How to Remove Dents With PDR Tools

In this video I am going to share with you how I remove Dents where no major damage to the clear coat or the base coat has occured. This kit will work on small, medium and large shallow or deep dents that have not damaged the metal too severely. No power tools necessary just some elbow grease and sounds from the gut.

I have watched several dozen videos of first time users of PDR kits as well as professional PDR techs. Your by far better than 99% of the first timers.

Awesome video!!! My 96 Accord rolled into a house. I didn't curb my tires. I'm not looking for perfection but I don't want it to look the way it does now. This video is incredible! Thanks for the time you put into this.

I was watching with the most straight face up til the end xD

Video is really good. I’ve had really good luck fixing dents, including a nasty one that was on an inconvenient edge. The key is to he patient and don’t be discouraged if you don’t see results right away. My most bothersome dent took about 30 tries but I eventually got it to about 95% perfect. Also, preheating the metal with a heat gun really helps.

Cool video man thanks
I had the same problem on a Volvo xc60 some lady hit me she took off now I'm stuck with it I tried fixing it with a body dent puller and it worked out nicely.

Good video. great content. It is good to show tries with marginal success, as this is reality for most of us at home. I have been watching PDR videos constantly for a year now, and it is a lot harder than it looks, for sure. most successful guys use a combination of everything in the kit at the same time (and make it look easy)

Thanks for the clarity! You made more sense than most PDR pros!

Thanks for the first two musical pieces, some of the best music ever heard on YouTube!

[kevinkline]

I really do enjoy your sense of humor.

[dserenity]

The force is strong in his forearm with this one.

[andrewdomenitzdmd]

I got that stuff too. It works pretty well. You got the deluxe kit there my man.

Buying this kit and trying to figure out how to do body work would be an exercise in frustration.
It takes many years to learn how to pound out dents and properly paint a car.

This was a helpful video. What you can't do with a PDR is as important as what you can do with a PDR. However, you should have tried from the inside by removing the door panel. I think you could have gotten much farther.

Great video; your viewers learn from your mistakes. If you had removed the lock mechanism from the door edge and/or the exterior door handle, you might have been able to get behind the body line and push the dent out with your new tools. You were leaning toward buying a replacement door anyway, so you really had nothing to lose, and could have educated your viewers even more. Thanks again.

Always start at the edge of the dent first and apply a little heat to the metal with a hest gun or a good hand held hair blow dryer! My wife's blow dryer always works for me! LOL

[wyattoneable]

It was worth a try. You crack me up. The "too strong in this direction" was funny.

[simiansam]

Perfect balance of useful information and humor. I had to subscribe. 😂

[hunkydude]

some folks here don't know your a professional mechanic so don't worry about some of these morons that think they know everything about auto body and paint. keep truckin dude.

This shows you exactly why this process is to be left to the hands of highly skilled PDR technicians! Any paint missing, heavy scratches, folds in the metal or damage right on the edge of the panel are signs of damage that may not be fixable Paint-less. You can pull paint faster than you can blink and over stretch the metal outwards, making the damage worst and possibly creating a none fixable oil can effect that will require to replace the panel.
If you care for your car, be cautious and think about it twice!

Denatured alcohol works better than rubbing alcohol. You can get it a hardware store in paint section. It makes the hot glue peal off easy and clean
