These small car dents likely stem from <a href=\"https://www.dinggo.co.nz/panel-beating-services/hail-damage-car\">hail damage</a>, door dings, and minor bumps from other vehicles. The effectiveness of Paintless Dent Removal is often defined by the flexibility of the paint and the extent to which the metal has been stretched by the damage. In short, it's <a href=\"https://www.dinggo.co.nz/panel-beating-services/dent-removal\">dent repair</a>, without requiring any painting afterwards, which means it's a lot cheaper and faster than traditional <a href=\"https://www.dinggo.co.nz/panel-beating-services/smash-repairs\">smash repair</a> methods. In general, Paintless Dent Removal works on aluminium and steel panels that have shallow dents without a sharp crease. Fun fact: Paintless Dent Removal was invented by Oskar Flag in 1960 during the \"International Motor Sports Show\" in New York City.\r\n<br><br>\r\nOur network of Paintless Dent Removal specialists use a wide range of tools, including heat and fluorescent light, to avoid chipping or cracking the damaged area.
