I just watched this video and know at least 8 dudes who successfully removed their dings. I had a little door ding on my new 2024 i5M60 and JUST use a heat gun and upside down can ten minutes ago and removed it. Kept the heat on high about 12 inches away for 3 minutes, then blasted it for five seconds. Did this FOUR times and it's 100% gone. Now i have to try it on my Porsche next. Have a little ding on my 2022 Panamera 4s too.

i thought he was going to share how he got the crown out of the door dent?! ;/

someone hit my car, no license and no insurance 😅 gonna try to do this on my own

It should work but it could crack your paint. Weird.

Not dry ice. Can’t touch dry ice to skin. Maybe an ice cube is what u had

Thats a great challenge, working on a less severe dent in the same spot Audi A4.

If you are reading this: Use a blow dryer on high heat 5-7 inches from the dent for about 2 minutes. You can use an extension chord or inverter or car adapter to power it. Then, immediately following, use compressed air on it. Through Adiabatic Cooling, if you hold the compressed air upside down when spraying, it will get really cold and it will form a layer of liquid ice on the dent. The rapid contraction from this cooling process will probably result in it snapping the metal back to its former glory. Good. If you are working on small dents. If it doesn't work you can try a plunger and hot water but you will probably just make a new dent during the repeated push-in pull-out process. Oh I should also mention the reason you don't skip the heating process on really hot days, when the metal is hot, is because the heating could be uneven based on several variables and also the blow dryer will give you concentrated Heat at that one location and will be hotter. Using a blowtorch like in the video just results in your paint bubbling up. Not worth the risk

Wrong process. Don’t use torch. If you look closely, it did NOT affect the dent… besides, there is no way to get it hot enough with a torch where you won’t also burn the paint. And don’t use dry ice, it is difficult to find and will burn your fingers when you touch it. Correct process that will work on non-kinked small dents. Use HEAT GUN. Heat affected area in a circular motion for 3 to 5 minutes being careful not to damage paint. Immediately after heat source is removed, spray the dent with MG Chemicals Super Cold spray. This is available through Amazon or locally if you have an electronics store in your area. Also, there are medical freeze sprays used for wart and skin tag removal that will also work but are a bit more expensive. You definitely did not apply enough heat in the few seconds to have any effect whatsoever. You probably can fix the dent using your method but it will require a repaint of the burnt area.

How long was this repair?

Thank You for the FREE information. 😊 I've been in PDR for 25 years and never miss any FREE information.

Getting it cold ain't going to do dick you got to have it change temperature rapidly is the point.

Question for ya class- do we take any advice from a man who handles "dry ice" with their bare hands? NO that's correct class, thumbs down.

how much does something like this cost?

This is an amazing repair! I cannot believe you could do this without using a hot box. Well done!

Straw man argument as usual. Small dents like this won’t “pop” back. The metal is too severely deformed and steady. Heat and ice only works for an unsteady, large dent that is “poppable” like those rubber kids toys. And you’re doing it wrong anyway. Apply heat to the concave side and ice to the convex side instead. Doesn’t need to be dry ice and a torch. A heat gun and water ice works well enough. It works because ice causes the cold side to contract and the hot side to expand. The heat/ice is only beneficial for hard to reach or dents that require more force than you can manage by hand. And you must have access to the panel from the inside. If it’s on a door panel, the inside decorative crap must be removed, obviously. If it’s on a pillar, good luck. The dent will never disappear with the heat/ice method. Just gets it less severe so not as much body work is still needed. Only a skilled body repair person can fully remove a dent.

How about Marty Runik? What did keith do?

Marty at TOP GUN was the first to introduce tension and the Fairmont method to PDR and GPR , just giving credit where credit is due.

Great stuff Shane. Cheers, Neil Prodent_pdr 🍻🥃🥃👊🏻

Incredible save! You've come a long way from working on the Beemers. Hollar at me sometime bud...still at Plant 10.0

excellent save! did you shrink it at all from the inside with a power box? bet that took a lot of hours and a lot of coffee breaks

Shane I can't thank you enough for the impeccable and I do mean impeccable repair to my tailgate.....I seriously could not be more pleased. Wow. You have a customer for life brother

That’s my boys taco lol…. I was witness to that bad backing lmao! Nice work bro

WOW !!!

Gorgeous and amazing skill Shane

gracias

Ok, so everyone saying dry ice works put a cooler full of it in your car and go make $150k a year fixing dents, what are you waiting for……..

Incomprehesable!

Put the dry ice underneath and then rub alcohol on the top

😅 idiot

That's bad ass Shane . I'm in the world of hurt with these stretch dents..

1 of all. Not enough heat. You removed the heat too fast. 2 you are not supposed to use ice but freeze cans that can freeze down to - 43 degrees celcius.

Great vid. I need to grab tips for your hammer. Awesome hammer. Was just using her to blend a oil can into a door.

Try using a cold air gun

So many websites give this as advice to remove dents. I don't think any of them have tried it. Only way to get them out is with a dent puller.

It will not work with this kind of dent in such area, on a flat surface like fender or door it might work depending on the thickness of the metal sheet..

Dry ice needs oxygen to work. Put something on the down side of that dent so it doesn’t roll off car. get the small round pieces of dry ice that come in bags. Put one round piece inside the dent. Let it sit. I’ve done it on aluminum trailer roofs and it’s worked as long as the dent isn’t severe with a crease in it.

If you want cheap very cold air or gas put a refill fitting for 1 lb cans in a 20lb propane tank, with a hose with a quick shutoff from Amazon would be ideal, turn upside down and you'll have around -50°f.

Your test was bs

What about liquid nitrogen

What price on this specific repair

Too much talk, not enough action. Just show me how to fix it.

Disappointed, thought he was gonna show how to use them. Too much talk

Killer work!

Brice Kelly is #1

He must also have the shrinking electric box ? Very nice work

He is amazing. There's another guy, Ken Clark. who also does some amazing work.

Thanks for sharing Shane.. Guedes is truly a metal artist… can’t wait to go to the seminar and learn from Brice ,Guedes and you guys…Glad you guys are putting this together !

That’s super impressive Shane. 😮
