Our ability to remove a dent is determined more by how sharp or how deep it is and where it’s located, rather than how large. As a general rule of thumb – if a dent involved any moving vehicle, it will probably require a conventional body shop because of the excessive stretch and bodyline damage. We specialize in parking lot damage – door dings, golf ball and baseball impacts, as well as hail damage. top

The only way to get out dents and scratches is to refinish. So, try to prevent dents by removing high heels, trimming pet nails, and applying felt protectors to furniture legs. Also, consider a satin finish instead of a glossy finish, as it will make dents and scratches less noticeable.

Most scratches and dents can easily be repaired by flame-treating the area. While this is an easy repair caution is necessary. 1. Clean the area with rubbing alcohol to remove grease and dirt. CAUTION: Do not hold the flame concentrated in one area too long. Too much heat can cause the plastic to get distorted or thin. CAUTION: Keep the flame or excess heat away from decals to avoid melting the ink or burning the decal.

Absolutely not. Once a dent has been removed properly with PDR, it never comes back. Most dents repaired conventionally develop a ring around the dent, or sand scratch marks 3 - 6 months after the repair. This is never the case with properly performed PDR.

Dented hardwood floors are repaired through a sand and refinish process. The floors must be sanded with a floor sanding machine to make the surface of the floor smooth again. Then a new wear layer must be applied to the floor to protect it from wear. Floor sanding machines can be rented at many building supply stores or equipment rentals. However, it is recommended to have the floor professionally refinished if you are unfamiliar with this repair process.

All children will have some infections in their tonsils or adenoids in their lives. Two main problems that can occur with this tissue are swelling, which can make breathing and eating difficult, and repeated infections. If they swell permanently and cause sleep apnea often surgery is indicated. If surgery is necessary, it can be done safely on an outpatient basis. Your child will miss about one week of school following surgery.

Any tick should be removed as soon as possible. The best way is to use tweezers to grab the tick as close to the skin as possible and pull it straight out. Do not squeeze the tick's body when removing it. Do not handle ticks with bare hands. Wash your hands after removing a tick. You may want to apply an antiseptic on the bite. After removing, drown the tick in alcohol or kerosene and keep it in case illness occurs so you can show it to your doctor or send it for identification.

A small incision is made into the eye. The surgeon will either remove the lens as is, or use ultrasound, a laser or surgical solution to break it up, and then remove it. The back membrane of the lens (called the posterior capsule) is left in place. Usually, a replacement lens (called an intraocular lens, or IOL) is inserted.

Although the LAP BAND® System is not meant to be removed, it can be. In some cases this can be done laparoscopically. Surgeons report that the stomach generally returns to its original shape once the band is removed. After the removal, though, you may soon go back up to your original weight. You may also gain more.

After establishing the 1755 North Main Street factory in Los Angeles, Airstream expanded into east of the Mississippi by opening a plant in Jackson Center, Ohio in July 1952. Later that year, a second Southern California plant was opened up in Norwalk at 12804 E. Firestone Blvd. This later became the Santa Fe Springs plant in 1958 when borders of the two towns were realigned as Southern California grew. The North Main St. factory was closed in 1960.

Yes, Argosy trailers were made by Airstream Company starting 1972 in Versailles, OH. near Jackson Center, and are usually recognized as "Painted Airstreams". Many features were first tried out on the Argosy models, and then incorporated into the more traditional Airstreams if they were a success. A good example is the large front wrap windows. These painted trailers were able to utilize steel end caps and aluminum panels that were damaged or blemished.

From the very first in 1936, the frame was covered on the bottom by a smooth aerodynamic aluminum skin belly pan.

There is a certain satisfaction in saving something old and making it usable again. The usual attraction is the unique styling of the Airstream, nostalgia for the golden era of travel and camping, and the pride one has in not only having a beautiful trailer, but also something that is practical and useful.

Very few, about a dozen in the US, and all are very expensive for full vintage trailer restorations. Many people pay upwards of $25,000 to $80,000 to have one restored. Restoration and repair work is very labor intensive, and the end cost reflects this. Airstream restoration is still the realm of the handy-man do-it-yourself er. This is not to say you can't hire out some specialized work, but the cost will add up in a hurry.

The best bet is to review the many web sites of those who have done it, and learn from their mistakes and successes. Demonstrations are given at many rallies, and people that have polished their trailers are always willing to share their techniques and tips (including me). Also check the FAQ section on Polishing later on.

Many people’s first instincts when getting an older Airstream is to start polishing, paint or replace the upholstery. Just as with an old house, that won't suffice. You must address the hidden less glamorous aspects first. The ideal order is: The steps involved in your situation will depend on the condition and era of your trailer but generally follow the same guidelines.
