Citroen C5 X Dent removal and repair
Does your Citroen C5 X need dents removed and repaired?
If your Citroen C5 X has suffered from hail damage, a trolley ding or other damage, you may have dents that need to be removed or repaired. Basic dent removal and repairs usually start with Paintless Dent Removal, or PDR for short, and move up to removing panels to reshape the metal back to Citroen C5 X factory appearance before reapplying paint if needed.
Paintless dent removal is often the approach that works best on smaller marks and creases, and most of the time these repairs can be carried out on your Citroen C5 X at your home or workplace by mobile PDR technicians, meaning no trips to the panel shop and long periods without your Citroen C5 X. This also keeps the structural integrity of your Citroen C5 X intact, as no components need to be removed or replaced.
If the dent is larger, however, the only way to carry out a repair on your Citroen C5 X is to remove the panel from the vehicle (if possible) and manipulate it back into shape. This often damages your Citroen C5 X's paintwork or the paintwork is already damaged from the initial impact that caused the dent, so repainting to the Citroen C5 X's original colour will also be required. Special tabs can also be welded to the bare metal and attached to a slide hammer to pull out large dents, but this also requires paint to be reapplied after the repair is carried out.
If you are unsure if the damage on your Citroen C5 X is suitable for PDR or will require a lengthy stay at a smash repair centre, many repairers offer a free quoting service to determine which repairs are required, and many offer a loan vehicle while your Citroen C5 X is in being repaired.
