How To Remove Car Dents Using Dry Ice Paintless Dent Repair

Many people considers dent removing a difficult and an expensive procedure and thats the reason they dont even try to remove dents on their car by themselves. In fact they are content to pay expensive bills to body repair shops. If we analyze, dents on a car are not such a big deal. Your car can be cleaned from these mishaps domestically and the budget would not even go beyond your reach too. One of the economical method of dent removal is using Dry Ice.

Where to buy dry ice?
Dry ice is available at almost every super store. It does not cost too much as well. You can buy dry ice at almost $2. This is sure a pretty nominal amount and becomes even immaterial when it comes to your beloved cars beauty where the only thing hampering its hot looks and restricting it to be a really pimped up is the small dent which is apparent to the whole world. Guess what using dry ice is a paintless dent repairing process and does not harm your cars paint. Remember, using dry ice is only good for small dents and not for big ones. It can be used following these steps.

  1. Wear protective gloves before you hold the dry ice in your hands. Your hands may be vulnerable to extremely freezing dry ice.
  2. Put the dry ice on the dent. The more accurate you are in putting the ice at the center, the better it is.
  3. Hold right there for few seconds. 5-10 seconds are usually advised.
  4. Remove the ice. The dent would still be there. It wont pop out immediately. Allow some time. A minute or so and the dent will pop out automatically.
  5. If the dent is still there even after some minutes, apply the same above process again until the dent disappears.
  6. When the dent is removed, clean the area with a piece of cloth.
The above process is as easy as it seems. watch the video below as well so that you are even more clear.

How to remove dissasemble peugeot 308 steering

This is not my steering, just put up to beautify my page (courtesy of HereticBar photo)


My leather was all gone, warranty is also so i have to refurbish it. Ironically as I went to the shop, the guy does not know how to open up the steering. Damn, i have to drive back and figure it out myself. There is little literature in regards to this, other than i know that there is 2 holes in the steering which you need to push the rest is total guesswork. Updated the pics of the new leather with thicker grip!!

You will have to poke here to lift the spring
This is how it looks like so more or less you know how to poke the hole ..muahaha ...steering i mean.
The connectors to remove, left is airbag, right is for the horn.
Refurbish the leathers, it is a little more stubby now as seems leather is thicker ..
A little thicker
Looks stubby right .. it feels softer more cushion than the original. A lot cheaper than getting the whole new steering.
