. Luckily, you can fix small dents in your car hood using these household items:- Vacuum cleaner. Poke a hole in the bottom of a container or bucket and place it over the dent. Use the vacuum to suck the air out of the hole until the dent pops out.
- Plunger. Push the plunger against the dent and pull the plunger back until the dent pops out.
- Hairdryer. Heat the dent and its surroundings with a hairdryer for 15 minutes, then cool with ice water. Repeat this process until the dent is gone.
If the dents in your car are still there after you try these methods, you may have to consult a professional to repair the dents in your hood. To help pay for repairs, find savings by shopping for
