@Paul Silcock There are some links in the description:-)

[@ulaygyi5424]

So Good Bro ,I like it. Drive me.

[@milkshakemuncher]

May I ask why you started the dent pulling in the lower section of the door which also happened to pull the larger dent out above where you pulled? And why you didn't start by pulling from the centre of the large dent?

[@cheepenvue3265]

I’ve watched a lot of pdr videos on KZbin and this guy is the real deal! Always teaching and showing the tools he uses and always goes into depths and details on how to get the job done. Really appreciate all the videos you make it really helps me out. Looking forward on your next uploads

[@Djazul3]

Well said they professional down to the point Glenn job he’s pretty amazing.

[@woodchuck243]

Its always a pleasure to watch the magic that you do

[@1st_track_dents]

Thanks, I appreciate you watching:-)

[@DonaldAJr]

This is the first time I've seen it and I'm blowing away.

[@richardcaldeira3684]

Great to see a real craftsman at work, there are so many cowboys around now days.

[@Йурег]

Great combination of dent removal and video editing skills

[@1st_track_dents]

Thank you!

[@georgeowen2083]

I love watching people who have mastered their trade. Amazing work.

[@SpareTimeGearHeads]

Hello from the USA! You're like the GOLD standard for PDR videos! Thanks for sharing your techniques and efforts filming.

[@1st_track_dents]

Hello from the UK Dan, I'm pleased that you like them:-)

[@onomatopoeidia]

You sir, are an artist!

[@mick1gallagher]

And you're not very smart if you believe this works this is a clever for the gear

[@phymadori545]

Amazing and creative job. You deserve to be a Ph. D. in dent removal engineering.

[@d2cdl]

Fantastic. I never would have believed that damage could be removed without a more extensive repair. Video is excellent.

[@nationalenquirer1926]

Older I get, more I appreciate skilled work. Younger me didn’t notice quality until you realize how much it’s lacking in many different industries.

[@relaxingthesoulmind1879]

This guy is an artist

[@robertedwards5937]

You do really good work. That's quite the art of dent repair. I've done body work for over 40 years but never done paintless dent repair.I like watching your videos so keep going!!

[@kiwibonsai2355]

There's a lot of people out there that think they are professional yet I'd rather trust an artist that understands material like this master.

[@sancoffsr]

You have a real talent for this

[@pizzamon795]

You are a master of your craft. You dont have to be good at everything, just be the the best at one thing.

[@ianbiggs7442]

This is so satisfying and therapeutic to watch! I admire you're skill with metal manipulation. Also, as a photographer myself it's a frustration getting the right camera angle avoiding reflections to show the before and after to full effect as well.

[@1st_track_dents]

Thanks Ian, yes lighting is the biggest issue in all my videos, for me it's either raining and the light is poor, or there is harsh direct sun on the car creating problems. I much prefer a dull but light cloudy day for filming! I hope the photography business is going well for you at the moment. Thanks for stopping by and watching 👍

[@Cartier_specialist]

Paint and body shops must hate you. That was impressive work.

[@stevenbell482]

you are a true master of your craft. Nice to watch, thank you.

[@1st_track_dents]

Thanks for watching:-)

[@MuhammadKhan-yl7mt]

Well done for not just sent removal but professional eye catching video.

[@wyattpulliam2839]

You are so good at your job and making these videos! I really appreciate all the time and effort you put into these videos

[@1st_track_dents]

Thanks Wyatt, it's nice to get some positive feedback!

[@tridaks]

Another superb repair, I am always impressed- I have seen some less than average PDR in my time and you restore my faith in its worth.

[@1st_track_dents]

Thanks, It's all about having pride in your work:-)

[@duhwolf6413]

The fine line that divides a skilled worker from a craftsman. Amazing patience an attention to detail.

[@Macrobish]

Just wonderful watching a really skilled tradesman at work. Superb!

[@GG92380]

Vous êtes un magicien de la tôle ! Un Grand Bravo ! (Paris, France)

[@1st_track_dents]

Merci beaucoup! 👍

[@niavvaran]

And we're not gonna tell anyone that you have at least 10 years of body shop experience plus you're just talented naturally. Like I tell my students. It takes a special kinda mind to do such precision task in automotive industry. Nicely done, Bravo 👌

[@franciscoramos226]

Great job using cold glue. Love this tool too! 👍

[@1st_track_dents]

Yes, it performs better than I thought it would, I use it all the time now:-)

[@tonymorse4573]

WOW what a job !! that's amazing work for sure.

[@1st_track_dents]

Thanks Tony 👍

[@davidshareefChTPhD]

This guy is a freaking magician

[@Everyinchofking]

today in autoindastry used only soft metal - it's more effiency more safety and cheap, thats why simle pdr tools can fix any problem

[@hayaakallaah7783]

Why you haven't more subs is beyond me. You're a natural artist. Fair winds from the UK. Zain

[@carmo9693]

It is beyond me why anybody would give you a thumbs down that was superb repair..

[@paulharrison6408]

Brilliant job mate. Amazing work you truly are a master of your craft. Much respect.

[@dean3726]

OK OK OK. I watch these automotive paint and body work channels where comments say “you sir are a master craftsman” and the like. Well. I think that your ability to NOT have to pound sand grind and smooth is real craftsman work. I am blown away by your ability. I think most people have no idea how March damage is done to a car by brute force body work with welders and grinders. That stuff or great for an old school 60’s hot rod restoration but with todays new cars your skills are going to be more popular. Your industry needs to get more people before people bring the auto back to the dealer after that fender bender.

[@Losbass]

Fantastic video and amazing work ! A true master of his trade!

[@peterphoenix6471]

The patience and dedication needed to achieve this skill just trips me out...

[@DZ32100]

Jake extremely outstanding video very very detailed once again it's like a free education amazing you are definitely by far the best PDR Tech I have ever seen and your videos are amazing outstanding sir my hat goes off to you

[@1st_track_dents]

I'm sure you say that to all the dent tech's lol! No seriously thanks, I spent quite a few late nights putting this one together!

[@ハンク1010]

It's a very high level of technology. Even in Japan, what is called a dent repair has come to be recognized. Please continue to give us wonderful videos

[@ozoneswiftak]

I love how you tap with the small rubber tip vrs the bigger tips. Thanks for sharing. I'm bonding my repair. Lol.

[@1st_track_dents]

I bonded my repairs for years before I learnt this skill, I think large filler repairs take just as much skill and patience to get right:-)

[@vigilantobserver8389]

Very impressive. What skills you possess! That cold glue is amazing stuff, too!

[@1st_track_dents]

Thank you! The cold glue system really is amazing, it has changed the way I work, saves time and gives you cleaner repairs 😀

[@dents-b-gonedarwinnt8355]

Loving Glexo cold glue. Ive only had it for a month or two...but im finding i reach for it more and more as time goes on. Another great repair Jake. Thanks mate.

[@1st_track_dents]

Yes, I can't imagine my PDR life without it:-)

[@sadfur8728]

How reusable is the glue, assuming the panel and tools are properly cleaned before use?

[@WowRixter]

First time I've watched a PDR process. Very impressive. A craftsman at work

[@automotivedidact]

Good video. Thank you. The “ cold glue” appear to be a lot like 3M black butyl tape used for window sealant . If it is a form of butyl, it’s a fraction of the cost to purchase a package of the butyl tape as opposed to some of these cold glue systems.

[@mikemacfadyen3655]

I would love to see a customer reaction /reveal montage, people must be ecstatic with the results.

[@carlob517]

as always Jake it's a pleasure to watch you working your magic your videos are very well crafted with your no fuss narration , wish you were here in Oz you get my work without a doubt cheers

[@geneva760]

Great job and explanation. I find watching these almost therapeutical - HA. Have a nice day all. CHEERS from AUSTRALIA.

[@klogjo]

Your a magic man, un-believable, thanks for your video.

[@carlosborow]

Great job! If you check some reviews from the recent MTE, they give some good advice on the use of cold glue, taken from the Russians. They use your normal plastic tabs with cold glue, but they keep'em attached to the slide hammer adapters using hot glue. Other cool trick - they don't use alcohol to clean the panel, they just touch it with some buffing compound, like residues off the buffer pad. They say the glue sticks much better.

[@1st_track_dents]

Sounds interesting, I will have to try some of these methods out and see if they work, thanks for sharing your knowledge:-)

[@Marchello5000]

The Russians are right about this, compound preps the surface better than alcohol for glue pulling

[@robotech1990]

Wow man! I think you are a modern Da Vinci. You are an artist. What a pity we do not have schools for body work in south america. Cheers.

[@colboysigmax]

Honestly, this is brilliant. Total respect for the skill of this guy!

[@mrentertainer47]

Great skills - years of experience must be needed - very good video!

[@1st_track_dents]

Thanks Cliff, yes I have a few years under my belt!

[@ROCKY44]

I don't know who does your video editing, but really *very* classy work!

[@johnbell7552]

Another excellent and fascinating job. Truly first class 👌

[@paulmc9314]

Hi Jake that glexo looks insane, going to buy meself some! Would it be possible to see you make a video of your light and umbrella set up, both look home made but fantastic, really like the soft fade from the fog. Shows so much detail.

[@1st_track_dents]

Hey Paul, yes I've had that idea in the pipeline for a while, but other things keep coming up. I do hope to make more videos like that as I am a 'make it yourself' kind of person as lots of tools I would love to own are way out of my budget. So it is definitely on my list of videos to do. And yes the Glexo is great, it can save so much time as it is quick to use and not messy like hot gluing can be. Best of luck. 👍

[@Cre8tive81]

You sir have talent and skills.

[@pcr8918]

Hopefully won’t need you ..but found you are local. Clear, concise, professional. Liked of course.

[@1st_track_dents]

Thanks Peter, just don't park in supermarket car parks or near your Wheelie bin and you should be okay, they are the main culprits! 👍😉

[@1Dubroller]

Your doing a great job. I see your lesoning to our comments on upgrading your tools. And that's great. If sure saves time. One thing I would point out that would save you more time and make the job easier. Is to remove the door and brace it on a good stand. How ever you were stuck in the rain. That really suck an can through you off on doing a very good job. So i have to give you 2 thumbs up! You did a really great job! I hope you got paid very well for this work! It would of been a long day!

[@ozzymisirli5414]

I've used Jake on many of my car especially on my limited car, hes trust worthy affordable and he definitely knows what hes doing which I can always trust !!!!

[@1st_track_dents]

Thanks Ozzy!

[@danthemans]

you are a specialist and amazing, even making a video not many could duplicate your prowess.

[@1st_track_dents]

Thanks Dan, really appreciate your positive comment! 😎

[@marcofreitas5321]

Great job ! That gives a lot of work, but at the end looks amazing ! Thumbs up 👍

[@CitizenTechTalk]

Jeez mate, I wish you were in Australia, my 2011 lancer has a few parking lot small dints on my passenger side front and back doors and they way you did what you did was amazing!! So much better than anything I've seen over here! You're a true artisan mate. Extremely impressed with your skill!

[@johnsweda2999]

Does the dent removal tools come in a Kit what's the best to get, you can get it from a paint suppliers. That glue looks good can you reuse it after you used it

[@1st_track_dents]

Yes, you can buy a good PDR in a kit form and then add different tools as you progress. The Glexo Cold glue is amazing and I use it all the time and the same piece of glue lasts for a very long time if you look after it and keep it clean 👍

[@barisondude7673]

Camera and editing too is amazing

[@BA-gn3qb]

That very 1st pull took out almost all of the the huge dent above. Nothing like an expert to know where to place the glue.

[@redstrat1234]

Wow, amazing piece of work sir

[@kevincampbell8298]

Wow that cold hue system pulled out at lot at a very quick rate. Great investment.

[@tranjen]

Amazing! I love that at 3:34 the satisfaction of that pull!

[@CC-uh8gl]

After you’ve restored it to its original state will the panel flex if you apply pressure to it? For example if you were hand waxing that part of the panel will it flex and move because the metal has been stretched from the impact? Will the panel want to go back in?

[@1st_track_dents]

Good question, no this panel won't flex back in, it stayed in originally because the deep indentation at the bottom which was holding the panel in. Once that tension was released the door went back to its original shape, it hadn't stretched the metal at all. However some new cars have some very weak doors that push in and stay in from the lightest push. The more pronounced swage/bodylines a panel has the more rigid it is.

[@CC-uh8gl]

1st Track Dents ok thank you

[@550cusso]

Truly amazing,what talent, great job.BRIAN.

I always enjoy watching your videos, great job as usual. Definitely not the best time at the moment here in the UK for some mobile repairs. Thank you for sharing your experience.

[@1st_track_dents]

Thanks for watching, yes this is one of the wettest winters I can remember, we'd better get a good summer to make up for it!

[@mikemacfadyen3655]

I've just recently fallen down this PDR worm hole and this gentleman is thee boss. Great video editing and commentary to boot.

[@1st_track_dents]

Thanks Mike, I really appreciating you watching and commenting on my videos 👍👍👍

[@Kylesweeting]

Haha man, being a 1yr tech I've been spoiled with all the new goodies. I've been using this stuff since day 1! makes repairs much faster and keeps things super clean

[@1st_track_dents]

Sounds like you are a cold glue master!

[@Kylesweeting]

1st Track Dents i wouldn’t go that far! Haha but i use it just about every repair! I love it for shallows and waves. Heat the panel and the cold glue and it almost always works.

[@1st_track_dents]

@@Kylesweeting Yes, I've already learn't a few tips and tricks of my own that make it perform even better, I think I need to get a bigger slide hammer though as I don't get enough travel with the weight on mine:-)

[@Kylesweeting]

@@1st_track_dents yes sir! it would appear the heavier the better! amazing work as always sir! looking forward to the next one

[@paulhughes3961]

I really appreciate high quality work. I'm a perfectionist myself.

I would use that garage 2 meters away to get shelter from the rain, makes huge difference

[@1st_track_dents]

Thanks Andy, in the UK no one really uses their garage to park their car in, and even if they did there would be no room to work inside, you can only just about open the door to get out lol!

[@briansimpson7442]

Love watching these. I've a couple of dents getting removed soon. I wonder if they use the same patience and professionalism?

[@jsEMCsquared]

If you had a slide hammer and a powerful suction cup you should be able to pull out quite a few dents? Maybe air powered suction?

[@ericgraham7026]

Super job! I’m not sure what the difference is between hot and cold glue - other than one is hot and runny, of course. Is it purely a choice or are there specific jobs for each option?

[@YasoVtec]

Hi ...huge fan of all your videos .... I would just love to know or have a link to a video of yours where u show the tools u use and where i can buy them ..especialy the tools u used in this video ...thanks

[@1st_track_dents]

Hi Niyazz, thanks for your comment. I usually leave some links to tools in the description, I don't have a video of all the tools I use although I may look to do that in the future. All the best to you 👍

Amazing jake. As always.

[@EXTREMERC416]

I always loved cars i wanted to become a mechanic but everything is electric and more complicated to work on and dirty. I was thinking about fixing dents on cars but i think you have to be an special artist for that job

Amazing work I have a door that looks like that took it to two body shops and they both said door shell need replacement 2500 lol I will try pulling with the cold glue and slide hammer
