Heat gun vs. Mazda CX-3 dent: Easy DIY fix or a recipe for disaster?⁠

Hey guys,

I am planning to buy this Mazda CX-3 for a good price. But it has got a little dent in the front bumper.

I’ve seen people on YouTube pop plastic dents out using a regular hair dryer or hot water, but before I go out there and accidentally melt my car, I wanted to ask the experts here:

Is this actually as easy as it looks?

Hair dryer vs. Heat gun: Is a normal blow dryer hot enough, or do I need a heat gun?

Any pro-tips to avoid ruining the paint or plastic texture?

I'd really appreciate any quick advice or personal experiences with this. Thanks in advance! 🙏

(Note: I'll try to push it from behind once it's warm!)
