How to Care for Your Car After Paintless Dent Repair

One of the best things about paintless dent repair (PDR) is that it’s minimally invasive, which means there’s virtually no special care required afterward. When you have your dents or hail damage repaired by a skilled PDR technician, they’re restoring the metal carefully from the inside, so your car’s original paint remains intact and your finish is protected.

No Special Aftercare Needed

Because PDR doesn’t involve sanding, fillers, or repainting, there’s no need to worry about waiting to wash your car or taking other precautions after the repair. Once your car leaves the shop, it’s ready to go—whether you’re driving home, heading to the car wash, or parking it in the sun.

Keep Up Regular Maintenance

If you want to keep your car in top condition, basic care is all that’s necessary: wash it as usual, park in safe spots when you can, and keep an eye out for any new dings or dents. This general upkeep will keep your vehicle looking great long after PDR.

Enjoy the Results!

With PDR, you get to enjoy a seamless, hassle-free repair process that leaves your car looking like new. If you’re thinking about dent removal or hail repair, contact Dent Details to learn how quick and easy paintless dent repair can be.
