The first few pulls make it look easy, then you see the artwork happen and realize the skill and time involved. Amazing work. Now I want to learn how to do it
This stuff is so phenomenal! I was about nine years old when I was hanging out at a body shop in 1970. They used to cut out damaged panels with an abrasive wheel and then cut new panels to size pop rivet them in place then braze the panel in place, grind, sand, prime, etc. No cavity wax whatsoever. It was like the stone age of bodywork, just one step up from lead. This stuff absolutely blows my mind. I have a dent and I got nothing to lose by giving it a try. I was just gonna fill it with Bondo.
I did bodywork for a number of years. I'm shocked you were able to get that dent out. Really great work. No grinding, no weld on nails to slide hammer out, no body filler, paint and clear coat preserved. No chance of paint or clear coat fading, yellowing, or failing later. Amazing work!
2:46 to 4:05 - you make it look so effortlessly. But one has to admire the incredible amount of experience that it takes to pull not too much and not too little. a whisker less of force, and nothing moves. a whisker more, and the dent becomes a crown.
Wow, maybe one of the best things I have seen done in a while. As a car guy this was educational and inspirational. Keep up the great videos and tutorials!
Turned out great. Glue tabs have came a long way through the years. I have never tried the cold glue. I will have to give that a try. Thanks for sharing.
I tried the Sergio Cola Cold Glue with a 2.5lb slide hammer. Didn't work. The glue did not stick like this. It was on a rear corner of a 2016 jeep Wrangler.
Why PDR is better and $425 is nothing compared to a traditional body shop and cost. Pros - Saves original paint - Generally under your deductible - Common door dings minor dents performed within hours and sometimes less. - Hail damage repair performed within 1-3 days - No paint mismatch - No carfax - 1000 times better than a body shop Cons. Could be over your deductible. Bodyshop / Claim Cons 79% or higher of these statements below are true if you make a claim over choosing PDR. - Cost will definitely exceed over $500 - Your deductible is generally $500 or higher - Likely it will affect your insurance - Expect to be away from your vehicle for 7-10 days (if they are fast) - If you don’t have rental insurance, expect to pay out of pocket $200-$250 @ $25 a day. (that’s the low end) - Your car will now be reported to carfax and have history of body damage - You lose 25% of your cars value when it has been repainted. - Your time is money Overall, even if PDR was a $100 - $200 more than your deductible, Paintless dent repair is still the fastest, affordable, proven and best method for removing your dents. By the way, I’ve been perfecting this trade since 1991. Customers don’t owe me for the hour, they owe me for the years. No painting. No hassle. No brainer. Choose PDR.
Hey men I’ve been working on a traditional body shop for 7 years but now I’m really interested in learn this method. Is it the training very expensive? I live in Atlanta GA .
Great video. I’ve watched a lot of these and you gave the best explanation for how to use the reflection light and knock down the high spots. I’ve used this on minor hail damage but never on larger dents, now I’m excited to give it a try myself.
Myke, Thanks for your consistently high quality videos on such a wide variety of PDR products and fixes. Kudos to you for putting up with all the flack from individuals who simply don't understand the true value of your work or the years of training and financial overhead required for a successful business. Some of the comments as so ludicrous that one can only think they are joking - but unfortunately, that's probably hoping for too much. I value what you are doing and really appreciate the information you provide. We're only getting a glimpse here so your intensive, personal one-on-one training is undoubtedly excellent! Again, thanks for all you do on this channel.
Evan Penny did someone force you to click on the video? This comment takes it place amongst the prestigious “most dumbest comments on the internet” category.
@@robhughes8516 You're in the running for that award, Rob. Evan was simply offering a reason as to why someone might give a thumbs down. You should learn contextual comprehension reading. I have used Evan's method a time or two. I have also tried the clearing history method. The clearing history works a little better but, it keeps everything of the particular topic from being suggested. A thumbs down just does the video poster, I think.
Great job Myke, glue pulling dents can take a ton of time to do. I think the threat of the cars going on a 'car fax' or some sort of register if repaired in a bodyshop in the US allows you guys to charge a good and well deserved price, no such register exists over here. I would be lucky to get half of that for the same job here in the UK. I think the motor trade is a lot more respected in the US, think I need to set up a shop over there, then maybe I could buy some new tools instead of having to make most of my own.
Thank you. It’s all about justifying your cost. If you don’t have a price guide and show it to the customer, a customer will never be willing to trust you. If you pull numbers out of mid air without showing proof, you’ll always have the issue of customers challenging your cost no matter how good you are.
@@denttime Wise words Myke, I find that most customers only realise the skill and time required to repair their dent is when you are in front of them doing it on their driveway. Most of them think you are going to turn up with some sort of toilet plunger to suck it out in 5 minutes lol! That's why these videos are good way of educating them on how complex they can be.
I was appalled by the price. NO WHY. But you dont stop at good enough! Working with the light, you made it perfect. 100% believe in your craftsmanship. "Mad scientist" perfect! THANK YOU
I,m from the UK and i bought some of this glue with the proper bar.A tree fell on my car and did a lot of damage.Thanks fgor the tip of working the dent from the outside.Other than that this glue rocks big time.
Don’t you just love customers who think they are professionals after watching a couple of videos on RUclips lol, you did a great job with this, but if I had made that burn mark & knowing that the only way to resolve that would be to repaint the pillar, then I would have just repaired & painted it, but obviously the guy wasn’t too bothered by the burn mark, fantastic job none the less :)
I enjoyed the video it was one of the better teaching videos I've seen . After watching I learn the importance of getting to know metal characteristics, the manipulation of high and low spots, but my key take away was think of the dent in reverse, excellent , thanks !
thx for the time and effort put into the vid - most appreciated - always a joy to watch someone working with skill and explaining at the same time what they are doing .
Wow, you made that look too easy but if you can make look this easy then all hail to you brother and your fine skills. Simply magic and an awesome sight to see.
I am glad you make 400 dollars an hour. Takes skills and knowledge. You have them both. People don't understand what it takes to run a legitimate business. Your the one that takes all the chances. If something gets messed up who has to foot the bill to fix it. The owner. By the way. Good job
Too much info about what you do can leave a person feeling ripped off. I use to do repairs in a different industry but it's all the same. Soon as you tell me the symptoms I could realistically fix the problem in 1.5 to 3 min. The boss told me to stretch it out to at least 20 so they don't feel ripped off. Also he said "try not to let them hover and see exactly how you do the repair"
@@eddieleejr.5534 Think the real part making people feel ripped off is when someone gives them a trash can of parts needing replacing for a 5min. "loose wire" or replacing an HVAC system cause The thermostat when out. Or even seeing how easy it may be. especially the poor ladies. Otherwise, yep, a company has overhead. You'd be surprised what kind of work little runny-nosed kids can do in other places you'd never believe. Talent and know-how in a small package seen some great talent with limited tooling. Without tools, you work for the money. Tools and a roof are not cheap. Very informative video.
@@moonolyth see that all too often. Happen to me recently at the chevy dealership. Told me this whole spill about what I needed to fix my linkage. Crazy price and all. I pulled out my own creeper and saw it was just the bushing. 9$ part and 10 minutes (cause I had to jack up the truck)
@@eddieleejr.5534 Like seeing a Dr. I like My Doc. but he pushes the pills a bit much, too common these days. For a while, every 3 visits or so, Id notice a knock-out pharmaceutical rep. waiting for her appointment along with the patients.... . feels like a candy store if you know what I mean. Drugs are Great, but not when unnecessary.
@@shaynewilliams8045 Artists don't get paid for their hours, they get paid for their RESULTS.... Check out what your dentist or doctor, or chiropractor makes "per hour". Are they thieves too? If so, you should just refuse to deal with thieves and live life without their services. Let us know how that works for you....
This is a guy who really knows what he's doing. To me, it is rocket science, I've seen these kinds of jobs which I cannot do . Wow now that is really art work, just one thing left ,how do you get rid of the yellow burn mark ? Well I guess ill never know, My guess is to wet sand it first ,than buff it out with some very slightly gritted buffing wax, and now Ill try mine own truck out! Wish me luck ! Im insecure so ill watch one more !
Really Amazing.. People Are Amazing.. We all have a talent. I pride myself as being probably one of the best irrigation and sprinkler technicians. Others are great tattoo artist.. Others like a good friend Josh are amazing body paint and pinstrping artist and just like yourself, absolutely amazing body repair artist.. This is one of the best detailed dent videos I've seen ..thanks👍❤
Hi Dent Time.... yeah materials and application have indeed changed somewhat since i retired from paint less dent removal / smart repair you my friend make it look soooooo easy its a skill that is not easily acquired. i did for 7 years mobile smart & Paint-less dent removal in Beverly Hills where i lived then now i dabble a little from my ranch in Southern Arizona Sierra Vista area.... Edwin J Thompson ..........Ed
Thanks for explaining working out dents in reverse of how they happened! I couldn’t see most of the tapping the light was distracting but glad I watched this I learned a lot!
Thank you for explaining it to us that was very interesting and i fully understood what you were on about. You made a lot of sense more than any other videos.
I've never seen metal worked like that before! You have metal working skills my friend! A real treat to see in action! I have done auto body before but this was in '96 none of this though! Amazing!!!
People freak out when they here how much it costs to do such a small repair. But the amount of skills and experience to do something like this is a time over experience to be able to charge for workmanship. This is amazing workmanship.
Steven Weede you gain experience by gaining experience though.... you don’t know how to do something until you know how to do something and you learn how to do something by doing it.
Hey no shame in trying to diy it. RUclips is a wonder for us guys trying to save a buck or two. Guys like this poster that give expert advice are an added bonus. Thanks man.
great tutorial best I've seen you explain it all great work, I repair cars for a living as a panel beater sprayer, and I have all the tools to do the job but not so good at pdr as never grasped the concept as I just use dollys and hammer respray but I am going to now practice this now because I see a lot of less work and the results can be great a lot less cost for the customer to pay which is happy days, rather than respraying a panel I like to keep cars original paint the explanation of the line board was very informative you are very good I hope I can be as good as you with practice thanks for the tutorial
Excellent narration. Your voice is clear with a nice tone. Is there a variation of metal quality among auto manufacturers? Are some makes easier to repair?
Wow, your perfect service, very good. My brother, what's name tools in use, please? Does it seem like the tool works with a suction cup system? I am from Brazil, sorry my English. Good Job.
what's honestly on the end of the slide hammer / rod there whats between the pole / slide bar & the metal of the truck in all honesty..... whats it called & where to get it & how much is it.....
It would be so good to be able to do what SEEMS to be an easy job.. but experience has always triumphed over hope... Good to see a man doing a good job without screaming about it.
Looks to me like that light lamp (or maybe even better, one with both horizontal AND vertical lines) is pretty much a REQUIREMENT for doing that quickly and accurately. The capabilities you show here is the result of MANY MANY hours of doing this to many many dents, I expect, and a newbie is likely not going to get your results (unless he just carefully and painfully works it out over a lot of time) and CERTAINLY is not going to do it as quickly as you do here. You have a great feel for how bent metal "wants" to move. Nice work. I've done a few the HARD way, filling, blocking, ad infinitum to spectacular black lacquer...but this is seriously cool. Had a guy come over once to pull out a bad rear ender smash with a come along. My son set this up for his car. I thought "oh, boy, this is going to be a disaster"...wanna tell 'ya...the objective was to get the metal back close to where it started from and get the trunk to close. I was amazed, he know how metal moved too. It would have taken me a week to do what he did in about 30 minutes. We probably could have used your methods here to get it looking quite good, but that particular car wasn't worth it.
The videos also emphasize the importance of using specialized tools and equipment, as well as the need for proper training and experience to perform these techniques effectively.
How effective is cold glue pulling for older trucks built before 2000? I've only seen videos with newer cars that have soft body metals which are more flexible, so I'm not very convinced it will work in all cases. I want to see someone pull big dents out of an old junkyard truck before I waste my time and money.
Thanks for the info. I have Nissan NX1600 t-top and I have a dent between the glass roof panel and trunk, it looks a bit like this one and I still have the original glass. even the paint is fine
The first few pulls make it look easy, then you see the artwork happen and realize the skill and time involved. Amazing work. Now I want to learn how to do it

great tutorial best I've seen you explain it all great work, I repair cars for a living as a panel beater sprayer, and I have all the tools to do the job but not so good at pdr as never grasped the concept as I just use dollys and hammer respray but I am going to now practice this now because I see a lot of less work and the results can be great a lot less cost for the customer to pay which is happy days, rather than respraying a panel I like to keep cars original paint the explanation of the line board was very informative you are very good I hope I can be as good as you with practice thanks for the tutorial
I like how the pros make it look easy when you know it isn't.
Experience
If you live on a budget none of it's easy or cheap. I'll stick with a plunger and boiling water
It's not that hard, just experience.
That’s why there pros 😂 lmfao
I feel you. It comes down to patience. And theres no doubt they're masters of it. Lmao. But the results speak for themselves oc.
Excellent narration. Your voice is clear with a nice tone. Is there a variation of metal quality among auto manufacturers? Are some makes easier to repair?
This is definitely a case of your customer getting what they paid for, there’s a reason body work is regarded as such a highly skilled occupation.
What are you talking about? Its a dent repair and he charged the customer over $400 and it didn't even take him 1 1/2 hours.
True definition of a body man great video
That is completely amazing to me.....wow, you do some amazing work!!!
dude, thanks. Using the proper tools helps. my dodge doesn't deserve that.
Wow, your perfect service, very good. My brother, what's name tools in use, please?
Does it seem like the tool works with a suction cup system?
I am from Brazil, sorry my English.
Good Job.
what's honestly on the end of the slide hammer / rod there whats between the pole / slide bar & the metal of the truck in all honesty..... whats it called & where to get it & how much is it.....
That's good enough for me. Great work sir, you're the man. Thumbs up on your video.
That is so cool! I loved the explanation of how this works, requiring the skill is another thing. Thanks for the video.
After watching this I am convinced I could really bugger things up.
Yep.. me too
It would be so good to be able to do what SEEMS to be an easy job.. but experience has always triumphed over hope... Good to see a man doing a good job without screaming about it.
Yep
Looks to me like that light lamp (or maybe even better, one with both horizontal AND vertical lines) is pretty much a REQUIREMENT for doing that quickly and accurately. The capabilities you show here is the result of MANY MANY hours of doing this to many many dents, I expect, and a newbie is likely not going to get your results (unless he just carefully and painfully works it out over a lot of time) and CERTAINLY is not going to do it as quickly as you do here. You have a great feel for how bent metal "wants" to move. Nice work. I've done a few the HARD way, filling, blocking, ad infinitum to spectacular black lacquer...but this is seriously cool. Had a guy come over once to pull out a bad rear ender smash with a come along. My son set this up for his car. I thought "oh, boy, this is going to be a disaster"...wanna tell 'ya...the objective was to get the metal back close to where it started from and get the trunk to close. I was amazed, he know how metal moved too. It would have taken me a week to do what he did in about 30 minutes. We probably could have used your methods here to get it looking quite good, but that particular car wasn't worth it.
Heat guns.. hot water etc works on plastic dents,on bumpers etc. Not metal body's.
But... stillll.... heat will help metal too... i would say very controlled. Not like you burn the paint.
this is an awesome video. I am attempting to fix a truck dent myself, thanks for the video.
Amazing, almost like rocket art science craftsmanship all in one !

Excellent instructional video. Can you please tell me what the green tool that you used to tap the metal is called, and where can I get one?
Great tutorial on how to finesse out a nasty dent!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
The videos also emphasize the importance of using specialized tools and equipment, as well as the need for proper training and experience to perform these techniques effectively.
Awesome skills dude. Good video too.
A beautiful and informative tutorial. You would make a great voc-ed teacher.
Yo these guys charge like doctors
The expensive part is knowing where to not hit the car
Thats what leads to dents 😮
Because just like doctors it takes years to master, and years to develope this skill level and provide top notch quality like you see here.
My doctor costs way less
you're professional hand worker
Thanks for that it's amazing man
Thank you that’s a wonderful learning experience as always your one of the ve best and I thank you for sharing your knowledge god bless always
WHY IS THIS NOT THE FIRST SEARCH RESULT FOR DENT PULLING? So satisfying....
How effective is cold glue pulling for older trucks built before 2000? I've only seen videos with newer cars that have soft body metals which are more flexible, so I'm not very convinced it will work in all cases. I want to see someone pull big dents out of an old junkyard truck before I waste my time and money.
Same. I have an 88 G20 that I'm curious if this would work on...
Exactly. Let's see some work on older cars that don't have dent resistant memory built into them.
Thanks for the info. I have Nissan NX1600 t-top and I have a dent between the glass roof panel and trunk, it looks a bit like this one and I still have the original glass. even the paint is fine
