I love videos like these, no intro no bs just straight to the point I wish all CZcams videos were like this
Tnen Gamer It’s not fake
They were! Now everyone wants to get to the 10 minute mark
In our next lives. In our next lives, just wait. 🙏🏽
@@hmsho wtf is wrong with you are u blind or something
I hear you there.... It's a refreshing change
Good idea. This is how to make a diy video by getting right to the task. I dislike the ones with a lot of intro.
Me too they just rubs me the wrong way
As I see them giving me a show .I'm gone.
Yes, and ignorant brainless music
Oh I know right? They always start with a history lesson and a personal anecdote. So annoying lol
I think if the video is longer than 10 mins they get some benefits
Yeah if it starts with ok today we're going to""""" da da da after 3 mins of other ish move along. If its a 17 minute, 25 minute diy on some simple ish don't even watch it. Keep it condensed, simple, and to the point .
I thought I've seen everything but this is unbelievable. 75 years old and still learning.
I agree, it's truly amazing 🙂
Hope you see the day when they cure aging.
Maybe because the older cars where made of actual steel not plastic hehe
@@wowalamoiz9489 broooo that would the best discovery ever
@@spideydudenof7085 that would be the worst, monopoly old men will exploit the rest forever
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.
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 CZcams as a storage space, to relieve storage from my phone. That’s all I used CZcams 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.
parents are home in an hour so this better work >.<
Edit: (2022). All love my boys 💯
Yeah he gone yall

Edit: I can't believe my stupid comment is still getting upvoted lol
Quite funny, nice try. Maybe try again.
Seriously im like how do i obtain boiling water.
😂🤣
Make sure you salt the water first
🤣🤣🤣
I appreciate you getting straight to it instead of just talking for 10 minutes 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
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.
Lol wow really that's funny
It got to 110 last summer in Houston and I still have a dent on my Toyota solara that I'm going to try to remove today, I don't think all cars body is the same it looks to me older vehicle have more solid body structure
@@bluetiger5852 most smaller and newer cars have plastic bumpers
I live in texas and my parents had a greyish silver 2001 grand prix and the gear shift lever plastic started melting and looked like a smear, and the dash board had melted crayons in it because of my brother 12 years ago
@ Blue Tiger
I heard if you put dry ice on a dent when it’s hot, it pops out.
straight to the point vid...no long winded talking...just action...my kind of vid...fast n faster..
Absolutely!!!

Like my woman
Absolutely right.
Came in expecting some fake shit.
...was shocked.
👍
Me too
same
I was shitting when i watch this
Simple would have never guessed! What else in life are we deluding ourselves about the complexity of! Here's one for ya there is no law that says one must pay income tax! In any common law domain! That's right folks! UK US CAN AUS Etc Google it! Gobsmacked? Not as much as I was until I found out acts and statutes are not law! Boiling water won't work for everything though shame really; )
Me too
I just got the dent out of my 2019 Nissan and when I say you helped me tremendously you did that thank you so much ‼️💯
I had a bumper dent in the same spot on my Chevy Impala poured the boiling water on it got up under it popped it right out! THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO! Short and straight to the point 😎
Mechanic = *That'll cost you $900*
Great hack.
The mechanic will probably replace the entire thing though.
@@onee yeah exactly, this is only a quick fix, it won't give you that good results because it might not go back to the original form etc.
Literally happened to me and it was 850...I don’t remember searching anything about this tho...google always listening 😬
HAHAHA. Too low. I got quoted 2900 with claims of needing to replace the entire bumper assembly and rock shielding on an unrelated part of my car.
@@PneumaticFrog but it's better than getting around with a massive dent I reckon. Some bog, sandpaper, paint and a few hours will bring it up heaps better.
When you dont even have a car but you still feel satisfied that it worked...
It's fake.
I'll put this in watch later bc I'll sure wreck my care the day I get my licence

Exactly...
Worked perfect for me. Boiled the kettle, poured it over the dent, plunger 3 or 4 times and the dent was gone. Didn’t even have to push from behind.
Thanks again 👌🏴
I am glad you were here, Adam. This will safe people a lot of money! Thank you!
I cant believe that actually worked, really helpful great job.

I should've searched this sooner. Thank you for this💖
Thank you my friend, (6 years old post).
Had a dent on top of wheel arch kindly done in car park by unknown truck who drove off. This worked first time. Thanks again. MB in the UK.
Step 1. Crash car
Step 2. Boil water in a large pool
Step 3. Drive car into pool
Andy Kalogolos if that video could happen and work, it would be the most viewed video in CZcams history. An instant 1 billioner!!!
You forgot step 4. Blow in tailpipe to pop dents out
Why do all that when you could just use Duct tape?
😂😂
@@einsteinvondaniken that shit made me choke!! I almost just died reading that shit u asshole 😂😂

lol
No one says that

Best one I've seen yet! so simple you don't even need to talk... Thanks for the share, Adam
Thanks, watched your video, boiled some water and 10 minutes later my car was fixed. That is just lovely!
Regarding that last little dimple that wanted to go back in when he released pressure off of it: while the plastic is still hot and flexible hold the dented plastic in the position you want and have a helper put cool water on it then it will stay in place
Do you just use your hand to push dent out?
@@emma_001 that’s what he did yea
You can also use a large smooth garden pebble or a golf ball to pop it out from behind the shell while a helper pours cool water over the affected area to set it. Works like a charm and saves you a few grand!
Exactly! You got it🤝
Changing temperature quickly will make almost any material crack. (That's why they specifically tell you NOT to do so for pots, pans, glass, ect). Cool water after boiling is a huge no.
Just did this trick, worked perfectly. My dent was in the same spot as the one in the video. I did the same thing and it worked beautifully. Thank you so much
how hot should the water be while I’m pouring it onto the car? To the point of boiling or just steaming hot like as hot a Kuerig makes water.
Back when they made real cars, you would not have gotten a dent like that..
You wouldn’t happen to drive a Toyota Camry would you?
@@itsny01 Its pretty obvious take off pot when its boiling and dump it while its hot.
I'm here because my lil bro just knocked the corner wall of the gate with company car and we trying to fix the dent and this worked like a charm. Thank you 😊
What really helped me, since hitting it wasn't working, was I wedged my hammer into the right place and just used the lever action of it to push my dent back out.
So helpful, thank you mucho!
Great video fixed my car perfectly, however how do i get rid of the body?
just throw it in a sea lmao
Plastic barrel, fill half with acid. Add body.
Shave the hair first then feed it to the pigs... So I've heard...
Watch a couple of episodes of Sopranos... should help.
Eat it 😈

😂😂😂😂🤣😂 not today it won’t

Now this is a good video.

Thank you kind sir.

Worked like a charm. Thank you for the no nonsense presentation and for saving me untold hundreds of bucks!
This has to be the most useful video ever on YT!👍👍👍👍
i tried it but its so hard for me, the dent is too strong for me to push
going to try it on my daughters' ford focus those other idiots are just jealous making stupid remarks you can clearly see that it works she has a 2007 not ready to throw money away to give a dent
For some reasons, I just can't hit the like button, this video deserves many, many likes.
Does it ruin the strength of the bumper making it seems weaker in the heated part?
@@JoseHernandez-wf3kz I don't think so. I'm not qualified to say yes or no but I've not noticed any issue like the. 👍
Holy sh**. This guy needs some sort of award.
holy shit...if u mean shit, say it !
I think he needed a doctor more so after he fell!
You can do the same thing with a hair dryer or a heat gun. A propane torch will work on the sheet metal. Just have to be careful with the heat gun so that you don't end up burning the bumper.
This deserves 100+million likes. This is certainly the best life hack ever.
This is a life hack.
some lady had hit my car on the side because she ran a stop sign, her insurance didn't do shit to help, this video definitely helped a lot, I actually fixed the dent on the car 👍🏻
For next time, install a dash cam and consult a lawyer. Those idiots must be smashed..

True underdog moment.
I was going all john hammond like from jurrasic park..."yes, push push"
I wonder if he managed to ever get that last bit out
Insurance: Thatd be 2k..
Me: keeping the 2k and fixing it like this.
Lol
It feels sooo good to count up all the unspent money you have
Heat gun or hair dryer works good too. Allows you to have a bit more control
tried it today it really works...
Of course it does..Glad it helped you!

NO IT DOESN'T. AT ALL. NOT ON A 2014 CAR, MAYBE ON AN OLD PIECE OF SHIT CAMRY LIKE THIS.... :[
CaptainCringe heat actually softens metal so it works on metal panels too.
I just tried it and it's not working for me
Insurance: any prior damage?
Me: nah
Me too 😂
I have a video fixing car bump you can see it in my channel guys. But I use different strategy you can see it.
Lol
I'm impressed

Wow! This is awesome, thank you so much for showing.
Fantastic! Loved the technique and the silent recording, very good!
shops hate when ppl put repair videos because it causes them to lose business but i love ppl who do because not everyone has money to waste shops love to rip u off!!!
Luis Huembes
I own a body shop. We dont care. This is litterally the oldest trick in the book
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.
Not all shops rip you off m8 just the bad ones
CZcams is disappointing it gets you salty tho 😂😂
CZcams is disappointing
Hahahaha, so what do you drive then?
Please take the time to explain why you have come to the conclusion that the Japanese make shit cars, I'd love to hear your logic.
Every car should come standard with a pot and a plunger......water comes separately.
JPLMONEY23 haha
I am going to try this today!! Awesome.
Knew about it on plastics, never occurred to me on steel.
Did it work?
This is definitely one thing car body repair shops don't want you to know.
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.
TeamFamily If it works HEY you saved yourself TONS of money!!
TeamFamily maybe a vacuum with small attachment fitted to hail dent size..
Linh Pham This is THE question asked the most and my answer is, no it did not affect the paint on THIS car. I cannot speak for ANY other car out there. This is solely an “at your own risk” type of tip.
TeamFamily I have a dent on the front left corner of my hood, is it fixable with your hack?
TeamFamily so it wouldnt work on a fender?
Great video but I hate how that last little dent wouldn't give in lol
That's the cliffhanger for the next episode
Yeah that dent had some behavioral problems, in school. You have no idea what dents go through now and days. “STOP BEING JUDGMENTAL”
more hot water?
🤣
Totally worked for me on a Toyota Aqua 2016 (Japan).
At least for a quick fix, not super beautiful but it relieved my pain. Thanks so much for sharing!!!
Great content. To the point and useful! Question..How did you get to the bumper itself? My '03 Corolla has two ways, the trunk and underneath is not accessible
There's this drug, that makes you really really small. He took that.
At least it wasn't a click bait
Jaquita Thompson Damn straight
If I had a dollar for every time someone mentions a hair dryer or heat gun. Not everyone has that. This is what makes this video a hack! Everyone’s got water to boil.
Except the Africa boiz. But we're not counting them because that's cheating
Does everyone have a plunger though?
Paper balls I friggin' hope so.
Paper balls I dont have a plunge :(
Aren't heat guns made for melting paint
Best video, no clickbait, straight to the good stuff!! Thank you champion, subbed
For anyone wondering, this is a real life application of Charles' law. At constant pressure, when temperature increases, the volume of gas also increases. In other words, it describes how gases expand when heated. (Chemistry class comes in handy for these sort of things.)
I tried this on my mother in law. Couldnt fix that scowl!
So ill keep searching for more life hacks!
Maybe you didn't boil the water long enough??? :-0

Wow! I just saved $1,000+ and a trip to the auto shop.Thx to whoever posted this!!😁❤
Amazing...The person who is working on parts are made off fibre or moulded plastic and treating them first with boiled water makes them soften and then pulling them with the help of suction is great 💡..I don't know about fibre parts but moulded plastic parts can be repaired...great idea
Makes me want to intentionally dent my car just to try it😄
Same method can be used to fix your toilet as well.
Haha, very good
I dent my bowl every 💩 sesh
How you do to destroy a toilet?
If your toilet is made of porcelain, then I feel like instead of getting a dent in a wreck, it would shatter instead.
Wow plunger... that's a fascinating idea. I'll add that to my list for dent auto restoration business. Tank u
IamAnoobiecheez I know, I once drove around with a dent in a door panel for 6 months thinking I might get it sorted when I had the money until a friend suggested using a sink plunger. I did and it was fixed in a second. I was so happy.
Rick wallace That'z good... glad it worked out for you well
IamAnoobiecheez one girl used the suction side of a dildo
IamAnoobiecheez 8
IamAnoobiecheez Hmm now I don't need to spend hundreds dollars on that I can do it by myself
I buy cheap basketballs and wedge them behind the panels that need to be popped out, then use an air compressor to blow up the basketballs move the metal quickly. Doesn't always work as planned, but it's always exciting when the basketball explodes and you get to see how much progress you've made with the PDR job.
Dude, best dent fix video ever!
I watched this same video today and used step by step for my car and it really worked. I was charged $1,000 at the body shop for the dent. I am glad that I didn’t fall for it. Thanks for the video.
My neighbor backed into my car (09 vibe). Body shop quoted me 3700 bucks to fix a dent in the quarter panel and bumper. Ima def try this with some suction cups and a heat gun
@@Zippytez did it work broski?
@@Matrix_Uncovered worked a bit. The damage wasnt on the plastic bumper guard like the vid, but the all metal quarter panel. Heat def helped, but took me 8 hours to get it to be semi decent
@@Zippytez ah I’m needing to work on the metal panel too. I’ll probably just accept the dent is part of life now.
@@Matrix_Uncovered you may be able to remove the plastic panels inside and bang from the inside, that's what I had to do
This glitch doesn't work anymore, patched on the current version (5.0.9) We apologize and sorry for the inconvenience
Mann thanks‼️‼️💯🤝 just saved a lot money doing this it worked out for me perfect for my wife’s car.
I had a very similar corner dent shown in the video so I got my boyfriend to give it a shot, and low and behold IT REALLY WORKS!!
Good idea, I'm going to try that for the dent in my head.
Those last 2 small dents would drive me crazy, i wouldnt be able to sleep until those were gone, grrrrrrr!
Tall Topp bondo is your friend
@wutup5566 Nah, you can't really get out small dimples / dents. It would probably be easier to get a replacement bumper from a junkyard.
Nice! Hot air gun or blow dryer works too.
Does this really work 🤔 😳 thank you now I know how to take dents out my car blessings to you!!!!
This works. I pulled out the entire bumper, was standing on the dent and trying my best to push it into position but it would not work. Using boiling water pooled on the inside of the bumper, the bumper started to move firmly and easily. No damage to the pain otherwise. Its incredible.
guy at the smash and repair shop : "wow. Car is badly damaged. We need to replace the bumper, a few hours of work on the side. This will cost $800 at the very least"
TeamFamily : "I need hot water and 2'14 of time"
they wanted to charge me 2k to repair a small dent on my bumper and trunk. fixed the bumper but trunk is a bitch
They charged my father $800 for this bullshit.
Lol they are trying to charge me $1500 for a dent
Behind the plastic is a metal bar. That is designed to deform in impact
@@montefurze3811 what does that mean for the repair?
So cool I'm about to try this... thanks for the video...
Very helpful video. Thank you for sharing it.
"look how cheap we make cars now!"
Exactly, I fixed a dent just by repeatedly punching it from the opposite side of the dent. Didn’t think of using boiling water but same thing applies.
Misael Toral my dad would use a hammer and just beat the shit out of the dent from the inside out lmao
Yeah. Give me the old steel cars back.
It's much safer this way. In case of colision, the car will absorb the shock rather than ur bones and organs.
Its physics. Things you learn in school
Sarah Tonen no, he hasn’t made that video next

This is just superb, I have been researching "stop biting your nails polish" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Pensabella Xeyli Plan - (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my work buddy got excellent results with it.
Give me 2 million I will do Tha car plumbing job for you 😊😊
@Sal m gf
Dang I’m gonna have to try this thank you for the video!
Absolutely awsome! Good job. I will try it.
Great video! I got flash backs of the Ace Ventura rhino scene when you doing the bumper lol
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.
Joey Diaz What tub?
Joey Diaz It's plastic and I believe one piece.
well said.
TeamFamily Wtf a flame thrower? Gasoline and a match! The car is going to blow the fuck up! 😂
Matt Abcdef wrong!! Body shops are a rip off!! Its a dirty business!
Can confirm this absolutely works 100% on plastic bumpers and body panels. You can also use a heat gun to warm the surface. I was amazed at how well it works...just domt burn your hand. Use the rubber handle of a screw driver on the underside to push the dent out.
Oh I needed this, bless you.
Straight to the point. No bs. Love it
Man I can't believe people's posts on this, just unreal. Guys, the first part of the car or the first dent is on metal, the bumper or second dent is plastic, hot water makes both of them easier to deal with when trying to remove the dent. What the hell is wrong with some of you?
Stephen Klick Dude , I've been trying to figure that same thing out for the last month or so! haha
Stephen Klick Ah and I see another Beatles fan as well. It's no wonder you got this right away. 👊🏻✌🏻
TeamFamily Yeah, the Beatles are pretty great. My Dad and Brother are way more into them, I kind of picked up through them but I've always liked their music, and their songs are challenging and fun to play. Good little riffs to keep around. Someone asked me to play working class hero the other day. I think I'll get into that, then I'll figure out more life hacks to beating the system. Haha. I can't believe how crazy some of these people are but then again???? I always appreciate good CZcams video's.
Stephen Klick there's no plastic on a car, it's carbon fiber
Terminator X Hopefully that's a joke otherwise, you're a fucking idiot.
Out of all the outrageous money they charge for auto body work and that's what it takes??!!! This video is awesome!!!!!
No yapping just getting down to how you repaired dent , I like that ! 👌
A life hack that looks promising. Nice 👌
Until the wind lightly blows on it and it dents it back in because of how weak that spot is now,
That's pure magic!!! I wish I knew about this years ago!!
I got a similar dint on the back same spot and one on the front lower side. Im definitely trying this
Thank you so much this trick is so helpful for me I appreciate you and apologize my mistake 😢❤❤❤❤
