HOW TO GLUE PULL VEHICLE DENTS? | See How Its Done! | By Martin Sadler

HOW TO FIX CAR DENTS WITH GLUE.
I hope you enjoy this "step by step" style video...
The damage was caused by a roadside collision as the Golf was parked up, another vehicle had driven too close to it and impacted the rear side creating this very noticeable crease damage.
Our customer really didn’t want to have any paint removed from the damaged area to pull the damage out, any filler or paintwork and had done research on other repair methods such as Paintless Dent Removal and found us online.
He contacted us online and through a number of calls and emails a date was set for the repair. The repair was going to be a “best possible” or a “push to paint” meaning I’d repair it as far as I could but there maybe ripples, areas which wouldn’t fully repair or the paint may come away due to glue pulling this hard!
The repair took around 16 hours to complete starting off with some strong glue pulls along the middle of the main dent, working towards the front of the car, then working back from the other direction to the rear, the rear dent took a good few hours to straighten! And then working towards the front the rest of the damage was carefully lifted out.
This repair was done only by using Hot glue methods or GPR (Glue Pull Repair) using various tools and accessories, and a lot of coffee and patience. I’d say the end results look amazing and as we’d sold this repair as a possible “push to paint” our customer is very happy not to have the side painted at all now…..
I hope you can take away some information from this if your a new dent technician or really interested in the job.
If your a potential customer looking for an accountable technician then I hope you are happy with how we operate, you can see our many repairs and this will give you the peace of mind when booking your repair in. 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.

Hi Martin, I'm a beginner dent removal in France. I came across your videos, and I think they're all great. I like the bump analysis you always do at the beginning of the video. And your work is top notch, Continue if you can, to make us great videos. And hello from France

[@dentremover01]

Hi Lionel thank you for your great comment and congratulations on your PDR journey. I really hope you’re enjoying learning and I hope my videos help if you get stuck. I appreciate your feedback on the dent Analysis and I do try to explain every repair I do for you all to understand it Best of luck Martin

[@dentremover01]

Wow I’m really looking forward to showing you this repair, and hear your thoughts. I hope you enjoy it and if your a new dent technician it would be great to hear your feedback

Top job Martin! Super clean result. I used the Cam Auto glue sticks for the first time yesterday on that deep dented Polo rear arch we spoke about and was super impressed with how well they stuck! I reckon I could have pulled the arch off the car! 😂Joking aside it pulled it out perfectly, so a very happy customer. 😎

I learned something today how to get that reverse crease out of the wheel arch. I imagine the theory hold, same for the edge of a door, bring the edge back to the correct level, and then pull away from the crease or the out side crease to straighten out the wheel arch incredible.

장비 노하우굿~~

[@massimo6770]

Excellent result, your usual very high standard. There is a fact that manufacturers are careful not to communicate and that is the thickness of the used sheets. Recently, here in my part, there was a rather strong hailstorm. In general, the cars (all fairly recent) have suffered medium / severe damage. My wife's 1998 Polo, only two dents and not even deep ... Can you tell me something about the modern metal sheets used? are they really more delicate? only you can give us this kind of information! Thanx a lot.

Hey Bill! Yes a very tough day! But like you say the end results where great! My back isn’t too bad at the moment mainly down to having the ramp, I don’t usually have to strain to repair cars unlike when o was mobile I’d be crawling on the floor Take care for now Bill! 🙌🏼

@@dentremover01 Rear wing panels are mostly rusted so owners are happy to reweld them, repaint.

[@dentremover01]

@akierum I see your point but. This repair and the repairs that I carry out are on newish or very well maintained vehicles where the customers don’t want filler or paint. It’s a big world out there and there’s many skills and techniques for repairing vehicles. If you find it easy to rip off a panel, weld it on and fill it, prime and paint it cheaper than a PDR technician then that’s your skill/technique and I’d love to see you do it on KZbin one day 🙌🏼

[@NewmanAutomotive]

Just found you on here Martin, excellent work as ever, keep it up mate. Thankfully I've not suffered any dents for a while since you did my last one on the ZS EV a year and a half back. Current car is aluminium, how's that to work with? Best regards, Paul.

Hi Paul thanks for your message and thanks for watching! Aluminium is fine to repair it’s just slightly different to work with. Harder to dent too so you should be fine! Take care Martin

[@lysdexic9129]

what would look good is if you took a still picture every so often with no tabs attached and only using the inspection board and then time-lapse all those pictures together, it would be an effective way of showing the progress with respect to body line damage and dents etc. you could see how the bars change as you progress. Each picture should be taken from the same location with respect to the damage. Cheers.

[@dentremover01]

Thank you and sorry for the delay. I use all types of glue but the best and strongest is Camauto collision glue or Keco Flex (same glue) it’s a beast. Also I prefer lines, but on big jobs I use fog as I can see more- lines to finish off
