Do Just One Thing

Danny Seo on

If you receive dry ice with frozen food deliveries, you can reuse it to help pop out small, shallow dents in your car. Wearing thick gloves, gently rub the dry ice over the dent for 30–60 seconds; the rapid cooling can cause the metal to contract and sometimes snap back into place. This trick works best on minor dents where the paint isn't cracked and the metal hasn't been sharply creased. Always handle dry ice carefully to avoid skin burns, and use it in a well-ventilated area. If the dent doesn't release after a few tries, it's best to stop and consider professional repair to avoid damaging the finish.
