Thanks Myke for the detailed video. It provides a good insight to your Dent Trainer videos which I'm considering subscribing to in the near future.

[@johnbrevard5966]

Bravo Mike, I have a Cadillac dealer in Pennsylvania and we use several guy's,, some do fine air brushing but we really try to use Paintless,, You truly are one of the best!

[@americaninfidel556]

Thanks for the great video Myke!! These are very helpful for those of us who can't get out to take your class. My dream is to one day learn under you. Thanks again!!

[@1karwah]

[@mattarmijo5394]

Thanks for cleaning up my work 😜 Good commentary

[@emmettcoen]

Seriously good vid Mike! 👌 Great job

[@tommcdaniel4900]

I am brand new to trying to learn about fixing dents even though I have had the tools for years but never used them. I was too busy in my paint repair vending until I got seriously ill from the chemicals I was always dealing with. I happened to come across the YT video (one of the first I found) about dent trainer. I was hooked!!! Man, I can not say enough about the quality and knowledge of the training. I am like most guys/gals that want to learn pdr but can not afford the thousands of $$$ it takes to go to a school. It's great to know that subscribing to this site is as good or perhaps even better than dent trainer. Thanks for sharing. Both sites have a two thumbs up from me!!!! :)

[@edgu71eg]

Tom McDaniel there's a school?

[@shaunrisby7150]

Hi Mike, I am from the UK, been watching your vids for several years, I am really struggling after 4 years to get rid of distorsion still, any tips would be appreciated sir. You make it look so easy

[@AnasDrifter]

Thanks for great video Mike I’m about to start learning PDR, hope I’m in the US so I can take training with you What is your recommendation to start understanding PDR from scratch Thanks

[@hanishahroor]

hi, would you please update us with part number of the sharp tool you used in this video, Thank you

[@colinjordan5889]

Very informative Mike

[@denttime]

Thank you.

[@antonbakke7822]

What would I look for on a PDR tool website to buy the “condoms”? I can’t find anything under tip sleeves or covers

[@profvictorrios]

Eso this eas awesone!

[@huskygirl505]

I do auto inspections for the auction. And when we look for pdr holes--- standard is 1-2 pdr holes on a panel is acceptable. Anything more on a panel is where it affects the resales factor.

[@MoiDj22]

Mike, if I'm not mistaken, I had work on Cadillac XT5 and you can get access by removing the striker and pushing a plate with threaded holes, just bring back the plate and replace the striker, not sure if this model is the same as the XT5 crossovers. Just a tip if you ever have to work on that specific model. Great job and very informative on your videos as always!!! Cheers.

[@denttime]

MoiDj22 thanks but the angle would have been much too hard for any tools to reach the back deep dents on the lip.

[@MoiDj22]

Dent Time - San Diego Dent & Bumper Repair Right, that was a great clean up you did there!

[@emrah2726]

Awesome

[@spirit390wesley6]

Thanks

[@user-yr6vv6go1m]

Спасибо. Veri nice.

[@francisckelemen1040]

Heloo, cant fix this small dents whit hotbox faster as with a tool ???

[@m.c.goldsdetailing7829]

Yeah. This is my calling. 🤜🤛

[@Ashbidoof]

Nice

[@82weeks94]

Where did you get the light

[@jonnaleenojonaleeno4786]

Very good Mike..... it is a super skill you have, and as an interested viewer and retired aching mechanic your excellent video can only reveal what is happening on the outside of the skin of the vehicle , but the bulk of the skill is the unseen fine manipulation of your dent tools , and angles of applied force after "God knows " how many practice panels . Please be the first to use a medical camera to show whats happening on the inside of the panel ........Go on ...you can do it ....prove you will take this on-board ! . Go for it ....take the challenge .

[@denttime]

Jonathan Hewitt Thanks but honestly I have a lot of videos that show the backside of a panel with tool pressure being applied on denttrainer.com however that’s not as important as understanding how to read your reflection because the reflection is telling you exactly what your tool is doing.

[@emmettcoen]

How often would you cross check Mike?

[@mmadavey]

Just have to ask. Do you Slap a little paint on he hole you drilled and put a grommet on it? I’m assuming you do because obviously that is a place for rust to start.

[@denttime]

Mark D we use a weather proof silicone sealant with a very flush fitting tight plug. Never had one rust problem.

[@reichtso2011]

Hello Myke, What was the tool used down the door? Many greetings from Germany

[@denttime]

Hello! Yes It’s from pdrfinessetools.com #245

[@SCH00NY125]

What was the tool used down the door? pdr finnesse?

[@denttime]

Steven Schoonover it was. I’ll add the tool # later on today with kink.

[@shaneabbycornelius2575]

i started on www.denttrainer.com over a year ago. I can describe how fast i grew and how much i continue to learn on this training website! its extremely affordable and a tax write off. this video is a drop in the bucket on www.denttrainer.com. Myke and John are fantastic teachers!

[@denttime]

Hey thanks for the kudos Shane. Appreciate the shout out. Super glad you enjoy pdr tutorials.

[@amahaasla6367]

thank you, mike, hi from russia

[@pezzaduva7086]

Hi Mike Why don't you use ghost lights instead of the line boards

[@denttime]

pezza duva not sure what a ghost light is but if you are referring to a fog, I just prefer lines because it’s the best pattern for me to understand everything that is going on with the damage.

[@pezzaduva7086]

OK Thanks Mike I just see lots of Techs using Fog lights but I can see your point Thanks. Keep up the good work!

[@MrTimdtoolman1]

Excellent video Mike. I was a Auto body technician for about 15yrs. and someone told me that it's much harder for an ex body tech to learn PDR, would you agree?

[@denttime]

Tim datoolman yes I do believe body men have more of a challenge. This is a finesse technique and takes tremendous patience. It is also completely different from Autobody work all together.

[@MrTimdtoolman1]

Thanks for the response, I guess that's bad news for me, haha! I would have to retrain my brain to look at the dent in a new way I'm sure. You do great videos. Keep up the great work.

[@denttime]

Tim datoolman it’s actually more mind set. If you finish tasks that are challenging then you can do pdr. If you give up easily in life on things you start like goals, then pdr is definitely not for you.

[@MrTimdtoolman1]

Dent Time - San Diego Dent & Bumper Repair Rite, I am very detail oriented and I complete challenging tasks, I don’t give up easily if ever on a challenge so I think I have that aspect covered. Thank you for your feedback.

[@FraterSolzai]

Denttrainer.com awesome nugget man.. thanks.

[@XBJAJ]

Mike how much is the course in order to learn to do this?

[@denttime]

depends how many weeks. you can private message me for cost.

[@JavierFernandez-jo8te]

Hi Mike I’m starting my own PDR business and I am very interested in taking your classes. I currently work in a very bus’s body shop and I see the opportunity to tap into the PDR side. I am a car guy I enjoy working on cars sound systems, detailing, customizing all type of vehicles. I live in Northern California and from your videos I see your based out of San Diego. How can I get information on attending one of your classes or if you could give me any advise how to go about getting certified. Mike thank you very much for your time and I look forward to watching all your posted videos. My name is Javier (Javi) thank you.

[@denttime]

Javier Fernandez awesome thanks Javier. Yes please email me [e-mail] and I’ll be happy to send you the information. Thank you.

[@jagmeetsmann]

Does this process scratch inside of the metal ?

[@denttime]

Jay Mann sometimes depending on the Tool tip. But not severely to cause anything alarming.

[@jagmeetsmann]

Dent Time - San Diego Dent & Bumper Repair please share the link for the rubber tool tip. Thanks

[@archiemegel1013]

Yes it does scar the in side After a year the panel will rust

[@professionalbaddass]

I work at a caddilac dealer.i get these all day but usually it's hey this cars sold and just detailed it customer waiting can you get this dent out real quick...smh...yeah give me 30 mins..i hope for the best .sometimes I surprise myself

[@jgreyes69]

Great intro! Thanks for sharing how to clean up the babies and not make any future babies haha! Awesome content!!

[@siyuanzuo3750]

Love the "condom" analogy...

[@Noname-lk2ol]

He love you long time back my friend

[@vicentejunior8031]

O:-)

[@donkelly5659]

I was a member of Dentrainer. I enjoyed the videos and would enjoy referencing it again during my down time however, your policy for cancellation is unfair and should be illegal. The day of cancellation you shut people down regardless of whether they have more days left that they have paid for.. This forces people to try and cancel on the last day of their contract. As for myself, I was out of town on this day and was charged for another month on my Visa card due to the auto renewal clause. Sounds like an intentional money grab by greedy people. I think your videos are among the best and clearest on the internet, but for this reason I will never subscribe to dentrainer again.

[@billarroo1]

So that's how babies are made, ???
