DIY guides & tool lists

Most bumper scuffs and short cracks are a weekend DIY job: weld or glue the crack from behind, fill, then prime and paint.

Shallow, round dings with no cracked paint can usually be pulled out with a glue kit, and no painting needed.

Surface rust and small bubbles are DIY-fixable if you grind to clean metal; rust that's eaten through needs a patch panel or a pro.

If your fingernail doesn't catch on the scratch, it's only in the clear coat and a polisher will remove it in an afternoon.

Yellow headlights are oxidized plastic, not dirty glass: sand it off, polish, then seal it or it comes back within months.

Side windows are tempered glass that shatters into cubes, so it can't be repaired, only replaced; with the right glass it's a 1–2 hour job per door.
