I made a BIG MISTAKE!!

[@WahlDesigns]

I respect the fact that you show no fear in taking on a very difficult, challenging job. Jump in and do the best you can.

[@ruthe6017]

This was such a useful video to come across. I purchased a salvage car at auction, and 1 side is a real mess but not structural, worse than this, the other has a few dents that I felt like I could pull myself. My plan was to get 'proper professionals' to do the big stuff while I do the lesser stuff, but none of the 'proper professionals' near me will touch even part of it. I have had the car inspected, I know that it's fixable, I know that I am going to have to pay for some new parts but seeing this, I think maybe I should have a see at what can be salvaged. The car is a wedding present for my wife to be, and the best that I can afford. It doesn't have to be perfect, it has to be good enough, because other than the body work, it's a brand new car! If I make a video about it I will have to let you know, and tag you in. Thanks to you and all the other PDR channels for all the advice and showing what can be achieved.

[@TURBOCAST]

Outstanding work so far! No one is perfect and we all make mistakes. I’m excited to see the next part! Lots of metal moved in this one!! 👏👏👏👍👍👍👏👏👏👍👍👍 congratulations on the young one!

[@marcelolosangeles]

It's great to see you 2 back. I used to watch all of your videos. I have learned a lot from you. Welcome back!!!

[@Petersondent]

Great to be back!! Having a new baby kept us away from the videos but she is almost a year old and its time to get the videos going again!

[@ronnythompson9115]

@Petersondent - Do you have a part 2 to this video? Very curious to see how you tackled the rest of this job.

[@Petersondent]

no, unfortunately, the car went away, and I never saw it again. I was told that he sold it. I offered to work on it more to see how far we can get it but it kind of disappeared. Thanks for watching and commenting. This one was just, kind of a testing the limits video for PDR

[@ronnythompson9115]

@@Petersondent Thats a shame you were making great progress.

[@circuittoys]

Amazing... That repair at a regular body shop here in CA would have cost $5k - $7K

[@musictherapy141]

Bravo! I am encouraged to see you tackle that awful dent job. What things we do for friends. I have a driver door I'm pulling at the moment. Tapping down crowns first then start w glue tabs. I wonder at one point do you just conclude to go via inside panel? 27yrs in industry .great work.

[@victorb2910]

So glad to see you and the wife are back, your content was missed. You are a down to earth Technician and I have learned so much from you in the past. Keep them coming. Thanks for sharing.

[@Petersondent]

Thank you, Victor! It’s so great to see you on here, we are so grateful to be back! Having a baby allowed us a little time off lol but now I gotta get back in the swing of things! She turns 1 in a few days!!

[@victorb2910]

@@Petersondent Congratulations to you and the wife, my wife and I have had the blessing to raise two kids of our own, nothing like it. Start saving now for their education, time goes by so quick.

​@@Petersondenthow much do you charge

[@Petersondent]

@MrHeatAz for this one nothing. It was just a limit test. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@billarroo1]

Great to see U back, well you really picked a job I wouldn't want to tackle.

[@Petersondent]

thanks I would never think of taking on anything that huge either. It was basically to see what could happen with that large of a job. If he brings the car back, I'll try to do more for him.:)

[@MarioAxl]

what is that black glue ? how do i find it ?

[@Petersondent]

the cold glue product is called glexo its a russian brand, look up cold glue pdr products, its pretty specific stuff not many have it. thank you for watching and commenting:)

[@lucapesce3335]

lesson should also be for manufacturers of those expensive pull hammers: there's no need to let overexposed sharp metal edges which are not functional to the tool purpose, they could be rounded and the very tip of the hammer could also be rubberized

[@davidthompson4925]

Great too see you back congratulations on your baby girl.

[@Petersondent]

Thanks David!! She is amazing! It’s great to be back!

[@joelkoonce8559]

You can put a little tape around the tab to keep it in .

[@alpman1144]

Why are you not pressing from inner side in the beginning? Is that not easier?

[@Petersondent]

not really on this one. This was more about moving as much metal as we could with the glue initially. It was all just a crazy limit test. I would never take a job this bad on. Thanks so much for watching. Please check out some other of my videos.👍

[@sadfur8728]

How does the alcohol work in removing the glue? Does it actually dissolve or soften it or just get in behind the glue to the interface with the paint to allow it to be separated?

[@Petersondent]

thanks for watching and commenting the alcohol just breaks the bond with the paint it doesn't actually dissolve the glue. I think it's all formulated so that it works like that. Also, the alcohol we use is 99% is 70% stuff just doesn't work that well.

[@sadfur8728]

@@Petersondent I have the pure stuff available at work, so I'll try some of that. I was just curious how it was supposed to work; I guess it just needs to seep into the edges to break the bond.

[@grandsea2]

​@@Petersondent(disclaimer I'm not a chemist or even a pdr tech so this is what makes sense to me based on my life/work experience and knowledge so take this with that in mind, as I may be filling myself and you full of b.s. and I am equally curious on what others will comment to my comment) it doesn't break it down per sé it reactivates the glue's bonding agents on glues surface and fills in the holes between the particles of the glue and paint surface on a molecular level...acting as a lubricant, then as the alcohol evaporates away the reactivated bonding agent deactivates causing it to no longer be sticky...all this happens very quickly, especially if the impact hammer or pulling pressure caused microfractures in the bonding agents hence glued tabs that were not pulled or really large pads or tabs (like the ones used to provide side tension on a panel) may need to be pulled a little and re-sprayed to allow the alcohol into the deeper areas it couldn't access before evaporating...one of the few downsides to heating the panel...

that one is from elimadent.com I found it to be one of the best. thanks for watching and commenting.

[@772777777777777]

You should have used lateral pulls

[@jeffhughes7589]

I just did a repair on a 2016 chrysler 200 just like that, only I finished the dents. Lateral tension was my friend on this one.

[@sadfur8728]

Seems like taping the head to the slide hammer would be a good precaution if doing so many repetitive pulls in that rapid fire fashion.

[@Petersondent]

good idea it's just more time consuming. I just have to be really careful and I always put my finger around that little opening. Thanks for watching and commenting. It's much appreciated.

[@Swenser]

Firstly, what did the guy do to upset someone. Next, those dents look almost cool enough to leave it as a feature.

[@Petersondent]

as I understand it, it was a drunken kicking fest

[@NotSoHappyEnding]

The solution is a no slip tab holder from CamAuto. No way that buffs out either.

Filming/broadcasting a technical video in anything less than 1080p is criminal... LOL

[@Petersondent]

for some reason, it will not upload in its origional 1080p, tried twice already... technical issues, I am sorry! we are working on it!!

[@sadfur8728]

Watching it on my phone it looks perfectly fine😂. She moved the camera view angles just right while filming to see the contours-

[@Brulserz]

You Will never pop out dents Like those, because there is no room for the metal to go to, since it is stretched. You need lateral tension.

[@Petersondent]

Your right. We aren’t going for perfection on this one, its meant to be more of an example of the possibilities of PDR on this kind of damage without all the fancy extra equipment.

[@Petersondent]

Like this individual, there are alot of people out there who simply want it to be better, not as good as it could possibly be….and not have to spend $1000+ 😉😉

[@mattie3595]

Hope you got partly paid up front…I’d be suspect of someone that had their doors kicked in & their ability to pay…..Lol

[@Flux_Flow]

Buy 2 used doors and call it a day. Anyone in their right mind wouldn't even take a pdr job on like that. Hell, looks like they were playing Demolition Derby with their friends.

[@neffk]

For such a big job, why not take the doors off, put them on a stand, and apply tension while you work? I don't know why you posted this video. The door still looks wrecked

[@Petersondent]

thanks for watching and commenting. This one was just a crazy attempt for free for our neighbors kicked in car. If I had the shop and this was an actual job yes, I could do some real good with that. This was just more of a fun video please check out some of the other more serious content

[@thereview8607]

Is this a joke? Lol why would you even attempt to repair this. This is not even close to a PDR repair…. This is a buy new doors scenario. Your time is valuable, don’t waste it.

[@Petersondent]

not a joke as much as a valiant attempt. It was a neighbor, kids car and I knew it would never come out. I just wanted to see how far I could take something with a couple hours of effort. Yes, he ended up getting new doors.
