Regarding the use of boiling water to repair car dents, this method is only applicable to body parts made of specific materials. The boiling water repair method primarily targets plastic bumpers or trim panels: it softens the material with high temperature and then pushes out the dented area from the inside, but it cannot be applied to metal car bodies or areas with damaged paintwork. During actual operation, boiling water should be evenly poured onto the plastic dent. Once the material softens, a suction cup tool must be used promptly to apply pressure from the exterior for restoration. If complete recovery isn't achieved in one attempt, the heating process should be repeated. Note that this method demands precise temperature control; excessive heat may cause plastic deformation or degradation. Additionally, it is unsuitable for repairing metal components (such as doors or hoods) due to metal's high thermal conductivity and the need for structural realignment. PDR preserves the original factory finish through precise internal pressure application using specialized tools, whereas sheet metal work is employed for severe deformations requiring repainting. DIY repairs without proper experience may exacerbate damage through improper handling. Typical repair costs range from 200 to 800 ringgit, varying according to the dent's location and severity.
