😂 5 DUMB Things New PDR Techs Do 🤣 Don't be this guy! 

There are two types of people in this world: the fearful and the bold. With every failure the fearful confirms that they cannot do the job, the bold, on the other hand, are too busy learning how to be successful with every failure. Successful PDR work is based on trial and error. I always encourage people to boldly learn new things, your financial success lies in front of you! You can always find negative people to tear you down; look hard for supportive people who will provide you constructive criticism to accelerate your success.

Just what I needed for motivation to know where I could be going wrong as new tec. BTW the online stuff these guys offer is amazing.

I just started my PDR journey, it's humbling. The 20, 30 year guys just make it look like magic

Watching some really experience guys doing it, then seeing some not so experienced... The object is to get the dent out not to make it almost not noticeable. This video is what I mostly previously learned by watching them f things up, but I like that this completes my tutorial...

Totally didn’t see the flying kick to the face coming when newbie boy was about to destroy a nice BMW!! That was hilarious

Could you give a link to a basic rod to start Practicing with?? I know you said there was one from A1 at the 1:24 mark but I’m not sure where to get one?

Funny, thank you for sharing.

Minus the sales pitches, this was a funny ass video! lol

Finally a video where I’ve already covered most of the material... wait... that’s not the point of this lesson is it??

Fricken hilarious you guys💯

After 1 week of local "training" I felt I was good enough to fix a 6 inch SHARP crease on my Mustang's fender...Jim I tried to fix it with a hand tool. Needless to say, I sold the car, zipper and all....

This was fun I've been learning and practicing PDR for twelve days now and it's going pretty well. But yesterday I did get frustrated trying to repair a large creased dent. Decided to walk away from it before I messed it up too badly. Will be watching all these videos and come up with a plan of attack.

Intro is hilarious.

😂😂how funny his face when u trying to say his last name

I am an old school metal finisher. I really think I can do this with some refinement on my technique. A lot of it is the same, just done with cooler tools.

I watched 2 videos and attacked the panel on my car making it far worse within 5 minutes..being stubborn sucks...it took me over 3 months of watching training videos to get the panel back to resembling the way it was before touching it. Harder than It looks lol 😂😊

Super vid and funny as hell! Jim you must have learnt the comedy from the British 🇬🇧🙌🏼 love No5 running kick !!! Good luck new guy your in great hands

"I feel attacked..." - " Maybe you should"... great video.

Great video 😂👏

I want to learn this pdr skill. A team was in my area for a week taking out dents. I had a small dent in my side door that i couldnt even tell where it was...to begin with i was sure the paint was chipped and cracked in.

Great video

I’ve got an old truck with badly faded and flat paint. Is it a bad idea to glue pull the inaccessible areas that are hail damaged?

fun for real life, thanks Jim

Having an instructor in person is always the best option. The instructor can gauge your progress and correct your mistakes in the beginning. Metal working and no joke. I didca glue pull on my dented fridge door🤣😂🤣 yeah more highs than lows. I didn't grasp to to move the metal wit a tap down tool. It takes tyme to understand how the metal memory works and how to manipulate it

Wow! Working for you could be hazardous to my health! Lol

Immediate sub for this! Freaking great video

My wife's car was recently damaged by hail and I shortly thought about trying it myself which is why I am here. #5 applies directly to me. 😀

Sick outtakes Not embarrassing at all

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 when you grabbed him from glue pulling

Been about 15 years ago but I worked for a car manufacturer and did a few weeks of pdr training, I really enjoyed it, and got pretty good at it, did it quite often on the job after, but the plant closed I moved on, I would like to just try and fix dents on my own junk for the old time sake lol, can you recommend a decent kit to buy?

So what you are telling me is when I glue pull I have to be pulled too 🤣. Guilty on all of these lol, I also bought me a carbon fiber tap down though 😅 I just don't have a slapper yet! Think I should have gotten the Amazon tap down?!

😅 i tried taking 2 dents on my firebird... What was a dent is now Tommy's head from Rugrats

Are u guys located in ny?

This is great 🤣 good job 👍

Extremely good content. Need to please do something about the audio / echo. Other than that, everything else is great

I started doing P.D.R and I check off all of this list lol

I was afraid to click on this video as I’m in the middle of a big mess and I sensed bad news.

If I subscribe to your channel and enroll in your training, how long until I can tell people I'm a professional!

What state are you in

i just pulled out like 10 little dents from hail damage on my pickup... it looks so much better. I used a hot glue gun and some ramdom items laying around the house like a bottle cap to pull the dents out. Its not something i would do on a luxury car but in my personal opinion its going to be difficult to screw anying up worst with the glue PDR method. Unless the paint comes with it but that shouldnt happen unless the paint is already compromised or its a shit paint job

This shit was funny 🤣

Get a panel from junk yard and have at it.

lol..so funny!

Best way to do PDR practice On your own car first place when you get good then work then work on a family car then go from there

My advice to anyone who has a go at PDR is practice on your car and when

Hahaha ya I like this video, kinda goes with what I was saying lol

Yikes $65 a month. I will keep practicing on my own. I have fixed 100s of dents so far. I definitely don't get it done very fast but the end result is the same dents are gone.

Damn Chris I feel for ya... you know what I mean

😎newguy here

“Sorry DIY guys”. I imagine you hired a director and a camera crew to make this video and DIY because it is quite similar and less expensive

best video ever i laughed so hard but its true

Disagree with #3 but agree with the rest…I’d substitute #3 with only working the dent from one angle and thinking they’re done.

100 % accurate - I've got to admit I've done them all !!

Wow I learned absolutely nothing.

I have never done this before, looks easy so I’ll probably just buy a bunch of tools and start doing side jobs soon.

Wow, that new guy has a striking resemblance to Nicholas Cage.

This new Automated PDr technology is going to drive prices so far down

I think attempting DIY pdr ( with assistaed learning) as a small niche has its place vs proper PDR. I have no problem at paying for my PDR repairs and extremely happy with results from pros and will continue. In some lesser damage situations on with more simple ( round ) repairs I've had success also with basic damage, this is on what people would call "shed car" territory and I did one on a car with a tennis ball sized dent but the car was getting to be worth only a thou ( a 1.9 Tdi vRS). I think in that situation as a noob helps as you mentioned being able to push from behind (with moedaration) rather than pull with glue sticks. A lot of people do inappropriate force, making worse damage perhaps than was there before lol the golf ball effect. I saw the mess brother in law did on a tail gate like that. I won't ever do that. I've been told my wifes car is beyond PDR ( despite cosmetically not really that bad in laymans terms, it just pisses me off that it was 2019 car and cost me a lot to buy it nearly new) but just too many creases and dents overall. A supermarket special. I'm told it would take convential garage time which would probably end up taking even more paint off etc and probably cost me at least a thou. Ain't going to happen. I'm interested to maybe use hers as a long term learning vehicle to try to understand some success in PDR....after all, what is she going to do, likely just add YET another dent at some point, crease or mark in it :D? The only completely undamaged panels so far really are the front wings ( one of those I replaced myself with a pattern part lol ) the bonnet, the roof, and the tailgate. I couldn't possibly make it worse - but also I know my limitations. Whilst I have 2 much much smaller dents on my own expensive personal fast car and super happy to get to my PDR guy to just fix them. I've been trying and trying to book PDR with my preferred guy but difficult to get his valued time but will eventually if I perservere and probably get time off.

After "NO" you were suppose to rub his nose on the dent.......

Funny 😁

Sorry, but tools is everything. I've been doing bodywork for 33 years and I didn't start getting good at pushing till I got some good spline rods.

No im still gonna diy

The majority of new PDR Guys fail, and most of the Ones that stay with it don't become proficient at large dents.

Patience, patience, patience. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and so on to 30 0r 50. I learned tons from your 101 class.

I laughed watching this because 99 out of a 100 need the training. I, for one, just pulled out a 3 ft long 4 inch high multiple sections dent with a crease and buffed it to perfection. Took me 10 hours total. I was hired to do the bodywork and paint and decided to try pdr for the "first time." Used 2x4s to pull dents before. Bought a 200 dollar Amazon kit and had to modify the tab puller with some billet additions on my bridgeport because you get what you pay for, lol. Last note, I've been polishing stainless trim and doing paint work for half my life. I'm a newbie, but really not. Just another skill to master I look at it as.

You forgot one!! Compare your jobs to Brice Kelly's. Can be more depressing than covid isolation.😊

>"DONT TRY YOURSELF!" Bullfuckingshit, Walter.

😅😅😅😅😅 spoken as true company loosing business because people are tired of being stolen from.

Best thing I ever did rwpdr 💪💪💪

You´re the kind of boss I more than happily be fired by for pissing on him, again. :))

So I don't know a professional mobile dent remover that's been doing it for over 15 years and has had no professional training and not one minute 🤔 my cousin took his hobby to a professional career 🤯 so I hundred percent disagree with dent pulling being so mysterious that it's something you can't learn off of RU-vid videos because that's exactly how he learned and last year his company almost netted a quarter-million dollars and that's only the third year it's been around lbvs with nothing more than Craigslist ads

Yea you will need 10 studying

That was too funny. Truth bomb lol I’m 5 for 5 yaaaaaaaa IDIOT 🤣

go to a scrap yard and have fun fixing dead cars..

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

😂

Oh good, another sales pitch poorly disguised as a tutorial.
