car to start . Now if I try this it could mean the difference between promotion and the sack ?! Anyone tried it on an old banger yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stooH Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 Just out of interest does anyone know which day this was video was originally posted? Was it April 1st? I'm not too hot on the laws of physics but what with contraction and expansion can kind of see how this would work. Any physicists out there?

steelwind101 Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 I posted this on another board and people said it is acutally used (or similar method not using a hairdryer). But not normally on painted bodywork as it could crack or break the paint which was my fear. Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We use heating and quenching all the time to repair distortion in panels and fixtures at work, although we use something hotter than a hair drier. However the chances of getting it to pop out perfect would be pretty slim especially on a flat panel, it wouldn't remove any creases in the metal and probably would crack the paint. So in theory yes, in practise very difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustynuts Posted April 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 Might try it out on the van. No harm to be done there..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
