dent removal

Fixing bodywork depressions

Dent removal is the process of restoring a dented surface—usually a vehicle's body panel—to its original shape.

The most common technique is paintless dent removal (PDR), which uses specialized tools to massage dents out from behind the panel without disturbing the finish: The hail damage was minor enough for dent removal without repainting.
