It won’t cost you anything to trymikekimcomedy/tiktok
In a video posted to TikTok, an American comedian shared the simple way to get your dented car looking brand new.
Pouring boiling hot water out of a jug onto the bonnet of his vehicle, @mikekimcomedy demonstrated how the appearance can change in minutes.
After pouring the water, he put his hand the back and gently pushed the dent outwards.
He said: “Pour the hot water on the dent and around the dent because those are flex points.
“So when we try to pop it out it’s more flexible, kind of like yoga for the car.
“Make sure there’s not hot water dripping off so you don’t burn yourself.
“Then stick your arm deep inside the bumper and then use your other hand as leverage.
“Then push as hard as you can.”
The video was flooded with likes and comments.
One user said: “Thank you my mind is blown.”
Meanwhile another added: “Awesome. Thanks for sharing this.”
A third commented: “Awesome! I love life hacks!”
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Once the dented portion of the car is nice and warmed up, the dent can be gently popped out by pushing from the other side.
It should be said, that this trick will likely only work if your bumper is comprised of plastic.
And while hot water can obviously work wonders, many people insist on using cold water on the previously damaged area after it has returned to the original shape to help cool it down and set it.
