Car collisions happen every single day, and it's always a scary experience for all parties involved. After getting your safety squared away, your next step may be to find a shop that specializes in collision repairs to fix your car. Your car is probably one of your most used tools, so you may be curious how these repairs actually happen.
The embedded video discusses all the aspects of auto body repairs. The expert discusses the project he's working on, and shows each of the tools he'll be using to finish his work.
To start, he actually uses a heat gun on the surface to warm up the metal and make it more malleable and easy to work with. He then attaches tools to the surface to allow him to pull the dents back to their original position. This does a good enough job of getting the metal close enough to its desired position.
Any additional adjustments are made with small hammers and extremely pinpointed modifications. The pulling process brings the metal beyond the desired position, and the tapping hammer allows the metal to go back exactly where it belongs without causing any damage to the paint.
Finally, the collision repairs specialist will buff the paint and regain that like-new shine so there's no sign of any damage at all!.
