Can you repair dents in an automobile with a hair dryer and a can of compressed air? Yes and no. It depends upon the location and severity of the damage. But…

when you empty that can of air …. whats in the can ? lol
Not sure I’d be comfortable blowing hot air inches from the gas tank
door… Did anyone else notice that?
Works great got the big eye sore out but in the end it’s now just got a
bunch of small dents. Don’t worry though it’s a Ford they come naturally
dented
I prefer suckin’ cups…
did it sound weired when i said that ?
step 6 huff whats left in the can and drive to your local autobody repair
shop lol
Holy shit same spot, same car!
I don’t belive this all lies
That first dent could have been easily pulled out with a toilet plunger in
about 10 seconds.
Why not reach in the trunk and pop the biggest one out could’ve saved about
14 min ( considering it took 15 )
Do you think that it can work with a motorcycle fuel tank ??
Really tho it works. Before aerosol there was a cold wet rag…..
pretty impressive !!!
This works as long as the metal is not streached beyond the yield point, at
which point you must compress the metal back to an acceptable shape.
I wasn’t 3 cans of air, reheated the area 4 5 minutes long but nothing,
what am I doing wrong?
ripples all over it
doesn’t heating the surface damage the paint?
Whoooooooa there mad scientist you just impressed a metal hammerer
So easy even a cave man can do it.
Check out this video on YouTube:
Who wants to melt the paint on their car? Lol the people who are dumb
enough to try this
The smaller dent is in an area where it is double wall construction, this
might be dissipating the heat, (the wheel well part of the fender might be
allowing an air space between the parts and closed off it works as a
barrier. So that bouncing your hand around the dent would not work. I will
try your technique on my double wall constructed Mercedes and get back to
you. The steel used in a Mercedes is like US steel for a Ford. The Steel on
any Japanese car is high in sulfur and potassium.
I say it “worked” got rid of most of the ugly…much less noticeable dent
to live with.
pffffttt…if the body panel was a bubble…maybe this would work…since
its a solid sheet of metal, this is pointless! it does not work, this is a
total joke and many cans of air have been bought and used for just video
purposes alone.
genius idea, simple, inexpensive, thanks for sharing.
your mistake is that you’re spraying the center of the dent with the cold
air. you need to heat it and then just spray the PERIMTER with the cold
air. the cold will shrink and POP out the dent. good luck.
This does nothing. Tapping a dent in certain areas will help.
The reason for the can being upside down is it get damn cold, you can give
yourself frost bite if not careful.
That’ll be $600
Use an Hair dryer, not an heat gun, you can damage the paint with heat
gun…..
Hi Ken,
thanks for posting the video.
I can attest to that quarter being pretty closed up.
Paintless dent repair doesn’t use heat or cold like this, but we can sure
fix the rest of it for you.
If I don’t have a can of air?
I love my dents people think I don’t have any money when they see my car. I
got plenty.

Umm, no you really don’t. What are they paying welfare recipients now a
days, BWHWHWHWWHWHWHWH
Other wise cool video
Ive heard dry ice works well for this too, but i have never tried it
its fuckin science people! only works on certain dents, but it DOES work.
heat the metal, then cool the metal with frosty air. it causes the metal to
“tighten” . a little love tap is key sometimes to get it to un-pucker
A plunger would have been faster
Just turn it into your insurance to fix that way it is done right
You could have just hit that dent like that from the start. I know I do
auto body repairs. The heat gun and coolant did nothing to the dent…
I stick with the don’t DENT it in the first place repair. Mine is
flawless.
Not sure what people are on about, you can use heat to pop dints out. I
was just wondering if it could be done on the inside just using heat.
where can you buy this compressed air? I can’t find any in the stores.
This was not sucessfull at all, as I can see the big dent was now made into
a few smaller dents and you still have a wave in the panel. If you really
want it done right don’t be cheep take it to a body shop or someone who
knows what they are doing, body shops aren’t as expensive as people Think
and if they pull it with suction cups they will only charge $80 for it.
my dad used too do this with dry ice.
definately good to know
great try guys,
at lease you made some progess.
Can any1 tell me why I need to use the air compressed on the dent area? TY
Wouldn’t a bag of ice or even dry ice rubbed over the dent also work?
the severe heat and cold temperatures DESTROY the clear coat…not to
mention that this application will not work on 99.9 percent of all dents.
How I repaired a dent in my Ford Escape using a heat gun and a can of
compressed air.
Yes. It REALLY did work.
Why not use a hosepipe instead of Compressed Gas?
