Hi Dent discount, When could i have training with you? Could you provide your contact number? Thank you. I am your one of subscribers and i watch your PDR very often...
I get mocked in the body shop for using your techniques, but my boss can't argue with the results. Consistently surprised with the panels I've been able to save. Thanks for the tips.
You are witnessing the cutting edge of dent repair. Ken is likely in top 5 in the world for quality PDR techs... Remember, all pioneers are mocked throughout history... "The Earth is Round", "Earth is not the Center of the Universe" "Humans can't fly", etc. If you knew that hot glue, pry bars, heat gun, pull tower, pull tabs, and alcohol would work better than weld tabs, grinder, bondo, dry, sand, prime, dry, color match paint, dry, clear,dry, polish. I think it would be something for your colleagues to embrace, and not mock... Maybe boss man should send the team to some PDR classes! Ken offers them :-) Paint techs probably hate it... lol (We don't get anymore work)
@@Carbon_Fiber Shops make money to use materials. They get paid to replace parts. They don't want me to be able to straiten a fender when they are paid to get a new one.
@@Carbon_Fiber It's not entirely up to the shop. When insurance is involved. In some cases. Sure you could do that. However most of ny work is insurance jobs. And they dictate pretty much everything.
@@Carbon_Fiber , Because these techniques are so new, that most dont know about them. When we see the PDR guys come to the shop, they generally cant fix anything bigger than a golfball. We wont even call them if the paint is broken at all, because we have to repaint anyway. In which case our methods arent that much different. Also, no one knows that a piece of "Plastic" stuck to the side of a car with something as ridiculous as "Hot melt glue", of all things, has enough gripping strength to make a pull like this and hold. If that was well known, we would all be doing it. In the example in this video, a conventional shop will weld a metal plate to each side of the bodyline, and make their pulls off of that. We also have "wiggle wire" which was a huge advancement over when I was young, but its still welding some form of attaching point to the body so you have something to grab on to and pull off of. Keep in mind, the WAY he does his pulls in the video, walks the dent out, and taps down the crowns is nearly identical to how a good metal worker does it anyway. That hasnt changed. The differences are this: 1. Hes using glue tabs for his attachment points to make his pulls. The pulls themselves are identical, however. 2. He uses a "Hammer & Chisel" technique when taking the stress out of the crowns and doing his tap downs. I dont know why this is done this way. A polished bodyhammer should do the same thing without breaking the paint. Back in the day we also used polished "Chasing" hammers (only available from Mercedes Benz Germany, back then) and smaller jeweler's hammers for the fine work. The tap downs could also easily be done with a nylon jewler's hammer (which may actually be my own personal trick because I have never seen anyone but me do it). 3. Once the metal was really close we would use a metal file to highlight the highs and lows to continue tuning in the final 10% of the repair. Today, the PDR lights accomplish the same thing, so this step is replaced with using the light and the 'shine' of the paint itself, as the final guide. If I had to guess, Rick was an old school metal finisher, before getting into PDR. PDR on its own, does not have this type of skill and technique in it. Its something that evolved separately from conventional bodywork...probably from massaging out minor flaws that happen on the assembly line during new car manufacturing (which is why you could ONLY get the tools from Mercedes Benz IF you were a certified Mercedes shop, back in the old days). It would require a real metal worker, who knows old school metal finishing, to take it to this level.
This is artistry, or sorcery. When I owned part of a body shop 15 years ago, the pdr guy was our secret weapon, the industry was so new to us. Either way this is an industry disrupter. Saves time materials and the environment and the result speaks for itself, what's not to love.
You make it look easy. But you have the knowledge to know what to do. I've tried a bit and learned I don't have the patience, tools or knowledge to do the same. Much respect to you.
Your metalwork is amazing, Ken. I was trained by Natalio Balderama in 1993 and worked alongside some of the best PDR techs in the industry. It always makes me wonder when you repair the dent that I would consider to be backward. Your end result is amazing nonetheless, I always repair the deepest part of the dent first. Funny how many schools of thought there are in the industry. Great channel and ground breaking technology.
New subscriber here I’ve been doing body work for a year now and I’ve been telling my bosses to invest in flue pulling but they never listen. This is definitely the future love watching the vids
secretpdrpaintlessdentrepairtrainingonline.com/ Thank you for your comment . It’s really hard to teach my dog new tricks. Every shop has their way of working on cars and running their business Their making money so it’s hard to make a change Hopefully my voice text makes sense
Im an old school Panel beater in New Zealand. Served my apprenticeship in the early seventies.We made panels by hand etc..Im very impressed by the way you work and the skill you have...All the very best...Graeme Fyffe,Warrington,Otago,NZ
I have a similar history. Grew up metal finishing European High Line cars back in the 1980's I did a formal 3 year apprenticeship with one shop, under this angry German who swore at me a lot, and finished at a shop owned by a friend of his for all the heavy collision stuff (frame work, changing quarter panels etc...) So I too am seriously impressed with this entire channel.
MAN OF STEEL! I just completed of job of pulling a dent out of the rear quarter panel. Thank you for you channel, you knowledge and the way you work that steel! I have pictures to show off, but I am sure you get plenty of this. I will continue to watch because there is finishing work to do! THANK YOU!
New subscriber....I started looking into pdr because of my teen age daughter dinging her car ...and the used car I just bought with some dents. I use to think of pdr as a way to fix hail dings only. Your work amazes me....now I want to start learning how...maybe start a business......I own 7 used 1990s and early 2000s cars so before I ever set up a business I have plenty to practice on.
I am a new member just subscribed today. just got into this type of repair. I started with a $15 kit from Harbor freight and upgraded to a kit from Eastwood.. I found your youtube channel. While I was looking for videos to help me learn how to use my kit. I’m doing pretty good with it but I see from your videos that I’m not even scratching the surface of what this trade is all about. Thank you for your channel and for putting these videos out here.
WOW amazing repair! I finally got to watch the full video! Getting the area below the 1/4 panel where the bumper bracket sits is really crucial... You made that look easy !
New subscriber! I am a 39 yr old female, just started Auto Collision class to earn my Associate's degree in Applied Science.... My school is supposed to be "state of the art" but we use the old methods! Seeing how u do it, the old methods don't make sense
New subscriber. Your amazing and I want to learn PDR. Someone backed into my left bumper looks pretty bad but I want to attack it with your knowledge. Ordered my first PDR yesterday. I appreciate your work.
Master master you did it again brilliant job saving money for one on one classes I’m a 15year bodymen hope one day i can be as good as you master brilliant job 👍👍👍🤙👍
secretpdrpaintlessdentrepairtrainingonline.com/ Thank you for your comment Alfredo. I’m looking forward to meeting you I’m sure we can learn from each other.
My sister had a dent on her Venza rt/frt.qtr panel. Cause by a runaway Walmart shopping cart. Left a 2 fist size dent. I tried the heat gun with a strong plunger....Nope. I unhooked the wheel well cover and couldn't pop it with my hands. Finally got the old 3ft, 1/2 " Crowbar used the tire as leverage and pop 90% of that dent out. Respect.
I am first time subscriber to your channel. I love that you are teach teaching old school dent pulling. I did dent pulling back in the 70’s and miss the pulling. Thank you
1st time watching , have to watch those electric poles and mailbox posts. Wife had a mailbox post take out the sliding door handle. Now if I can fix it. Factory installed panels are always
Hi, my name is Fernando New subscriber... I have been in the auto body industry all my life. I started back home in South America and learned how to restore cars, we made panels from a sheet of steel. We use to say (give me a key and I can make a car around it). Moved to the USA in 1987 and have been working on the collision side of the industry in several Dealerships since. I did some training for PDR back in 2002 but did not practice enough a the time. From 2002 till 2021, I have worked as an Estimator and then Managed a shop at the Dealership. Last year, I moved to South West Florida , and now I am back beating panels working as a technician in a Dealership. I am very impressed with not only your talent but with the extreme pulling you can accomplish with the hot glue pulling technique. it's really amazing to see the hard hits you pull out on your videos. I am going to try your technique and keep watching your videos to learn more tricks. Thanks for sharing.
Great job very impressive repair. Has got to be way better than a panel full of filler for sure. You would never know there was any damage what a result.😁❤
Excellent work. I got my door pushed in about 1/2 inch. Not one body shop was able to do the paintless repair. I can't beleive it! It is one tenth of the damage you showed in this video. Thanks for the video. By the way, the low bid was $500.00.
Hi. New Subscriber from the UK. I cant believe the size of damage you guys can deal with using glue tabs and PDR. In the UK PDR deals with small parking dents only. No way these jobs would be done without weld tabs and full panel paint. Amazing skills!!!!
When PDR started here in the colonies back in the 90s, they also were limited to typical shallow dents, dings, hail damage etc. and wouldn't touch anything with a crease or anything on a body line. I just think it's a natural progression of the art. If PDR is more recent in the U.K., this will naturally catch up.
I've been watching your methods for a while now ,and I have learned a whole lot. I've been using the glue for a while now and it's funny you don't even have to tie these cars down to do what you're doing. every once in a while I have to tie a car down but your channel has helped me a lot and I've been doing this for 40 years. and with the electric cars coming out you're not going to be able to weld anymore you're going to have to glue.
Hello Man of steel I would like to know where you bought the blue cups that you use in the video. And you continues to make videos that for people like me who have only been fixing dents for a short time, these are very useful for us. Thanks for your time and your help.
Thanks. As I watched and looking to make repairs in my driveway I was considering your pulling apparatus. What do I have? I have a ratchet winch, will not give me precise control that you have, but I good alternative for a driveway. I had a wheel come off on the highway and damaged and compressed front quarter panel. This technique may just be what I need to pull some of the shape back and align. The wheel pressed up on the panel.
The work you do is very impressive. The videos are great, being both entertaining and educational. If I was based in the USA I would definitely want to be trained by you. Keep up the good work 😎
First time watcher!! Amazing work. I recently had someone hit my quarter panel on my 2005 CRV but I don’t think I will be able to not get out of painting it unfortunately but I think I will give some of your advice and tricks will save me some time at least.
As a claims adjuster who writes estimates all day long these videos amaze me.. Some of these panels I would be you couldn't get it back and then at the end im floored.. great job
The problem is that if you write up as a PDR repair, the repair may not be satisfactory to the customer, and then the entire job would have to be redone and the PDR costs lost. I think this is too much of a skill to expect most body techs to learn and master.
Question: would pulling the panel from the back. If you clamped from the inside of the tail light opening and under the bumper exterior section, ir would pull some of the tension out of the panel
Am a new subscriber, this is the second video I see, my favorite is spraying rather than body work,.. but, your methods are cool, .. I spray painted my old beat up vw beetle, back in 1980, Pearl blue
I inherited a 1993 S-100 series Ford Pickup Truck from my dad and i want to restore it. The truck is covered with large and small dents and scratches. I have never pulled out dents before and was wondering what's the best and cheapest way to actually do it (no gimmicks). i started to look at different RUclips videos and was wondering does the Bridge Out really works, what do you recommend? I'm going to eventually have it painted so I am not really worried about the original paint job. Thanks David
First time watching you. Very cool and I really appreciate that your not very wordy but still explain everything! I enjoyed your video. Thanks for the education on dent removal techniques.
Love the detailed information. Some steps are more than a little obvious though, and don't need to be verbalized. That's about the only thing that would stop me from watching more videos.
I can't believe how well Glue work's, I figured the glue would let go under pulling pressure. The person who put the dent grazed a Gas station pylon, they have to be really happy with your work
New Subscriber! Im a building contractor who loves body work as a hobby on my own vehicles! learning and slowly collecting tools. thanks for your content and wisdom!
Nice work. I was trying to see what my options were to fix up a gas tank for my motorcycle... mainly fixing dents. I guess RUclips decided you were the best resource. :D
I am trying to get into the heavy repair using only glue tabs. Help me understand why you vouched for the block of wood when those 90 degree tabs seemed to be doing the job on the quarter edge.
love your work! Do you have any experience using these techniques on 19 gauge panels. I have an old car with some unibody so I cannot reach the backside.
How does the pulling tower not tip over as it’s pulling on the dents. Is the tower that heavy or do the dents not require much pulling force to come out? Serious question.
New subscriber here. Loving the way you're able to flatten out these panels. My car has a dent that I took to 2 pdr guys in puyallup and tacoma Washington. They both said it was too big. I've watched your videos, and you fix stuff that is way worse than my car!! I'd like to bring my car to your shop.
I just subscribed to your channel after watching a number of your videos and forwarding them to other people. I have huge for you man and owning to the fact that I admire people who think outside of the box. I’m a automotive technician and like to prove people wrong when they conclude something can’t be done. I just wish you were in my area so you could repair a mini right rear panel with a dent. Jah guide, protect and watch over you while you do what you love, more blessings me seh.

Hi watching you do magic I have a 2002 BMW X5 with drivers side rear quarter panel pushed in by someone who parked close causing damage to the panel can you recommend someone here in NYC with the skills to do the repairs? Thx in advance
That's pretty impressive I grew up doing autobody and paint and am trying to get back into it. We never did any paintless dent removal but it seems awesome I would like to learn how to do it

Travis thank you so much for your comment I really appreciate it
And you'll probably never see one again like him. Literally, there's no one in my huge city that does this. Only pathetic little hail and door dings.
Yep you’re fired!

As a claims adjuster who writes estimates all day long these videos amaze me.. Some of these panels I would be you couldn't get it back and then at the end im floored.. great job
The problem is that if you write up as a PDR repair, the repair may not be satisfactory to the customer, and then the entire job would have to be redone and the PDR costs lost. I think this is too much of a skill to expect most body techs to learn and master.
New subscriber .. trying to learn how to repair a panel so i can fix my car . I'm loving these videos they're very helpful
Erika Welcome to my channel thank you for subscribing
Question: would pulling the panel from the back. If you clamped from the inside of the tail light opening and under the bumper exterior section, ir would pull some of the tension out of the panel
tnx for the video, how much did you warm the panel?
Am a new subscriber, this is the second video I see, my favorite is spraying rather than body work,.. but, your methods are cool, ..
I spray painted my old beat up vw beetle, back in 1980, Pearl blue

Thank you for your comment Mohammed and welcome to my channel
By far the best I have ever seen. Awesome work
great info. I have the exact same dent in my Lexus suv. I watched to get ideas on how to fix myself. I am a tech . Just subscribed.
I'm new, and your work is a work of art. Fantastic results.
I’m a new subscriber. Your shortcuts are impressive! Where did you get the “tower” and could you show the whole tower?
I inherited a 1993 S-100 series Ford Pickup Truck from my dad and i want to restore it. The truck is covered with large and small dents and scratches. I have never pulled out dents before and was wondering what's the best and cheapest way to actually do it (no gimmicks). i started to look at different RUclips videos and was wondering does the Bridge Out really works, what do you recommend? I'm going to eventually have it painted so I am not really worried about the original paint job. Thanks David
First time watching you. Very cool and I really appreciate that your not very wordy but still explain everything! I enjoyed your video.
Thanks for the education on dent removal techniques.
Love the detailed information. Some steps are more than a little obvious though, and don't need to be verbalized. That's about the only thing that would stop me from watching more videos.
I can't believe how well Glue work's, I figured the glue would let go under pulling pressure. The person who put the dent grazed a Gas station pylon, they have to be really happy with your work
You are a bad ass at it. That’s what I call working smarter.
New subscriber, first time watcher. Amazing job, great technique! I’ll be trying these on my Subaru forester!
Wow, i must admit,you make it look easy. Great video🎉 what kind of glue n gun used?
I have been watching your channel for awhile simply Amazon... I can never get my glue to stick that well. You the man.
John thank you for your comment
you have to remove the moisture and clean the panel really well
I’m new here but I am using what I learn here on my project cars. Just wanted to say I appreciate your content.

I like ripping down walls in my house and putting up crown and columns for fun
Nice work. I was trying to see what my options were to fix up a gas tank for my motorcycle... mainly fixing dents. I guess RUclips decided you were the best resource. :D

Thank you for your comment
This is my first time watching one of your videos. Absolutely fascinating!!
You dent repair guys are artists. This is always mind blowing to watch.
Thank you
I am trying to get into the heavy repair using only glue tabs. Help me understand why you vouched for the block of wood when those 90 degree tabs seemed to be doing the job on the quarter edge.
love your work! Do you have any experience using these techniques on 19 gauge panels. I have an old car with some unibody so I cannot reach the backside.
The man of steel smashes it again , love your work , wish I could come to the US to train with you, maybe one day
Anthony thank you for your comment.
You never know it may happen someday
Hey Great work ! Which glue do you use ? Link ?
Thank you and greets from Germany
The technique is brilliant, what temperature should the area be at before gluing the tabs?
This is so crazy. You are like a master painter the Picasso of dent pulling
Damn bro, your videos are the best videos I've seen when it comes to fixing dents. The end results are flawless.
Thank you Mann
How does the pulling tower not tip over as it’s pulling on the dents. Is the tower that heavy or do the dents not require much pulling force to come out? Serious question.
Great job again! I I’ve seen a lot of your videos and I am still amazed at your results.

Thank you Don
New subscriber. Been in collision repair for 12 years. Looking to learn this technique.
Are these areas weaker after all the cold bends? It looks really good, but could bend it?
First time viewer: I really appreciate the videos. How hot are you trying to get the metal before you apply the pull tabs?
New sub. Watching for educational purposes. Trying to figure out if I can DIY repair my car damage.
One word...MAGNIFICENT.
Window Creek thank you for your comment
Thank you for the great video! May I ask what glue gun you are using and where you get your supplies? Thank you
New subscriber here. Loving the way you're able to flatten out these panels. My car has a dent that I took to 2 pdr guys in puyallup and tacoma Washington. They both said it was too big. I've watched your videos, and you fix stuff that is way worse than my car!! I'd like to bring my car to your shop.
This guy is a master of his craft!! Awesome video

I have tried this before but the hot glue I used was no good was wondering if you have a particular brand of glue that you use
cheers

I just subscribed to your channel after watching a number of your videos and forwarding them to other people. I have huge for you man and owning to the fact that I admire people who think outside of the box. I’m a automotive technician and like to prove people wrong when they conclude something can’t be done. I just wish you were in my area so you could repair a mini right rear panel with a dent. Jah guide, protect and watch over you while you do what you love, more blessings me seh.

Hi watching you do magic I have a 2002 BMW X5 with drivers side rear quarter panel pushed in by someone who parked close causing damage to the panel can you recommend someone here in NYC with the skills to do the repairs? Thx in advance
I would recommend getting on yelp
That's pretty impressive I grew up doing autobody and paint and am trying to get back into it. We never did any paintless dent removal but it seems awesome I would like to learn how to do it

I'm enjoying the shortcuts.
Absolutely great work there. Is the pulling tower secured to the ground??
Maurice thank you for your comment yes it’s secure to floor pods
