They come in all shapes and sizes and can be found at your local hardware store for less than $20. In this case, smaller is better, but so is quantity. If you have two or three small suction cups, as opposed to one toilet plunger, you will have a better chance of getting the dent to pop out.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dealerfireblog.com\/mbscottsdale\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/325\/2016\/04\/Mercedes-Benz-Dent_o.jpg\" alt=\"Mercedes-Benz Dent Removal Instructions\" width=\"715\" height=\"230\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-204\"><\/p>\n<h3>Pound it Out<\/h3>\n<p>This is complicated and is usually what it comes down to when you bring your car in to a shop. Basically, the body panel has to be removed, pushed back through from the inside, and touched up. This can be a big job and we do not recommend it for the do-it-yourself mechanic.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dealerfireblog.com\/mbscottsdale\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/325\/2016\/04\/Mercedes-Benz-Big-Dent_o.jpg\" alt=\"Mercedes-Benz Dent Repair Scottsdale AZ\" width=\"715\" height=\"230\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-202\"><\/p>\n<h3>Dry Ice<\/h3>\n<p>Although we haven&#8217;t seen this in person, there are many Youtube videos showing how dents will pop out simply by rubbing dry ice on it. This works because the dry ice cools down the dented body panel, forcing the material to compress. This compression gets rid of any flexibility the panel once had and forces it back to its original shape.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dealerfireblog.com\/mbscottsdale\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/325\/2016\/04\/Mercedes-Benz-Dent-on-Trunk_o.jpg\" alt=\"Mercedes-Benz Small Dent Removal\" width=\"715\" height=\"230\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-203\"><\/p>\n<h3>Compressed Air<\/h3>\n<p>Compressed air can work the same way dry ice does. By flipping a compressed air can upside down, the liquid inside is forced out. This freezing liquid cools down the dented material, causing it to pop out.
