And hot water

[@TheCSJones]

Where do I buy common sense?

[@therandomizer9943]

Excellent work scotty as always. This is the exact same method my mom used to fix dents in the front or rear of her car.

[@wesgilmer5391]

I like the way he gets to the point. No small talk. No interuptions from wife and kids.

[@VMathisEntertainment]

I was rear ended on new years eve, it was a hit and run:( My mechanic quoted me around $2k to fix repair it! Today I decided I was going to fix it myself. I thought boiling water and using a hammer would do the trick, but I decided to get some tips on youtube first. What a CONFIRMATION! Great minds think alike! It worked, and other than a few pain chips and scratches, it's almost as good as New:):):) Cheers!

[@TheBLACKMQQN]

with his how to vids. this guy has saved me lots of hard earned cash. thanks scotty.

[@HarryJCLK]

You and Chrisfix are the best

[@ozomini3400]

[@jeffnasi6850]

Exactly

[@dnlmachine4287]

I just repaired this huge Toyota bumper cover using this technique. I removed the bumper, and filled the dented corner with water. Then sloshed the water around very controlled fashion. The dent almost fixed itself and the heat control was amazing. Thanks Mr Kilmer, Stay gold.

[@DannyFromLA23]

I love Scottie's attitude

[@theseen21]

I fixed my mother's car bumper w/ a regular hair dryer set on medium. A bath towel and muscle to push out the dent. Worked perfect!

[@timokeeffe8860]

Rumour has it scotty is still in paradise to this day...

[@captainrobots1]

Tim O'Keeffe welcome to paradise

[@amorymartinez2662]

Na he still working . Welcome to reality

[@Regal_Civic]

Thank you Scotty I didn't have the money to get a heat gun and the hot water worked I actually had to stand inside my Honda Civic bumper and jump up and down to pop the dent out. Thank you

[@PseudonymAliase]

i use a heat gun, way easier to control and work the bumper. plus your less likely to burn yourself. i also use wood to reach in behind the bumper to pry out. it works great. I love your channel scotty!

[@soinicx2]

The only video I could find that showed how to get to the inner bumper, you're a miracle.

[@rickytomatoes]

Another Scotty Kilmer video, another glorious day.

[@steventimmons-morris3951]

just wanted to say thank you for all the walk through videos. really saved me a ton of money on mechanics.

[@mishutz]

It works! One kettle full of boiling water and my bumper came back to it's original state.

[@jacobriaz1934]

Thanks for the idea. I fixed my bumper dents blowing hot air with hair dryer and it worked!

[@DukeWhite04]

Scotty, keep up the good work. You are educating me, one video at a time. Really enjoy this channel.

[@BlackPlague321]

Scotty Kilmer I'm starting my first year of college for auto motive technology and you've been my idol and inspiration to do so for years.

[@bitsandpiecesonly6462]

[@bolgerisdashizz]

MATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have just saved me from getting fired! You legend!!!! x x

[@andygill6051]

are you a valet?

[@bolgerisdashizz]

@@andygill6051 was a chauffeur

[@pipkin503]

This works really well for a textured bumper cover. If this was a painted bumper, like most cars have, you would need to have it repainted, and maybe replaced.

[@chris2302]

Hey Scotty, I really enjoy watching your videos. You really know your stuff!

[@alivefrom88]

Thank you verymuch, I just fixed my bumper, and it's perfect, except for a minor paint scratch after fixing the dent. Super incredible tip.

[@robertskipcurran8401]

My 2001 Taurus backed into someone else at the DQ [I didn't do it, of course, my Taurus did] and left a dent much like Scotty's. I was planning on doing the hot water trick but before I could the temperature here rose to the upper 80s F. I touched the dent and it was about as hot as thought it needed to be so I took my crowbar to it using the curved back side of the bar. On the Taurus the back side of the dent (or the inside of the dent) was entirely accessible from underneath the bumper. Lying down on the hot and painfully pointy gravel driveway, I used a little gentle but serious persuasion with the back of the crowbar and the dent popped right out. I'm somewhat pleased with myself. It was quite easy to do. Point is - Sometimes the sun can heat up the bumper material to the degree necessary.

[@steves5172]

I find a heavy duty electric paint remover works really well for me and saves any danger of burns. Thanks Scotty!

[@Nevune]

Great idea. Thanks for sharing. I'm about to fix this same issue, and hopefully this trick will help.

[@64samsky]

Scotty, you are my favorite! Thank you for all of the knowledge you share.

[@MidniteAuto12]

Great tip there ! I love watching your how to videos, even know I am a retired, mechanic and autobody guy, I am always up to learning new stuff. Wouldn't a heat gun work to and have a little more control over it ? Bet your neighbors just love you spinning the tires ? Keep the videos coming !

[@reyman3544]

Your videos are the best man keep up the good work. Appreciate the effort put in to make the videos! Cheers!!

[@ghostgrim1338]

Hey Scott I got my 99 Honda Accord in a wreck about 3 months ago and I was going to just replace the bumper but this will work you saved me $75 doing this.

[@arneyjeff]

Thanks for another great tip. Appreciate all the great videos Scotty!

[@tamara7859]

I fixed it and it's like new! Thank you scotty!

[@JS-ed2hg]

I've used a lot of your videos and wanted to say thanks, have a good thanks giving scotty \m/

[@bradbell5599]

Thanks this really works, I didn't have to remove the bumper, I just pour the water on the outside.

[@scottykilmer]

to some extent, but paint will often crack. Though repainting it once straightened out beats buying a new one and repainting that one, as they don't come painted, they are black in the box.

[@NRecob]

As always, GREAT video Scotty! THANK YOU AGAIN!

[@laurasabo5306]

SCOTTY YOUR VIDIOS ARE SO HELPFUL YOU HAVE SAVED ME LOTS KEEP THEM COMING ...... LAURA

toyotas cause they rarely break and I hate working on my own cars. But shelby cobra for speed if someone else is paying for the gas.

I agree! I've learned so many tips and tricks here from Scotty!

[@AndersEvenrud]

[@michaelbrandon8679]

Scotty. You're the best. Thank you so much.

[@conked944]

About to perform a hot water plunger pull on my 2017 hatchback, some smart person backed up into it.

[@comeonscott]

Awesome!! I will try do this to my 00 Taurus right rear bumper. Good work!

[@jdarnell123]

Scotty... great vid and you earned a new sub. Thanks for the excellent content! 🙂

[@cghern75]

[@7Storm7]

Another awesome tip! Thanks...

[@JoseDiaz-er4ww]

If i only have my own home, could be fixing my cars problems all the time without spent lots of money in "do it yourself" small jobs that are very easy to solve. Thanks Scotty!!! Now I have hundreds of projects in mind to solve and make my car a classic !!!!.

[@N108funshow]

You're channel is great.

[@67mustangreg]

I use castrol in my personal cars, always have. Costs more, but never had any engine problems.

[@TheAzore64]

[@johnking8875]

Hey scotty just wanted to say i really injoy watching your videos. Iv given me lots of usefuly tools.... thanks for the info.

[@scottmcf2011]

I don't think I would come back from paradise. Nice video and a really good tip.

[@cassiejury4038]

How cute is this little man!

[@tunespt]

Yep, true, a decent heat gun has means to control it's temp, mine does as well as a wide hot air output, just regulate to something around 120º Celsius and all is well. I also use this with metal dents, heat a spot in the middle of the dent and then a towel dipped into icy water, most of the time, it just pops out clean.

[@lactobacillusprime]

Excellent tip sir!

[@MrZeddy100]

[@slurmz123]

Good video love this channel

[@scottykilmer]

harbor freight normally sells low cost versions.

[@GuessThisPrice]

Great tips!!! Never would have thought of using water. I would have thought of using a heat gun.

[@vtownboxingfan]

Good job Scotty.

[@aureliobonilla1888]

Good advice. Go Scott! 😁👍

[@martyman175]

LOL. "Assuming I come back."

[@dominican7290]

Always a good video Scotty. Where’d you go on vacation that time?

[@j0k3r9696]

wow this is gold.. thanks scotty

[@muffin1719]

I love this guy!

[@EdGloss]

30 seconds and a $10 heat gun. No unscrewing bolts or taking tires off. Just be sure to use a low setting and take your time as it can get extremely hot. Also, if you use the heat gun in one place for too long you'll melt the paint. Use a towel on the underside to push it out and make it straight (the towel is to avoid getting dirty and because it can be very hot). I did it to a huge dent and it looks factory new and literally took under a minute.

[@ringbolt9]

great tip!

[@scottykilmer]

fantastic, if you ever get a chance, go to Tortola.

[@IAcityntv]

Thanks for the tip!

drum brakes work perfectly fine, giant 18 wheelers use them. Discs are more for stop and go racing applications, they fade less in such situations. Not too many people racing big trucks around.

[@bgregg55]

that's a nice tip. thanks

[@perryellis1423]

Great video

[@JOHNEYFIVESTACKS]

I liked this idea so much, I poured hot water on my gf and now there's no dent on my couch anymore. Thanks a million Scotty
