NASTY STRETCHED CREASE! | GONE with My Paintless Method!

[@1st_track_dents]

Had a real tough time removing this crease, although I wasn’t going to let it get the better of me! Think I deserve FREE ice cream all year round for saving this panel!

[@woodchuck243]

I agree

[@1st_track_dents]

@Михаил Громов Спасибо, рад, что могу помочь!

[@1st_track_dents]

@@frogmanvc This was a tricky one, as you need to use a lot of force to move the metal back but that always risks stretching the metal further:-)

[@igotaction]

Would love for you to add your time on the dent.

[@1st_track_dents]

@@igotaction Maybe I should stick an old analogue clock next to the dent, i'll have to think of a plan!

[@tomthompson7400]

if i hadnt just watched it , i would never have thought that result was possible , totally outstanding work.

[@murdock6450]

i agree. brilliant job.

[@banksy2012]

You truly are amazing I've never seen such a talented person

[@PeteFinn]

Awesome job, unbelievable! Nobody’s going to notice the minimal texture difference. I’m totally addicted to your repair videos!

[@rathugt4178]

Same here!

[@spitfire1two]

Wish I had a PDR guy in my area as skilled and confident as you. I have a dent at the top of my tailgate and the PDR person I spoke to near me said toss the tailgate and get a new one. I don’t care if it’s looks new when done just want the dent mostly straightened.

[@1st_track_dents]

Hey Michael, sorry to hear that. Sometimes the top of the tailgate can be a difficult one to do because of the way the panel hinges, trying to get a good view of the dent, place your light and work the tools behind can be a challenge. sometimes the dent can be small or not that challenging, just trying to get on it properly is the problem. Maybe that's why the other dent tech's are struggling with it possibly. I hate walking away from an easy dent just because I can't get on the back of it or can't get it in a position to be able to see it when working it. Keep trying, you may find someone who knows a trick or two. Good luck. Jake

[@exceldentremoval]

💯% Quality Repair. I like to keep my heat gun on the panel consistently so that it doesn’t keep cooling and having to heat. The consistent heat seems to help. The video editing is top notch!!

[@1st_track_dents]

Thanks Steven, yes one of those heat gun holding gadgets would come in handy sometimes, I'm always juggling all my tools when carrying out these repairs. Keep up the good work on your channel, it's always interesting to see how you guys in the US carry out your repairs. I hope you're busy over there, all the best, Jake

[@jimk5307]

1st Track Dents - I’ve watched a couple of your projects. Nice work! Juggling? Man, I’ve gotta say between tools and shooting a video with all the thought about video angles and lighting you do very well. Just doing the work an extra hand or two would help and you add in the video management too.

[@franciscogalindo3155]

My main dish when having breakfast is to see two of his videos every day. You are a great teacher. Thank you very much. If your videos had a Spanish translation, you would surely have millions of fingers up. (I like it) Mi platillo principal al estar desayunando es ver dos de sus videos todos los dias. Eres un gran profesor. Muchas gracias. Si tus videos tuvieran una traducción al español seguramente tendrías millones de dedos en alto. (me gusta)

[@1st_track_dents]

Thanks! You can change the KZbin settings to 'Auto Translate' into Spanish and that should help. All the best, Jake 👍

[@Ghostrider-um1rz]

Wow !! you sir are a true master of your trade. Looking at that crease before and after is a testament of your craftsmanship.

[@1st_track_dents]

Thanks! This one certainly tested me. Really appreciate your comment 😎

[@brokewheels5]

What a true craftsman. Amazing work. And humble enough to show where he wished he could do better.

[@garymucher9590]

Not just anyone could do this. It takes a lot of patience and tons of skill. And seems you have both. Bravo sir, Bravo!

[@amoretink33]

I follow many Dent guys like me around the world, I've been a dent man for 25 years I'm ALWAYS learning different techniques. I've bought and and are using knock down tips and screw on tips that you've suggested and now I'm able to say yes to most train wreck dents and It's increased my business!! Thank you Jake!!!

[@1st_track_dents]

You never stop learning, I've learnt loads of different techniques watching KZbin videos of other Dent Guys. You never master this trade, I'm always trying to do things differently:-)

[@marksweetman8765]

Excellent filming and editing. The repair was pretty good too 😂 the customer must have been pleased. Good job 👍🏼

[@1st_track_dents]

Thanks Mark, it has rained here all day for the last 3 days, so I kept myself busy in the dry editing this one. Not sure what's more difficult though, doing the actual job or editing the video! 😁

[@ckane510]

I’ve watched many of your videos. You are the MASTER of body panels!!

[@Shane-Singleton]

Excellent work! I am also happy and impressed that the owner actually bothered to have the dent fixed. I see a lot of small delivery and service trucks and often times they look horrible. It's nice to see a business owner that takes pride in not only his products but the appearance of his fleet. I've seen some ice cream trucks locally that you wouldn't want to approach unarmed.

[@roccoloops]

Major props to you mate. I dont know anyone in the PDR game that has this level attention to detail. I thought knocking back those remaining micro dents from the initial pull would have been impossible!

[@jrcflaus]

That fix was an absolute masterpiece!

[@bandidol200]

You're a bloody genius. Never ever thought that would come out to near perfect. Great job! 😎

[@1st_track_dents]

Thanks! Yes this was super challenging due to it not being original paint, but I was pleased with the result, thanks for watching and for your positive vibes! 👍👍

[@antonhovski]

Im a panel beater for years,and i find it very interesting to learn this method of repair, i know its not going to be easy you have to put a lot of patience and skills to do this job.thanks for this channel its amazing how you do this.big thumbs up for showing it to us.

[@tjones99]

Really trying to figure out how anyone can thumbs down this vid. Outstanding work.

[@Nanogrip]

I've seen some of your older videos on a different channel and you've inspired me to purchased a basic kit of my own. I still can't believe the time and patience needed to do proper PDR, but I am glad that I can make somewhat presentable repairs, and saving money from taking my cars to the shops! Thank you so much, I just subscribed after a few videos on this channel. Greetings from the tiny islands of Palau!

Getting rid on all those popped up bubbles during the process is incredible ...

[@whitsundaydreaming]

Great work. It also explains why wraps are better than paint when it comes to stripes and secondary colors. It can be replaced a lot easier than painting it over.

[@1st_track_dents]

Yes, it would have been much easier if the green part was a wrap. it could have been removed, then repaired and then replaced all in the same day:-)

THIS VIDEO HELPED MY REPAIR 💪🏻👍🏻 Thank you Jake- this video saved me ALOT OF HASSLE I had a similar repair this week, on an ice cream van- on the front wing over the bodyline- 2 tone! RAINING inside a lock up 🤣🙈 uncanny! What I took away from Jakes video presentation was that the metal was different, thinner (horrid) also the paint was very thin from when the conversion took place and was painted up. So I took extra care and spent a lot of time steadily removing the damage and with Jakes knowledge I made a super successful repair. Thank you Jake, well done and look forward to your next BlockBuster! Martin

[@1st_track_dents]

Thanks Troy, that's very useful feedback, glad it kept your attention. Not a lot of people know about PDR, but it's well worth knowing about as the savings compared to a traditional bodyshop repair are huge, so watching this may have saved you some money in the future when some lovely person slams their car door into yours in a car par/parking lot. All the best for the new year ahead 😀
