AUDI WING SMASH! | My Aluminium Repair Challenge!

[@1st_track_dents]

Another Aluminium front wing/fender repaired in the rain! Apologies for my croaky voice, just recovering from a nasty virus, that made me lose my voice!!!

[@xTerminatorAndy]

how long training does it take to be able to do the things you do?

[@1st_track_dents]

@@xTerminatorAndy Hi Andy, that's a difficult question as it depends on your background and abilities. maybe after 3 years if you trained really hard:-)

[@Guy4UnderDog]

3 years? In the rain? Only in England! I wasn't sure whether he meant how long to learn in or just do this car... ,,☺️

[@chrisdixon849]

Another amazing job Jake, well done 😊

[@meatgrinder1744]

How much does this job cost you, with an aluminum wing?

[@alexanderSydneyOz]

An enduringly satisfying about anything British, is that across the breadth of society, the language used is almost always colorfully descriptive, articulate, and refreshingly lacking in cliches and affectations. To put it in language I read and here from just about everywhere else, it is, like, super good :)

An actual panel beater, l thought body repairs today only involved new panels and color matching. It's great to see such a skill and attention in operation. Excellent workmanship and customer service, thanks for allowing us to see your craftsmanship at work.

[@1st_track_dents]

Yes the art of panel beating is slowly disappearing, everything is just replaced these days!

[@Bewareofthedog69]

What can I say Jake, brilliant intricate skill manipulating that aluminium panel. 10 / 10 as usual

[@1st_track_dents]

Thanks, yes much prefer working on regular mild steel!

[@RF-ew3ov]

I'm a pdr tech with 27 years experience, and I'm still learning. I appreciate you showing the tips you're using, and the techniques. Other KZbinrs are impressive, but there's little to learn because they don't teach. They leave us thinking "How did he do that?". You actually teach (it is the oldest profession, I don't care what they say) and that makes the difference.

[@N-Scale]

You are totally a master. I am memorized on every video.

[@MrBadkosto]

I'm from Russia. I live in France. In January I will study the PDR system. I watch your every video. You have a lot of experience. Big respect. Thanks so much for your videos !

[@drsprogg33]

How is studying pdr?

[@MrBadkosto]

@@drsprogg33 You can study on your own, but it is better to study at school. The duration of training is from several days to two months. Studying is expensive. I studied in France. 1 month - 5200 euros. It is very important to understand that after training, you need to train for at least 6 months. It takes a lot of patience both in the long term and when you get the job done. In any case, if you are really interested in this profession, try to learn as much as possible about it.

[@dingking7577]

I cut one of those ratcheting cargo hold poles down to under half and used it for applying lateral tension between two pieces of wood, glued to both sides of deep damage to open it and reduce pressures which in turn makes it move easier and a lot cleaner.

[@evildiesel7850]

Fantastic result getting the panel line sorted - I had a crease in a similar place on my RS3 caused by someone opening their door into it and I know how difficult that detail is.

[@stevejanka361]

Good morning Jake, just a beautiful repair. I sure do wish you were close to me, we have dent guys and they try hard but they are not craftsman. It is all about money and how fast they can get it finished. The way you used that push tool against the building is really clever. You take care and have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

[@markriley923]

Great repair love watching your videos im just over 3 years in to doing pdr and still learning every day and find your videos very informative 👌

[@1st_track_dents]

Thanks Mark, it's all about the hours you put in.

[@DZ-ts2xt]

Am an auto electrician doing installations on-site but lucky me, am working in Australia Brisbane where rain comes up 20 - 30 days per year only, I feel for you my friend, and believe me I know how hard it is to work out in the rain. You are doing a great job, good on ya mate, like my friends Aussies saying.

[@1st_track_dents]

Thanks! I travelled in Australia for 3 months before starting my business and I think I only ever saw rain in Melbourne, although the heat up in the north would be too much for me, I’m currently writing this whilst there is a storm raging outside! just another day in the UK 😂😂😂

[@michelaudet7799]

I was always told that dents on aluminum panels couldn't be brought back! Amazing work!

As a panel beater for nearly 30 I'm amazed what you can do. I seen this done in early 2000 to a poor standard and thought it'll never catch on. How wrong was I . Good job.

[@voicevision3527]

Push hard kid, maybe one day.

[@drunkredninja]

Is there a reason your stick on light is a plain white light instead of the striped ones from the other guys? No clue about PDR but these mesmerizing videos make me want to learn.

[@1st_track_dents]

Every PDR tech is different, I just find the plain fog light is easier on the eyes especially on long repairs:-)

[@stedlocks]

Only just watched this.....another fantastic repair fella! Ridiculously good.....👍

Love watching and learning your PDR work. Your video editing and production it top-notch. My one question is how long did this repair take from start to finish?

[@1st_track_dents]

I started it about 11am and finished up about 3pm, although it always takes longer when filming it:-)

[@donburke4886]

Great work mate... You have a brilliant eye for detail.. Tremendous!!

[@InibrithOne]

Wow! I really enjoy watching your work. I have a 2017 Civic that gets hit every now and then. So far I had success in removing dents. But this one time I found my self against the left rear wheel fender is reinforced with another layer of aluminum? Impossible to remove lows and level it out. Any suggestion on this kind of panels?

[@1st_track_dents]

Rear wings are usually double layered, so glue pulling can help otherwise finding any hole nearby and using thing wire tools etc can help. I also struggle with these type dents:-)

[@billramsey800]

Hi Jake well excellent love the way you break it all down first class. Have a great Xmas from Western Australia.

[@1st_track_dents]

Thanks Bill, Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas too 🎄

[@gavowassy7655]

Love your videos, would be interesting to know at end of videos the length of time taken

[@Waihekeguy]

Do you ever use a line board to cross check or do you find your fuzzy light works best and is all you need

[@1st_track_dents]

Hi Greg, I never use a line board at all, I am trying to work on making a new light board for myself and I may put 1 or 2 lines on it, for detail work. Some of the dents I take on are very complex and reflecting lines on those dents would give a crazy pattern of lines going everywhere which I think would be too difficult to read. I just see so much detail in my soft light, that it just works for me. Each to their own I suppose:-)

Great video. I had a similar dent along the wheel crease in an aluminum (aluminium) Audi A5 fender (wing). I just replaced it with a panel from a junkyard (scrap heap), but I still have the original dented wing. Can PDR be done on the removed part, or is it better to be performed while still attached to the car?

[@1st_track_dents]

Because of the heavy loads when levering the dent out, it is better if the wing is attached to the car:-)

[@ObsesifAdam]

Another amazing work from dent repair master :)

[@funkojordan1055]

Hello I follow your channel I love your work absolute craftsman just a question working with deep dents which way is best to bring up the Dent without leaving lines in the lowest part of the dent is there a formula for it wait to hear from you Thanks

[@1st_track_dents]

Hi, every dent is different, the key is knowing when to change to the right tips at the right stage of the repair. I just base it on experience of what works and what doesn't, although Aluminium moves very different to Mild Steel, so you have to work it differently:-)

[@spautoexportinc5930]
