the baron Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 Has anyone tried the hair dryer or hot water method of getting dents out of a bumper, if so any tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrishak Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 I used a hairdryer to get a dent out of the bumper on a Ford Kuga - heat it up, push from behind and in no time, it was gone. Worked a treat☺️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the baron Posted February 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 I used the hot water and hairdryer and popped it back out, what I didnt realise is that there is another skin so makes it very difficult to press it out from the rear, I ended up using a screw driver to wedge up in-between the two skins and it worked a treat, the paint is hazed and cracked in a few places and there are two parts where the paint has actually come off but I can touch that back in until I get around to getting it resprayed at a later dat, so chuffed. Will try and post a few pics up of before and after later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boxob Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 The way the horizontal crease line has restored itself is very impressive. I thought that would atleast have a kink in it. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattman42 Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 That is an excellent result - have often seen cars running around with dented bumpers and wondered if this method would work. like the localised cleaning though 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 Watched a silver 986 reverse out of a parking space last week, right into a concrete corner. I shouted but obviously too late. Pushed the bumper in a good inch and a half. My daughters were shocked. He pulled forward and it immediately reformed, near perfectly. Daughters even more shocked! Driver got out to look, there was barely a scratch. Drove off. “Do all cars magically repair themselves like that Daddy?” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
