  • Question
    Does this only work with fiberglass portions of the car, or can it also work with metal?
    Community Answer
    It works with metal too. Blowing with the hair dryer alone won't fix anything; once you heat the metal up enough with the hair dryer you have to push the metal from the inside of the dent outwards towards its original position until it gently pops back into place. Turn off the hair dryer and don't use the car for at least half an hour afterwards.

    How can you pull a dent out of a plastic bumper?
    Community Answer
    Heat up the damaged area, put on a thick leather glove, and push out the dent while holding pressure on the dent. Take a cold rag soaked in ice water and rub it over the heated area.
  • Question
    Would this work on aluminum bodies?
    Community Answer
    Probably, but there is a high risk of warping. Aluminum is a very light metal that warps easily.
