CAR BODY REPAIR | BIG DENT FIXED WITH PAINTLESS DENT REMOVAL | PDR UK

Massive Dent Repair on a MGZS EV (Electric Vehicle)
In this video I show you how I repaired this big dent using only PDR and GPR methods.
This is the correct way to repair minor dents on Electric Vehicles because there’s no welding involved such as welding tags and pins to pull the damage out…. Instead we use hot glue and rods to pull and push the damage out without affecting any of the electrical components or removing the paint…..
Also in this video I answer your comments specifically regarding the tools that I use, I’ve labelled each one during the video, Thank you for your comments and I hope this helps!

We repair many customers vehicles up and down the country, we are in Beverley and we set aside all the time in the world and look after you if you travel to us.
Paintless Dent Removal or PDR is a method of removing minor dings and dents from the vehicle bodywork without the need for filler and paintwork. This is a highly skilled process in which the dent(s) is massaged from the rear of the panel or sometimes from the front using glue pulling methods.

Looked like that one was fighting back a bit Martin, but you kept your cool and got the better of it! Cracking job as always! 😉

[@dentremover01]

Thanks Jake! Yeah just a bit! You could tell by the tone of my voice and my moaning lol!!!

Hi Martin, Wonderful work, you did look a bit fed up on that one..! Love watching your channel, i find it very calming to watch, and learn at the same time. I have a classic car collection of approx twenty vehicles, i am tempted to buy some tools and have a go at a few car park dings....

[@dentremover01]

Hi W Jones Thank you and yes that MG was horrible to repair!! Such a chewy- plastic feel to the metal but I think I got it! I’m very happy you enjoy the channel! And learn also. Regards trying this, I would definitely try a small course first. You may damage your car and it end up costing you a lot more in re working or ruining a classic and wishing you hadn’t tried it.

[@kielerjim]

Hey.... you are the first dent guy I've seen wearing nitrile gloves!!! Good life saving choice!

[@dentremover01]

Thanks Jim! I try to wear them as much as I can, because the acetone/isopropyl messes my hands up and goes all horrible ! Thanks for watching Martin

After watching this again Martin I have to say this is moved from PDR to PCR (PAINTLESS COLLISION REPAIR). AGAIN BEAUTIFUL JOB!

[@dentremover01]

Hey Tommy! Thank you! I never thought of that! Could be a new part of the industry like GPR! PCR you heard it here first! 🙌🏼

Excellent video and well explained as always in terms of tools and approach. A real game of patience. Watching totally banjaxed panels get fixed, oddly, is very therapeutic to watch. Very happy customer there. Happy Christmas.

Thank You Nigel for your great comment. It was a brain teaser and took a while so I needed patience! End results are great though and satisfaction Merry Christmas Martin

[@levik12]

This should have been a door skin replacement! Job well done!!!👍🏻

[@dentremover01]

Yup I agree! I hated repairing this!! Skins are not so popular these days, I fitted a lot in my time and to get that seal and paint on the edges can be hard. Better a new door or a repair and paint….. but I saved it “just” and my customer was super happy ! Thanks for your kind words

Hi Karol thanks for your comment, I don’t get many jobs where I’m struggling like that one! It just wouldn’t repair! I got there in the end and my customer was very happy so that’s the main thing. I agree sometimes it’s best to walk away and come back to a job Thanks again Martin

[@jamesmarques7245]

Awesome sauce, it takes a lot of patience. I have used glue pulling on aluminum panels works great. Pulled it out enough to do body work and paint.

[@dentremover01]

Hi James thanks for your comment… yes Glue pulling or GPR as it’s more commonly known now is ideal for Ali, because the welding pin pullers are difficult to use (my experience 15 yrs ago) and glue is a lot faster and better for the repair…. You never know you may repair it to an acceptable standard with practice and not have to re paint Have a great Christmas

Do you think lateral tension on that body line would have helped???

[@dentremover01]

Possibly. But I didn’t have the equipment to use at the time

[@dougpeirce726]

Nice work. Curious how the paint will last long term in this area, if adhesion has been compromised and this becomes first place for future rust to occur?

[@dentremover01]

Hi Doug thanks for your comment. If the paint isn’t compromised then there’s no chance of it going rusty in the future. The paint is fully adhered to the damaged panel and won’t change. If the paint comes away or is compromised then a repaint is the best option to re seal the area with fresh paint. Does this answer your question? Thanks Martin

[@dougpeirce726]

@@dentremover01 I don't know that I agree. The paint has been stretched, stressed because of the dent forming and then metal manipulation to get back to it's initial shape. There has to be some microstructure break down in the paint or loosening of the bound to the substrate. It would be interesting how a salt spray test would perform.

[@dentremover01]

Hi Doug. I’m 25 years I have never heard of any PDR repair rust after a PDR repair If the paint does stretch then it would crack or micro crack and then maybe your correct- but all the repairs I’ve carried out the paint has been in 100% condition and therefor not compromised. Great indepth comment thank you it’s appreciated

[@balljennings]

How can I repair a dent which is in the bit that runs under the doors?

[@dentremover01]

If it’s the Sill then it may not be repairable with PDR I’d always recommend speaking with a PDR tech first

[@balljennings]

@@dentremover01 I think its called a rocker panel. Like where a side skirt would be but this car is too basic for that stuff. But I can see that its all one panel which extends up past the fuel flap and onto the roof. So replacing that panel probably wouldn't be worth it. I think it's metal so a panel beater could probably repair it.

[@briandentguy3403]

Well done, that one was definitely time consuming. Too bad those holes were so tiny for that lower trim piece aswell

Hi Brian thanks for your comment. Yes they could have come in handy but I reckon I’d have messed the holes up. I don’t want another like this that’s for sure!! All the best
