Hi master, How come the parts you deal with are never abraded (paint)???

[@1st_track_dents]

I only really take on a job if the paint is undamaged, but you have to remember most dents are caused from a plastic bumper hitting the panel and as the plastic bumper is soft, it doesn't scratch or damage the paint. Paint is also a lot more hard wearing than it used to be. 👍

Great video again! Currently I am struggling to get long, thin creases out. If you make a video about one of those that would be awesome. Or just any tips and tricks about those types of creases you may have would help a lot! You're an inspiration!

[@1st_track_dents]

Thanks, yes creases can be difficult to do, you just have to know how to attack them, if you start them wrong they can lock up and become more difficult to do. It all comes with time and experience. But I will see if I can show a crease being taken out in more detail in another video. Thanks for your comment, best of luck 👍

In future video can you show more Techniques more in detail how you create leverage in those difficult areas to reach

That must be the most loved 206.

[@1st_track_dents]

This one certainly was in good condition 👍

[@ruralsavior7218]

Your work is excellent. Interestingly I have two dents not as bad with good rear access but all local PDR companies have said not interested, although many didn’t even respond. All said it needs a body shop. Not expecting perfect but seems most companies just want the simple little jobs or they have brought a few tools and not confident on these type of work

[@1st_track_dents]

Thanks, That's a bit naughty that some companies haven't responded, I would always respond even to say if I couldn't do it. To be honest every dent is different sometimes smaller dents than this are not possible, it just depends on the type of metal, access and how bad the dent is. If a company can't do it, they should at least explain why because their reasons could be quite valid but if they don't tell you, how are you supposed to know. The skill level is very difficult from tech to tech some like just doing easy ones and some ;like to challenge themselves. 👍

[@1st_track_dents]

Yes, these cars were certainly magnets for those front corner dents, did loads of these back in the day! 🚗🔨

[@Demorthus]

Hi! I have a question in regards to when applying the hot glue.. Does it make a difference setting the glue gun between high or low? In reading some manuals they claim the higher heat setting is for a stronger bond but I don't understand if that would have a better or worse effect in respect to its' application for pulling dents. I'd really appreciate any insights!

[@1st_track_dents]

Hi, each brand of glue has a guide of how hot your glue gun temperature should be, most glue brands suggest that you should see smoke coming off the glue, for example the Glexo glue sticks that I am currently using say the application temp should be between 350-385ºF / 177-196ºC

The insurance companies have been using PDR for the minor stuff for some time although the Glue repair systems now are amazing and large crash repair damage can now be repaired without painting so yes, it looks like PDR will be will be considered more when it comes to larger damage with no paint damage.
