I do believe in PDR repair on some dents and being in the auto body trade I did use a PDR tech on an SUV I had with a 3 stage white paint job with the factory finish that made me go the PDR way on a door that had a golf ball size indent repaired, I was pleased with the results and it would have cost more for paint then I was charged for the whole job.I asked the PDR tech how he went about fixing the dent and he explained that he messages the dent out and taped any high areas down and says it isn’t always a 100% result but by pushing the dent out and tapping the highs down to mimic an orange peel effect to take your eye away from what was a dent that would have gone under the knife otherwise,It being a small dent it was a no brained to choose a PDR tech ,I completely understood the reason and his technique.This was before glue tabs and the new techniques that took the PDR trade to another level to be able to remove much larger dents ,even dents on body lines, but when I see PDR tech removing dents on a panel some body/paint techs would replace or repair and see how the PDR tech’s remove most of the dent,I still see the dented area having a large amount of highs and lows ,then by tapping these crowns down and ,or up and a wet sand and buff then it all looks new. I just find it amazing with the panels getting so much thinner and the way metals are shrinking and expanding while repairing it then see the results achieved ,it would seem the time and everything that one would need to do to repair a large dent so a customer would see it as a finished repair is beyond amazing. I guess that is what years of learning these new techniques and the advancement in tools making it possible for a PDR repairs of such a large area possible is almost unbelievable but amazing at the least.

I have about 4 little dents / bends / stretch area's to be worked out and ive gotten body work quotes of $6 to $800 strictly pdr from 1 guy and the other is almost $1200 estimate with body work and painting. Trouble is nobody is this good over here in my area with per so pricing is extremely high with little to no competition.

Great informative video. I’ve picked up a dent in the rear arch of my S-Max, I took off the inner wheel trim to use push bars from inside the wheel arch and discovered the rear wheel arch appears to be double skinned. Just wondered what’s recommended for double skin wheel arches? Would Pull rods be best?
@1st_track_dents7 ай бұрын
Thanks! Yes, most rear arches are double skinned apart from a few exceptions like some Citroens/Peugeots and BMW Z4 to name a few. You would either have to glue pull the damage out, providing the paint is factory original, otherwise you would have to remove internal trims or the rear light and use longer push rods and hope that there is sufficient access to get cleanly on the dent. Rear arches can be quite tricky to do, front wings generally are much easier due to the access, unless there is a washer bottle bolted underneath obstruction which can be the case sometimes. Good luck and thanks for watching 👍

Jake, a ever great work, but I can't help thinking that unless you did the customer a special deal on labour that it would have been much cheaper to fit a replacement used wing, especially as this is/was a popular colour for this car at the time??
@1st_track_dents2 жыл бұрын
Good question... Maybe if you could get the wing in the exact colour and know how to replace it yourself, but if you don't know how to replace a wing then you would need to take this to a bodyshop and pay for someone to strip and fit this wing and then by the time you add that cost up of the wing and labour it would probably come to more than what I charged. Also it is very rare to find an undamaged second hand wing and even if you did, there is no guarantee that the silver paint finish would match exactly as colour fades slightly over time. Even when I worked at BMW if you swapped a silver bonnet on a new car with another new car of the same model and year, you could sometimes still see a difference in the colour. Most used panels i've ever seen on Ebay etc are mostly all damaged in some way with either minor dents or scratches. But yes, in a perfect world if things came off easily and were replaceable by the end user without having any knowledge or skills maybe it would be cheaper, but then you are then throwing a perfectly repairable panel away and creating unnecessary waste. So I understand what you are saying but I still think the best option here was to repair. 👍

Thanks Joseba, the slide hammer I use is quite old and the company I bought it from went bust a few weeks after I bought it! Have a look on your local PDR website for a decent one, here in the UK you can try Keco UK or Pdr ProTools 👍

@@1st_track_dentsThank you for your reply I have just buy mine from the website you have recommended, can I ask you something ? What glue would you recommend ? I have just received a few tools from pdrprotools in the UK such as the Glexo cold blue and with just 1 big metal tab and hot glue and plastic tabs with different sizes for the smaller dents. The cold blue works great heating the panel first but as I don´t have at this time smaller metal tab sizes I have tried with the plastic ones but for some reason the glue sticks very well to the panels but doesn't stick to the tab at all, is there any advice you could give me as I am not sure what I am doing wrong ? I am using the wrong glue? The glue I bought from them is the show white glue. Thanks !

@@mercuryin1 The cold glue only really works with the large metal tabs which come in the kit. The smaller plastic ones work best with the hot glue. I find you can't go wrong using Glexo Hot glue with the Gang green tabs like these ones: kecotabs.co.uk/products/gang-green-tabs-no-ovals-variety-pack-gssvp32-1 Glue pulling takes a bit of trail and error to get right, the panel has to be really clean and the way you apply the glue and the wait times for it to go off are all very important for good adhesion. You should maybe book yourself on a PDR course if you are serious about getting into PDR as it will help you a lot. 👍

Do you make house calls in America?

Unfortunately not as I am based in the UK. The USA though is filled with some amazing PDR techs, so I am sure you won't have to look far for the right person 👍
