How do you fix hail damage on your car?

Yes, but most likely not. While the amount of hail damage, your experience, and accessible tools all play a role, hail damage restoration is not a simple task. Here are a few of the most typical DIY repair solutions if you’re interested.

  • Heat Gun Hail Repair – When a car suffers a dent — or numerous dents in the case of hail damage — the metal surface expands to some extent. You can use a rapid heating and cooling process to correct the stretch, eliminate the damage, and make the car’s surface look normal again. Each dent can be warmed on a medium/low setting with a heat gun, then treated fast with a very cold element, such as dry ice. The concept is that the heat softens the metal surface, and the ice’s rapid cooling causes the metal to flex, pushing the dent out of the car. This procedure isn’t infallible, though; warming the vehicle’s surface can harm the paint and make things worse.
  • Suction-Cup Pulling Tools — Suction cup pulling tools are another, more accessible equipment for repairing vehicle hail damage. These tools can be suctioned straight to the dent and then pulled up on to smooth the car’s surface, as the name implies. This can be a time-consuming and physically exhausting job when there are many dents, and it must be done with extreme caution.
