    My brother lived in Texas for several years. It isn't unusual for cars to get dents from large hail in the fall and winter. He said nobody gets them fixed. In the summer when it gets to 105° and higher with the sun beating down, a lot of the dents pop out on their own.

    When it comes to DIY videos I usually am Very skeptical about them working. It always seems like there is more interest in views then posting a video that actually works but man I got to say that after watching your video and trying this hack it actually worked.. you are the Man.. Thank You for not wasting anyone's time with a nonsense video.

    • @AdamWasHere
      @AdamWasHere  3 года назад +44

      Hey thanks for the kind words man. I never even for a second thought this video would do what it did. I heard the tip from my auto body guy, decided to try it one weekend and record it with my phone to share with friends and family, in case it did. I only threw it up here on RUclips as a storage space, to relieve storage from my phone. That’s all I used RUclips for then, to archive videos I didn’t want on my phone anymore. And then a few months later, boom, it takes off and people act as if I made a scientific breakthrough, but I’ll take it and I have! Thanks again. Take care.

    Just a reminder for new viewers. This will not work for ALL dents on ALL cars. It all depends on the placement of the dent and if you can get get to it from behind and push it out. As for the plunger trick, in my case, the dent was in a spot that the plunger could precisely fit and suction to, then pull out. Also has to do with the fact that the part of the vehicle damaged was sheet metal. You would never be able to suction out a huge dent in a bumper or tiny hail sized dents on the roof or hood with a plunger.
    A lot of the success from this trick comes from using logic.

      Hell body work is easy anyways unless your pulling frames or fixing things like wrinkled quarter panels that have to be replaced. Most of the time in small fender benders you can do they work yourself. We basically taught ourselves how to paint to somebody gave us like 40 gallons of paint and we used a old junk car to perfect our technique. We had runs and orange peal on the first few sprays but we would just DA it and spray it again eventually we got results that where awesome. Then we moved on to fading so we could learn to match paint. I honestly believe we learned quicker with the free paint then if we had paid $1000’s to go to school for it. My old man had worked at GM painting new cars so he gave us a good base knowledge to start with.

  • @AdamWasHere
    @AdamWasHere  7 лет назад +762

    I wanted to provide a detailed explanation on how this works. The video shows the hack working on THIS particular vehicle, a 2005 Toyota Camry, I can't speak for every other single make and model vehicle out there. The area where the first dent was pulled out using a plunger is sheet metal and of course the back bumper I push out is plastic. If your vehicle is made of sheet metal and/or plastic, this could work but it also depends on the size and placement of your dent(s).
    Moral of the video: HEAT makes sheet metal and plastic more malleable to help get dents out along with applying some type of pressure; either by pulling or pushing them out. You can use whatever source of heat you feel comfortable with; heat gun, heat lamp, blow dryer, flame thrower, gasoline and a match, I don't care.
    What makes this a HACK is that most households have access to tap water, a pot and a stove to boil it. Cost of repair, maybe 10 minutes of my time opposed to what a body shop would rip you off for.
