I have a dent on the long piece of roof rail trim on my 65 Galaxie hardtop at the corner bend. So difficult to get at it. And has a lip inside where the bend is … ahhh! This bide helps though thx
PDR nylon-tipped tap-down tools would work better and cause less damage than the hammer, mini-vise and filing methods you're currently using and having to spend a lot of time buffing out. Something like Dykem Blue, carefully applied, would show any low spots without scratching the metal. Thanks for the video and sharing your restoration methods.

@@eastwoodco Not exactly...I thought the video showed an actual trim hammer, 3-4 ounces with a more blunted pein. The one you linked to appears to be a full sized body hammer with a sharp pein.
Hey guys. I watched the whole video of this and i was wondering, do you only sand the bits where the damage has been done when you are going to make the whole piece shine?? Or do you sand the whole piece before buffing it? Thank you! =)
Put a guard on your buff wheel trust me. At our shop, the owner decided to help polish up a piece of alum channel for one of the employees truck bed cover. He turned the trim slightly sideways and it caught and whipped around the buff and shattered every bone in his hand and wrist. Yeah, he's a bonehead but it could happen to anyone. You won't find a pro polishing shop without a guard.
This happened to a custom knife maker but the knife he was buffing caught and got flung into his chest. I believe it killed him but I can't remember exactly.

Would they tho? Have u tryed both ? Have u pdr heavy guage stainless steel?
Beautiful!
Do similar methods work on aluminum trim?
Enjoyed the video! I have small dents on the stainless steel door edge guards on my '70 Pontiac GTO. Can dents on something so small be repaired?
Yes. I would imagine so. You may just need a very small flathead to lightly hammer at. Its been 5 months since post. Any success?
Very helpful.
I'm ending up with small bubble like wrinkles in my trim piece.Any tips on getting it really flat and getting those wrinkles blended good?
Damnnnnn good tutorial
Hi guys! I've looked on your site but didn't find the smaller cross pein hammer you used in the video. Can you provide a link?

Let's see the part where you sand through the trim trying to smooth it out or get it caught on the buffer wheel and kink it all to hell.
Beware guys this is a frigging long process and can take weeks.
