Removing a dent from plastic bumper (Page 1/1) DanDamage NOV 02, 12:06 PM Does the hot boiling water trick really work? Going to attempt this tommorow. Removing my front bumper to try and remedy a not to bad dent in it Boondawg NOV 02, 12:27 PM I just reach in behind it and push it out. Once I had to use a stick (with a balled-up wad of cloth taped to the end to spread-out the force) to reach it. blackrams NOV 02, 01:10 PM Have seen the heat gun trick while pushing the dimple out work (depends on the dimple) but, be careful with that heat gun, the results of too much heat can be expensive.

Any advice on buffing out the minor scratches, what do I need to buy? MidEngineManiac NOV 03, 07:44 AM I'm too uncafinated right now, but search YouTube. There are Vida on how to do it with a blow dryer. Heat it and it pops right out. DanDamage NOV 05, 12:05 PM THANKS GUYS it worked like a charm!! rogergarrison NOV 19, 11:44 AM I use a heat gun, but possible to use a good hair dryer also. Ive fixed some pretty messed up bumpers. Dont know how hot water works...seems a little hard to buy that. Dont always believe stuff you see fixed on YouTube. I dont know how many headlights ive had to REfix or replace because someone tried a method seen on YouTube. One tried a drill and WD40 on his Mercedes. I had to replace that $1000 set of headlites. He melted big gouges in them.
