A Look Into Techniques Applied In Dent Removal

By Krystal Branch


In Orlando, Florida car dents are an inescapable fact to all car owners. The most careful of drivers is likely to encounter a situation where they have no control in preventing it from occurring. Some situations are caused by nature for example hail storms cause serious deformations on car tops. Dent removal is important because it reduces further destruction to car bodies and thus helps maintain their value

There are several kinds of dents that are separately identified by the position in which they are formed on the car body. All of them have the same destruction on the car body but albeit to different proportions. Those that occur on rigid curves are harder to repair than those that occur on almost flat curves. This dictates the approach to be undertaken.

A number of ways exist that can successfully remove car dents. These methods are done by experienced repair technicians and individual owners who have gathered enough experience to do it. The type of ding present determines the method to be used in removing it. The methods also require different tools and materials for the task to be completed.

The most widely occurring is the smooth deformation because it is usually located in broad panels like the car doors. The immediate way of repairing it is to gently hit the ding back side with a rubber hammer. At times this yields no result therefore necessitating the use of a puller device. The device requires a tiny hole made at the dent's sharp point for it to be fitted in. It is later pulled outside thereby regaining the panel shape.

Small sharp creases are positioned in a highly reinforced area of the panel. They are relatively small but sharp because in these positions the metal alloy is tight and strong. This makes it very hard to remove with affecting the adjacent body coatings. The ideal way to remove these kinds of deformations is using a technique called paint less dent removal.

The best way to deal with it is using the paint less approach that does not create the need for new paint after completion. This technique carefully removes the deformation without interfering with the paint. It uses particular items that work on them from the inside. The items, which are a metal rod and a reading board, can only work well if used by time tested professionals. Another plus for this method is that the car can be repaired at home and within a short time.

A lesser used but similarly significant method of ding repair is glue pulling. It is used to repair sharp dents that cannot be accessed from the back side. This method uses special glue to attach tabs on the outside of the dent that are later pulled until the ding is removed. The glue might be reapplied several times before the ding is removed.

These approaches have made dent removal to be less of a problem now than in the past. Of particular importance are the advantages of the paint less method. It particularly helps in retaining the car worth.
