The practice became fairly widespread soon there after, thanks primarily to the many benefits of paintless dent removal that still exist today: a nearly flawless surface, no need for harsh chemicals or paint, and the amount of time and money that are saved in the process.

Of course, since those past years, paintless dent repair has come a long way. While the basic science behind the process have remained virtually the same - using specialty tools that "push" at the dent from angles designed to match the curvature of the car's exterior - there are many repair companies that now specialize only in dent removal, giving them more time and energy to devote to the perfection of the craft.
