So you want to know how Hail Damage is repaired with paintless dent repair.
Today I am going to show you the professional way that we take hail damage dents out from a car using PDR. There are some DIY Dent Repair methods that may work for you but most probably won't. You may have heard of using dry ice to take dents out or heating up the dent with a hairdryer and using a can of compressed cold air and that's gonna pop the dents out for you, maybe you can just pop them out with a plunger or suction cup. I have even heard people say they just leave it out in the hot sun and this will cause the dents to pop right out. The problem with these methods is you may run into issues with damaging the paint.
Using Paintless Dent Repair to take out the hail dents is the preferred method recommended by vehicle manufacturers and insurance companies.
First off you can see underneath the hood that there is a bigger dent that is out in the open. We've got a special PDR tool with special tips on it that we use to get on the underside of the panel and then we will likely just push up the metal.
With this method of paintless dent repair you could try to do-it-yourself but if you don't have any experience with it could be difficult because of the hand-eye coordination that is needed. We use our special PDR lights to know exactly where we are pushing the dent from underneath and we make several small little tiny pushes pushing up every little spot.
Some people have come to me and said they tried to remove the hail dents themselves and they have just caused further damage that may not be able to repair anymore with PDR. What happens is if you get in there and you push on the dent and you think you just gonna pump it out you actually bust the paint by pushing too hard or you can make little marks in the paint or in the metal from pushing too much.

this guy is clearly an expert in with paintless dent repair. Just based on how he took the time to explain, I would definitely choose excel dent removal
Thank You +Wade Parker
By far one of the best ive seen. To see top and bottom views is just awsome..Thank you for explaining and posting. Ill be subscribing.
Thank you! I appreciate the great comment.
I just published a new video that shows the repair from both sides.
➡️ Check it out ruclips.net/video/8_rHhNLtMZA/видео.html
Tons of tent hail repair places opened up here in Texas after the hail storm. I’ve always wondered how they take care of those dents.
Thanks for watching how paintless dent repair is used to fix hail damage.
Many times when there is a large storm, there will be many PDR techs that will come into town to help with the large amount of damaged cars.
Insurance In Canada writes all these cars off. Cost of PDR is insane, so they call it a day and write you a cheque.
This is the best PDR video, thank you for demonstrating both angles.
@1:40 Did anyone notice the several Kilo's of Hash used as sound proofing? lol
HA! I was on bricks of weed... but yeah, me, too.
no, i thought it was the engine!
lol I was just sitting here watching and shit a brick when I saw it at first..... I realized it was formed styrofoam, but still!!!!!
👏🏼👏🏼Very well put together explaining the entire process of removing a dent for the customer! Awesome job guys!
Thanks! I've had many customers tell me they appreciated the video showing the process of hail damage repair.
So that's how it's done. Thank you for posting.
Awesome, clarified & straight-forward explanation in a nutshell, thanks for posting!!
Appreciate it! Thanks for checking on the video. I’ve got more on the channel. With new ones coming out. Subscribe if you would like to see them. 👍
That is an awesome way to do a repair like that. Thanks you for sharing!
me with my camaro that i just bought with 70+ hail dents: 👁👄👁
I've got like 4 in my car and 3 are on the roof. One is on the hatch which I'm replacing the panel due to other damage.
My e36 that I’m putting an rb25 in is basically covered in hail damage I wanna say over 500 dents
Best explanation I've seen, thank you:) Going to be doing this for the first time next week with this technique
That's Great! If this is your first time trying PDR, then I would suggest practicing on a scrap car or panel instead of a newer car. Just so that more damage is not caused. Good Luck!
Thanks for the vid. This seems to be the most SENSIBLE method.
Very nicely done and expertly explained - Excel Dent Removal knows their stuff. Brilliant demo - Thanks for posting.
Very helpful. I inherited my late father's convertible and unfortunately it took some hail damage, the worst of it on the hood (thank goodness for soft tops). Going to give it a go to repair the worst of it where accessible and perhaps have the pros take a look at the rest. Very useful video you've presented here, thanks for posting.
I have the same story As you l have inherited a car from my grandfather I now want to get the car fixed properly
Finally a legit explanation and this here man is the real deal. Excellent video! I wish all vendors were like you.
👊 Thanks!!
Very interesting explanation of how hail dents are removed
Thank you for this. Gonna give it a shot.

Great video with excellent information on how hail damage is repaired using paintless dent removal.
+AdPro Media Solutions Thanks for Watching!
Excel Dent Removal But how can you fix dents on the roof of the car? Remove all the upholstery or something? What about dents on plastic trim pieces??
The plastic parts of a car are less likely to get dents. If they do, some can be removed with PDR. Other times they just get replaced.
This video shows how I removed a dent in a plastic bumper. ruclips.net/video/Z7emp5w9Udc/видео.html
Hey +Smart Feller , Great Question. Thanks for asking.
When having to repair dents that are in the roof panel of a car, we do have to remove the interior headliner. This can be done and put back together without any damage when done by a professional with experience.
Here is a video that shows how we repair dents in the roof of a car.

my brand new 2017 Jetta was in a hail storm. had like 27 hail dents i think. they popped all of them out last week. my car was ready the next morning, and now she looks brand new again! amazing how they can do this without repainting the car.
Hey that's not that far from Chippewa Falls. Too bad I moved back to Texas. I might attempt this myself. Thanks for the video, I found it to be educational.
Awesome video only one that actually taught me how
Excellent!! Thank You!!!!
Great video and thank you for the detailed explanation.
Thanks for watching!
Great video and quality workmanship.
Thanks!! +Tim Dyar
I learned a lot!! The best lesson I learned is to let a professional like this guy do the work. Who has the time , the lights , tools, and shop to do this type of work without damaging paint?? I replace hail damaged roofs and homeowners are particular about their roofs, if you think they will be relaxed for a novice to work on their vehicles than I have a mountain range here in Colorado I would like to sell , includes mineral rights....
Thanks for the comment. I appreciate that!
Best demonstration on youtube. Plus you are very good at your craft too. Thanks
Thanks!! +Telelikeitis I am glad you enjoyed it and were able to learn from watching. You can see some other dents being repaired on my channel.
I was successful pulling a dent that was in a large rear quarter panel using a large amount of hot water and a plunger. It only took a small amount of force to pull it out. I did have to do it a second time because I let go before the metal had cooled. No cracks. But this was mine.
Best video by far!! Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video
Thanks for checking out the hail repair video. +Dent Time - San Diego Dent & Bumper Repair

Thank you too!
This a good video. I remember watching it a couple years ago. Lots of views!

Awesome guy. Very informative & friendly. Thanks 🙏

I’ve had many people come to our PDR shop here in Blaine from the recent hail storm in the St Paul Minnesota area and say how much the video has helped them understand the dent repair process for hail repair. They have said it helps them feel confident that we can properly repair their car for them.
That was awesome I always wondered how this was done. That guy knew what he was doing!
Thanks! I appreciate the great comment.
very good best guy i've seen showing & explaining how, onya mate!
Wow, thanks!
Amazing work!
Thanks a lot!
The hot sun in the summer actually removed most of the hail dents on my Toyota Supra. I live in Texas, however. I made a point to park it outside all summer. I had extensive hail damage and my insurance dropped the car from our policy (bumped to liability!) After all of the hail damage is now fixed (by mother nature) I will be shopping for another policy!
Owner of a 97 supra myself...
What!? I've never heard of that! I'm in Texas to and my vehicle got plummeted by hail and I'm shopping around because most shops want to replace my roof, hood, doors, whole thing and take 20-30 days to do it! My insurance will only cover a rental for 2 weeks.. It's just a lot to take in. So most of the dents popped out?? Amazing!
+lovelylouro You will want to look for a company that specializes in Paintless Dent Repair or request that the body shop use paintless dent removal as much as possible for the repair of your car.
Thank you!
ellie4cats stop fucking lying . I live close to dallas tx I have a car lot and I buy cars that sit in the sun and hail never fixed. That's stupid and I think your car is fucked and your hoping if you say it enough it might come true but it wont .
Thank you for the short tutorial.
Thanks for Watching!
Learn something new every day :)
good job
Hail yeahhh! brilliant! Excellent video.

+Paul H Thank You!
haha! finally found a RUclips channel by me! I strongly recomend going to the professionals! I have a 2013 F-150 that got hit by hail damage about a year ago. I thought the truck was totaled. Because professionals used the techniques that this gentleman has shown the truck looks flawless as if it was never hit by a single thing. Give these guys a call the headaches not worth it! great video!
Thanks for commenting +Martin Olson
That's why there's youtube, now, and for some time to come. 👌

WOW. We just had a 2015 Outback totaled from hail damage received while visiting the Dayton area during the 2019 Memorial Day tornado outbreak. Now we understand why. Thanks for a very informative video.
That is perfection.. Amazing skill.
👊Thanks!!
I’m am not a professional but, I do it all myself. Comes out perfect every time. Plenty of practice cause I have teenage drivers.
That's good to know. If you can get some perfect results every time, then it might be a good idea to connect with a local company to help them out and make some extra money on the side.
LOL. I had gone to a local Tented Hail Repair place that set up after we had hail. Lots of cars.... The number and shapes of rods was amazing, as was the lights used. My wife's 13 Lacrosse has a lot of fairly small dents, but she opted to not get them fixed as she has $1000. deductible and it would cost her either way....but the thing that you could have added to make your business sell more is the damage to the TOP of the car. Where you have to remove the lining, etc, to show what needs to be done to even get to those pesky little and large dents. More to the work than it looks like.

Yes, there a many videos and sites that mention *how to repair hail damage* . Most of those techniques do not work and they are not the way that professional paintless dent repair is done. Thanks for watching and the comment!!
I was caught in the same storm. I was worried my car is going to be totalled :(

Excel Dent Removal how much would 2 of those dents cost to fix or should cost around
Amazing
Thanks
THANK YOU! You actually showed underneath what you were doing unlike many other videos here. I would like to learn this myself. When you are pushing are you pushing right in the middle of the dent or do you start from the edge of the dent and work in? Also where do you buy the tools and what brands or ones do you use? Thanks
Thanks! Most times we start in the center of the dent. There are some times we will start on the edge but this will be a crease. It all depends on the damage.
I have tools from A1 Tool, Dentcraft tools, Edgy Tools, Pro PDR Solutions and a few others.
@@exceldentremoval Thank you.
Just liked, video can be found now
excelente video soy de Perú donde lo venden
I was able to fix a couple of large bumper dents with a heat gun - after heating, I just reached under the body and pushed the dents out with my fingers.
Yes. That method works great for dents in plastic. Not so much for the metal panels.
I even have a video on my channel showing how to remove a large dent in a bumper.
great video though! I just bought a brand new truck 2 weeks before a huge hail storm hit last week.
+Ryan Meeks You must be from San Antonio too!
+Victor M lol yup. I was on the north side by i10 axed 1604. lucky it wasn't as bad as the east side over by Kirby
Yeah, I live north central. just put a new roof on last year and it just got totaled. Truck and Suburban both got dinged pretty good too.
exact same thing happened to me. in northeast kansas tho. just bought a pdr kit from ebay
Omg no way you’re in Blaine!!! What are the odds I am right next door! I might just stop by now and not try it myself 😂
You should stop by! It might save you the trouble of trying to fix all those dings yourself.
Hello! I love your video, I've been wanting to learn how to do paintless dent removal. Where is this technique taught and how much you reckon a specialist gets paid by a shop to do this work?
There are a few options for paintless dent repair training.
One are “training schools” where you get 1-2 weeks of basic skills training. They may also supply some basic tools. After this training you will ha r to practice for at least 6 months to two years to get good enough to work on customers cars and get good results.
The other option is to get training from an experienced tech that can train for 1 - 4 weeks. This will be the basics but can also offer some more advanced training. Either at the same time or in the future after some “at home” practice.
As far as tech pay. This can vary. Some places may pay hourly and others on a commission basis.
Most techs are independent companies and work for themselves.
If you are interested in learning more about PDR. I would suggest checking out Dent Trainer. They have an online monthly subscription where you can see if it is something you want to pursue and may be able to practice on a few dents to see if it is something you can do.
Thanks for the video; is there any risks of damaging the clear coat whit this process? It might be noticeable now, but would the paint/clear coat be impervious to color change for years to come?
Thanks again!!
CJM
Not at all. I’ve been doing PDR for over 20 years. I’ve never had anyone come back because of a problem with the repair.
I’ve even had cars that I’ve fixed with dents or hail multiple times over the years. I’ve been able to reinspect them. And there are no signs of the previous repairs being done.
I learned how to repair hail damage
no you didnt .. pay up!
Awesome video! My car just got pounded today. If I lived in Blaine instead of Denver, I'd schedule an appointment to bring it over. 😩
Thanks! I appreciate that. I just saw the reports of all the hail damage in the Denver area today.
What area are you in? I have connections with some of the best paintless dent repair companies around the country. I can message you their info.
12GaugePadawan I could use some resources bro im in Lakewood area
Organic_GrowLife Hey, I'll try to get a couple for you to check out.
That'd be awesome! I'm here in the Central Denver area, but anything in the Denver Metro would be great since everything in the Denver Metro area is only a 30 minute drive. :)
+12GaugePadawan I sent you a message through RUclips. Check it for your info.
It takes forever! Im learning glue pulling. Im pretty much terrible with the rods at the moment. However i am getting quarter size dings down to a pinchmark the size of a dime often. PDR is very hard and im pretty good with my hands, sculpting, etc and struggling. I wanted to let a pro do it but my car wasnt worth much just cause of age. It was in near perfect condition before the hail storm. Rear bumper clearcoat was starting to fade and thats it. Anyway my insurance totalled the car due to the amount of tiny dings. After buying it back i realized its a salvage title now so i have to get it inspected....lol. No broken windows just about 400 dime to baseball size dings. But needs inspection and rebuilt title in order to be registered. So after about no joke 30 hours of glue pulling and 4 hours of rod nonsense its starting to look good. Sadly i overpulled some dents and made some oil cans in the beggining and will have to drop my headliner to get somthing like a wedge anvil in there to pound the nonsense down but better. I would say equivilent to the best of the worst new pdr techs....lol.
Glue pulling dents was never the standard method of PDR. It all started with rods and hammers.It's best to learn and understand metal movement from pushing before ever using glue to fix dents. But it sounds like you had some success. Which is good. I spent 40-50 hours a week for about 6 months of training and practice before I was consistent on removing even small dings.
@@exceldentremoval glad to hear that. Pdr is very hard. Very labor intensive, very risky as well seeing all the things that can break. I was thinking about changing careers and doing some type of pdr training but a came to the realization the jobs will only be nice cars of arrogant a holes getting pdr done outside insurance.
there are a ton of hail damaged cars here in Colorado where I live, i want to get into selling hail damaged services like this to make some sweet moolah , but most companies i have seen are like some roofing companies that magically appear when hail storms hit...some have been around for less than a year , anyone know of any credible companies that do PDR and do it well with good reviews in Denver?
Excel Dent Removal very good video. Do you recommend using glue pulling tools to remove hail dent on aluminum hood, what is the best tools to remove hail dent on aluminum hood?
+roberto gutierrez Thanks! Glue pulling aluminum dents can be very difficult. The metal does not react the same as steel. While it can be done, it can take many try’s to get it out. And usually only works for very small dings. I’d prefer to push them out from behind the panel if it’s possible.
Aluminum hoods usually require some extra, consistent heat on the dent to help make it easier to push out and usually a sharper Pdr tool with presise pushes.
@@exceldentremoval thank you, I really appreciate your videos, you are a professional
Would love a recommendation for the Albuquerque area. A few shops I called want to do a claim. I'd like to pay since it happened before I purchased the vehicle
Hey. I don’t have anyone at the moment in that area. I’m trying to check with my community and see if there is someone I can send you to.
Otherwise, just let the shops know that you are paying for the repair. The insurance won’t cover the damages anyway if they happened before you owned the car.
If you can receive messages through YT. I’ll send you a number for someone in the area.
Or you can contact me on Facebook and I’ll send it there.
I’ve got around 300+ hail damage since it happened in Dubai, Alain I don’t know what to do, it was the first time incident 😞
How do you do dents in the roof? Remove the inside padding of the ceiling?
Yes. For access to the back of the roof panel would require dropping down the headliner.
You can see an explanation in this video here ➡️ ruclips.net/video/xaMYqpuOivI/видео.html
What about a dent in the bonnet that protrudes outward. Some mechanic left a tool under the bonnet of my car and forgot about it when the bonnet was closed. It caught the brace and made an outward dent. Hammer and a bit of wood?
I have repaired many dents or damage like that. I usually need to use a sharp knockdown and hammer or even one of my metal knock down tips. Sometimes I can flatten it out smooth. Other times I'll have to make it into a dent and then repair the dent using PDR tools. From there it may often need to be lightly sanded and buffed out to bring it back smooth.
If the damage is from the brace pushing it up, then a similar method would be used. But it may require moving the brace or repairing it so that the metal can be tapped back down without the brace still pushing it up.
This guy knows his stuff
Great information! How much does this cost? Do paintless dent repair places charge by the dent?
Thanks! When a hail storm damages a car the cost can vary depending on multiple factors.
While every dent per panel is taken into account. It will usually be an average cost to repair the panel depending on how many dents there are and the severity of dents size.

ust wanna to share ...thanks @
Do you recommend glue pulling on aluminum? I'm kinda stuck on a 18 or 19 f150 king ranch pfdoor! Right now I'm stuck with a thumbnail size moon shape
Glue pulling can work on aluminum but it is much more difficult and limited on a sharp dent.
If you are working on a door, I would try to get a tool behind the dent to work it out.
You may have to try tapping down the dent and starting over if possible. Once the aluminum is pulled wrong it is difficult to fix it.
How to remove car running board dent? Any video post about that?
Whether this is the rocker panel of a car or an attached running board on a truck, can make a difference on if it can be repaired.
Both of these would have limited access to get inside to push the dents out on most vehicles.
If the dents are small and not sharp, then using glue pulling may work to pull out the dents.
Here’s a list of videos on glue pulling. Glue Pull Dent Removal ➡️ ruclips.net/p/PLOT7tjMiI6PGEOBkkmHA6pKGgVrE7Ae08
In what scenarios would you have to heat the diameter? I see a lot of videos with technicians doing that.
Heating is to bring the panel to an ideal working temp. This can be because the panel is cold, the dent is sharp, to help keep the paint flexible, or for helping with aluminum.
Wow great job bro. Where are you located? I’d love to get this done on my chsllenger
Our shop is located in Blaine Minnesota. Just north of Minneapolis.

@@exceldentremoval oh jeez I’m in Texas I think it’s a bit too far:/
How long does it take to fix a whole car with hail damage?
Wow. But how would you guys fix dents on the roof per se or places where there is no access to underneath the metal? 🤔 Very interesting tho...
There are many areas on a vehicle that can be accessed by removing the interior panels. On the case of the roof, we will remove the headliner.
You can see this video that shows it ➡️ ruclips.net/video/xaMYqpuOivI/видео.html
There are a few areas of a car that can not be accessed and in these areas we will use glue pull dent removal.
You can see more info and a playlist of videos about glue pulling dents here: www.exceldentremoval.com/glue-pulling-dents-out-of-cars-with-paintless-dent-repair/
That was awesome.
Thank You! I appreciate the comment and watching the video.
what do you do when the little dent is near the front of the hood but underneath the hood theres a second layer of metal that keeps u from working it from underneath>?
+randomrazr While every car can be different in that area, the process can still be similar.
If we can still get a skinny flat PDR tool into the front edge of the hood then that can work.
Other times we will use the glue pulling method to pull out the small hail dents.
Sometimes it is a combination of the two ways to get the dents out.
This video shows using both to get a dent out in the front of a hood.
ruclips.net/video/YQ0dhMDjL1k/видео.html
@@exceldentremoval can glue pulling be 100%?
Yes it can if the damage isn’t severe and when done properly. The Glue pulling method is used on just about every hail repair with excellent results. There are several areas of a car that don’t have access and pulling the dents is the only way to repair them.
Also i not quite sure of how hard I can tap aluminum down!
Aluminum takes a lot more force to either push out and also knocking back down. Studies have shown it to be 3-4 times as much as a steel panel.
There are some knock downs and tips I use for aluminum because they work better.
