Dent puller

November 6th, 2009

Hard to reach: If you can’t get to the back of the panel, you’ll need a dent puller. There are various sizes available, either to buy from accessory shops or you can hire larger ones from plant hire firms. The dent puller needs to be roughly the same size or bigger than the dent you’re pulling, or it won’t work.Clean the damaged area to ensure good contact, then apply the suckers to the bodywork. If you have good contact, start pulling – you’ll be surprised at how much force is required. Seek expert advice: A mix of delicacy and patience is required to achieve good results when dealing with dings and dents, but if the job looks beyond your expertise, seek advice. It may avoid you having to claim car insurance for a new panel.
