A small dent might be possible if it is in the corner of the bumper. Small dents in the middle tend to stretch the plastic material and make it more difficult to push it back in place. It would require using constant heat on the area and tools to try to push it back. It shouldn’t damage the paint if it is already in good condition. Otherwise a body shop would have to fill the dent and repaint the bumper.
Right? I wish I knew this 10 years ago after hitting a small, but rock hard snow/ice mound at...no more than 1.5mph!. Front corner bumper caved in as if it was made of tin foil!(scary how fragile that is) I made the claim, auto shop repaired it, new bumper. $500! I could have done this. Yesterday I did on my rear bumper when someone hit me in a Target parking lot on Wed. - while I was in Target...they drove off. Anyway...$$$ saved, dent is out. Just need to smooth it out some more. Used a hair dryer, but picked up heat gun last night which should help a LOT more!
Perfect! I really dented my front bumper cover last night - very badly, on my 2005 Mazda Tribute. I pulled the whole bumper cover, 7 screw and eight or ten clips, half of the clips were missing. I worked mostly from the back, using a thermometer gun and a heat gun...I just heated up the pressure points (who knew?) to 225ºF, since you already told us an approximate temp (165ºF was insufficient for my cover) from the back and stood on them (my wife was holding up the cover so I had a flat surface) - perfect! Some really crinkley points needed some 2"x4" persuasion, but they were very sharp points. The high, constant heat was key, and working from the back kept the paint safe. This was my first time doing this, after a sleepless night of searching the net for a replacement bumper (use Trustpilot before buying a bumper from anybody). Now it looks as good as new, really. I wanted to send photos but Google is still useless when it comes to photos in comments... Thank you so much for your video!
Great video. Someone left a huge dent in the corner of the front bumper of my 2015 Nissan Micra (we're a long way from Minnesota), but using the heat gun like this I was able to pop it right out again. I left the fog lamp in place and just heated around it. Now, apart from a few scuff marks it looks the same as before! Thanks!
Thank you for the tip, works great. I didn't have a heat gun so I used a hair dryer and it got 95% of the dent out. I will borrow my son's heat gun when I get a chance and try to finish it off. The heat and a little patience sure does the trick.
Appreciate the sharing of your expertise. I ended up pulling off half my bumper, & heating the main concentration of the dent it up with a hairdryer. Got my hand behind the dent, & with my heaviest Michigan work glove, popped it back out. I then had my wife keep heating it as I used the butt of my screw driver to help bring it out a bit more from the inside. The dent popped out probably 98 percent, & because it's the lower bumper (you can't really tell unless you were really trying hard to find it). Thanks again!
Thank you for comforting me with your peacefully confident demeanor. A truck was tailgating me the other night, and a deer headed out onto the road. Normally I can slow enough to miss them; but the pressure point from the back largely hindered my normal response. I’m trying to repair the dent myself, and your presentation has facilitated my thinking process about it. Wholeheartedly, I thank you.
Thank you. I appreciate the comment. If you have trouble with being able to repair the bumper, then you could always reach out to a PDR company to see if they will have better success with the repair.
I just found your UA-cam video and I appreciate you educating us folks who have to do things by ourselves. I'm going to be working on a right rear Toyota Yaris bumper on a four-door sedan. My brother-in-law fixed his previous car with the basketball after he took out the tail light lens and it looked fairly good. I am in no way looking for Perfection I just want to make it look a lot better than it does right now. But seeing as it is winter time and the end of December 2022, I'm going to see if I can do this using my heat gun as well to make it a better job. Wish me luck.
Thanks! Yep, woke up yesterday and saw a deep dent on back corner of my Nissan (assuming this happened at my local Target on Wed....smh). Worked like a charm, not finished yet. Now getting access to behind my Nissan bumper was actually the hard part...not much room behind it - thats always bee an issue with this car...space! Even after loosing the bumper, removing 10m screw, few clips which was enough to heat it up w/ blow dryer and push the major dent out. I did pick up a heat gun last night which should help more than the air dryer (the slight breeze I had cooled off bumper faster than I wanted, even with 85º outside temps) , so I will work evening some of the slight bumps, making this as smooth as possible. Just thrilled the unsightly pushed in bumper is 95-96% back to normal again.
Hey. Thank you for the video man. I live down in Bloomington and I had someone back into my personal car at work. I knew of the hot water method and this was much easier. I got real lucky that they didn't back up hard enough to break one of my headlights. Anyway thank you.
Yes, I believe I do show that I heat it from the inside of the bumper also. This does allow to heat the plastic a little more without burning the paint. But it can still get hot enough to melt it. That is why a temp gauge is used to monitor the panel temp.
brilliant,just pulled out a dent from 2 years ago in my Ford C-Max bumper. Can hardly see it now. Had to heat it to 200 degrees though. This bumper is not painted. Thanks.
Great job!!! You mentioned buffing some scratches out. What did you use to do that? I removed a dent from our back bumper and need to that to ours. Thanks
You will want to make sure to use the infrared temp gauge on the panel. This is the most accurate temp. You will want the panel temperatures to be about 150* F, but no more than 200. Also the color of the paint can affect how hot you want it. Lighter colors will burn the clear coat with height temps.
If they are the removable clips. Sometimes they can be reused if they are still in good condition. Otherwise if they break when removed, then they can be replaced. Some auto parts stores will have them or they can be purchased from the dealer for your specific car.
A heat gun is better because it can get to a higher temperature, but you also need to be careful not to burn or melt the paint. If that feels like a risk to you, then having some else help with a hair dryer might be ok.
I’m not as familiar with fillers and painting. I just strictly do paintless dent removal. From what I understand from the body shops I work with. You are limited with fillers and need to add some “flex products” to the paint since the bumpers are plastic.
Good day. Great video. Would you have any experience with using the method on fiberglass? I have a dented Thule car top carrier that I'd like to straighten out.
I don’t see this working on fiberglass. Fiberglass doesn’t have any flexibility and either won’t move or it would crack. Usually fiberglass won’t dent but would crack upon impact. It could be your carrier is a type of plastic and then this method could work on it.
@@exceldentremoval Thank you so much for the quick reply. We bought the topper while on vacation last week in Duluth. At home, one family member forgot about it before pulling into the garage. Had the circumstances been different we would have just taken I35 and brought it in to your shop. Also, I've come to find out that the carrier top is carbon fiber. Would you have a suggestion with this material? Best regards.
I was trying to backed up to my friends house i hitted the my passenger side it popped out the dent and trying to park backward of the white car. Please help me
If the plastic is heated and molded back. It shouldn’t come back, especially if it is a larger dent. But there could still be some “waves” in the plastic since it has since lost its molded shape.
How do I remove the the part that is between the back passenger door n the bumper. I have a big dent I want to get fixed. Step by step please. Thank you.
It can be different for each car, but most have a bolt in the upper corner behind the wheel well. Usually a 10mm. Then remove any other screws or clips in the wheel well area and underneath the bumper. After all are removed, it can be gently pulled away. The bumper “snaps” onto a bracket behind it.
I usually use a medium to high setting. But it’s more about the panel temperature. Depending on the color of the paint, you can get it around 150-200 degrees.
I have a 2022 Honda Accord and I unfortunately hit a raccoon on my way to work. It’s in the front bumper on the driver’s side right under the fog light. Will this method work for me ?
would it be beneficial to heat it up from the inside? reason i ask is because i have a white bumper and scared i may burn the paint while heating it up
Yes. It can help to heat from the inside of the bumper. You’ll see in this video that is one of the reasons that I do it that way. You can still heat from the outside but just be careful not to get it to hot. Also know that you can still burn or melt the paint from over heating from the inside.
At least this guy gives clues where bumper screws might be when many VIDEOS are too LAZY to tell that! Just too dark of a video to SHOW where screws or bolts are located to remove the bumper!
It can. I don’t think it will get it quite hot enough but if it’s not to cold out and you can have someone else holding it to keep the heat going it might work.
I’ve had the one used in the video for years and I picked it up at a local hardware store. But you can find them on Amazon. ✅ You can check out the link in the description to my Amazon shop. I have one listed there under PDR Accessories.
+Larry Lucero Cost for these can be different from other companies. Usually in a range of $50-$350. I usually average in the middle depeding on how much has to come apart to get behind the bumper.
There are a few factors that affect the cost and time to properly repair a dent in a bumper. Most of these type of dents that I repair can range from $200-$450. This will depend on how much work is involved with the repair, including the size of the dent, what needs to be removed for access behind the bumper, and any “clean up” work needed for sanding and buffing if needed.
Thank you sir! Was going to use the Boiling Water Method, but decided to search first, and your "heat both sides of the bumper" method not only made sense, but worked very well!
That looks like even I could do it... I have a 2014 Toyota Prius V and was stopped by a guy who works at the local dealer who told me I had a dent in my front bumper. There's a long story, but basically, he told me that if I took it to the dealer, they'd charge me thousands of dollars to repair it, and he had a guy in the car with him who just started working on it without my permission. After it was fixed, he said he had to replace all 16 brackets that he'd put in place (I was told I had to sit on the brake, so I couldn't watch what he was doing) by tonight or he'd lose his job. Then he said they were $389 each and he'd used 16 of them (aha - thousands of dollars anyway...). I couldn't pay him anything today, and got slightly hysterical at the thought of finding $6000+ I didn't have. I think I've been had. What do you think?
I’m so sorry this has happened to you. 🙁 This unfortunately is a SCAM. They will usually approach you in a parking lot and tell you they can repair the damage. Usually they don’t even repair it but even make it worse which will cost even more later to have it done right. It’s a good thing that you didn’t pay him anything right away. If they are still trying to get money out of you for it. Then I would report it to the police.
I don't think everyone is going to use the time to go and buy a heating gun I seen videos where they boil the hot water and they pour it on the plastic bumper and then they push the bump out it seems like that works better than wasting money on buying the heat and gun and then trying to push out a dent. also the ones that use hot water it did not take long for their dent to come out their car.
I can tell you now from experience a heat gun is the way to go if you think you're wasting time to go buy a heat gun ? Hot water along with the wet mess ..... sounds like you are trolling 😂
The damage to the corner of the plastic bumper often does not damage the metal bumper or the structure of the car. If the damage is is in the middle of the bumper or the damage is severe enough to cause additional damages behind the bumper, then this would require a body shop to replace or repair those parts before replacing the outer bumper shell.
Have a question about removing a dent in a plastic bumper that wasn't in the video? Leave them down in the comments below.
Excel Dent Removal how about a small dent and will it mess up the paint or the clear coat
A small dent might be possible if it is in the corner of the bumper. Small dents in the middle tend to stretch the plastic material and make it more difficult to push it back in place. It would require using constant heat on the area and tools to try to push it back.

Nicely done and explained!
How much does it cost for the average removal of a dent like that
The cost can vary depending on the damage and the work needed.
For just basic removal of the dent in a bumper the cost can be $150-$300.
This video saved me $500. Thank you! As a minimum wage worker, this saved me a week's worth of wages.

What were the other tools you used to smooth out the wrinkles
Great job!!! You mentioned buffing some scratches out. What did you use to do that? I removed a dent from our back bumper and need to that to ours.
Thanks
Usually a mild to mid grade buffing compound will work. Can be done by hand with a microfiber towel. Or by using a machine buffer at low speeds.
Excellent instructions thanks
Glad it was helpful!

Best regards.
You could still attempt it to see if it will work. It would still be a “fiber” material, so it’s less likely to be flexible.
Thank you. Will a hair dryer work also?
Yes. A hair dryer can work but will be much slower. It also may have a hard time to keep it consistently warm enough while working out the dent.
I was trying to backed up to my friends house i hitted the my passenger side it popped out the dent and trying to park backward of the white car. Please help me
stupid question if it gets incredibly cold is there a chance the dent can pop back in?

Yes. I have contact info on my website.
I have a 2022 Honda Accord and I unfortunately hit a raccoon on my way to work. It’s in the front bumper on the driver’s side right under the fog light. Will this method work for me ?
Yes. This should work. I've repaired a few bumpers that have damage to the lower corner area.
You are using Farenheit degrees or Celcius?
Fahrenheit
would it be beneficial to heat it up from the inside? reason i ask is because i have a white bumper and scared i may burn the paint while heating it up
Yes. It can help to heat from the inside of the bumper. You’ll see in this video that is one of the reasons that I do it that way.
You can still heat from the outside but just be careful not to get it to hot.
Also know that you can still burn or melt the paint from over heating from the inside.
How about a dent that is pushed outwards? Like a bulge?
R u sure it will not damage the color of that part
Is this possible on a tesla model 3 rear bumper?
This should be possible for a similar dent on the bumper of a Tesla.
As long as there are no sensors damaged.

I have some items listed on amazon. You can see some of them at this link ➡️ goo.gl/vVrHxQ
Have you repaired a bumper with PPF installed on it? Does the PPF have to be removed?
If the PPF is not damaged, then it might be possible. But it would need to be heated from the inside more than the outside so it doesn’t get burned.
How much would you charge to do a job like that ?
+Larry Lucero Cost for these can be different from other companies. Usually in a range of $50-$350.
I usually average in the middle depeding on how much has to come apart to get behind the bumper.
what you charge of this bumper dent
There are a few factors that affect the cost and time to properly repair a dent in a bumper.

This will depend on how much work is involved with the repair, including the size of the dent, what needs to be removed for access behind the bumper, and any “clean up” work needed for sanding and buffing if needed.
