How to Remove a Car Dent With Canned Air

It's not that difficult to get a dent in your car. Even Mother Nature can play a role in damaging your car's appearance. Fortunately, as easy as it is to get a dent in your car, it's almost as easy to remove it. A can of canned air can do a lot more than clean out your computer keyboard; used correctly, it's your ticket out of a costly repair-shop bill.

Things You'll Need

• Hair dryer (cordless or with a long extension cord)
• Canned air
• Clean cloth

Instructions

1. Use a hair dryer pointed at the dented area to heat it up until it is hot. Keep the heir dryer moving over the area for 20 to 30 seconds.

2. Turn off the hair dryer; and quickly, before the area can cool down, turn the canned air canister upside down and spray the entire dented area. When turned upside down the canister will dispense liquid CO2.

3. Allow the liquid CO2 to sit on the dented area for 10 to 20 seconds and the dent will begin to pop out by itself.

4. Wipe the area clean with a soft clean cloth and repeat if necessary.

Tips & Warnings

• Wear glasses and gloves when handling liquid co2.
