DIY Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) w/ CHEAP Amazon Products! 

PDR tech here. Some of those dents have crowns those need to be tapped down to relieve pressure off the dent. Try the black glue and make sure surface and tabs are super clean. I've been doing this since 98 it is an art. Board placement is everything. Also cross checking is very important dents need to be looked at vertically as well as horizontally.

I like that you showed real struggle and not some "impressive magic" look-what-I-did-I want-a-cookie-now...like a lot the of these "pros" on youtube. I'm looking to do this myself. Good job!!!

Enjoyable video lol, I like how you break it down into small, simple steps and narrate clearly.

Well, with a line board. Where you see the lines pinch together , then that is a high spot. When the lines spread out , then that is a low spot. To find you pdr tool (rod) tip. Look at the reflection, push anywhere with the lineboards reflection. Where you see the lines pinch , then that is where your tool tip is...... So when you push you are making an undamaging high spot to locate the tip of your rod.

Thank you for this video. Exactly the kind of information I was looking for.

Great Video! thanks for taking time to make it. I would recommend a Tri pod for your light! :D

Good luck with the channel!!!

Great informative video that helps my learning curve when trying this myself. Thanks

Have you tried any on the top surface? I have about 20 small hail dents, about half of them hard to see, all on the hood, trunk, or top.

You are doing a great job. Very good video.🙂🙂

The passenger side fender turned out real good

Bel video, ottima esperienza grazie, nice and interesting video thank you

When using tools (bars) you should also use the reflective board. It gives you a much better chance of seeing where the tool tip is in relation to the area you're trying to left. Good work on the glue pulling. 👍

Great video, I had this huge dent on my plastic bumper, I couldn’t believe just using boiling water and elbow grease took out the dent.

Superb video... I have a pdr kit.. and the tabs fall off... pros make it look sooo easy...

You did good, start at the small end of the dent first, small led light eith a magnet is good, and so many different rod shapes you could use or make, even out of cheep pry bars from hf. Even out of wood tapered down. Good idea using rubber tips

i would like to see more videos like this

Use some JB Weld for plastic to repair the light. Very useful product line.

Once it gets hard to see the dent on dull paint, I've seen others put some tape over the area to add reflection for the final bits. Can't hurt to try.

I bought the harbor freight body and fender kit, and restored a nasty hit in my rear fender, it's not perfect but it isn't noticeable anymore

@MasterOfNone Good,may I know if it's ok for you to review our foam cannon S V3.0?Thanks in advance!😊

Dip the bars in a plastic coating to make them less harsh

6:44 from that distance I couldn’t even tell there was a dent to begin with!

super glue the light to the suction cup

Great video mate, wrong glue, U need the black one, cheers Graham

GREAT VIDEO!!!.. I FELT LIKE: ''I WAS WATCHING MYSELF!!!" hahahaha!!!.. Really Great 'Truthful, Honest, HELPFUL' PDR VIDEO.. Good Job.. & Soo Glad You left 'the busting of the lamp' in.. 10 out of 10 Bub!!..

Suction cups with an air pump will do a way better job. And I have never seen so short dent rods. I have a striped hand sail instead of the striped led lamp. Does the same job, but is way easier to handle. But all in all it looks *way* better now

"Your expertise is truly inspiring! Would you please consider letting me be your assistant in learning DIY paintless dent repair? I'm eager to learn and assist in any way I can. Thanks for considering!

Try the black glue.

Keep in mind that these videos show professionals with pro pdr gear, charging the car owners hundreds, if not thousands of dollars to repair.

Depending where you are in the world to fix a dent could cost from a medium amount to something that doesn’t make any economic sense, if repair it’s been done by a “professional. On the other hand , every skill acquired it will help out you and the ones around you for a life time . All it takes it’s patience and trying. Like that I ve learned to diagnose my cars alone , to do body repairs to a more than satisfactory condition, now I m into timing chain and engine repair. Don’t be put back by any so called professional or the other category that will not replace a wiper to their car in their life time . Every time you don’t succeed you re closing down towards a better outcome than the last . When you start again , you don’t start from scratch but from experience. To be fair to everyone, PDR it’s not for everyone but if tried it will help narrow down some areas that other wise will need some capital repairs probably and than you can find other classic methods to finish off . Also a big thank you to the professional that share here in the comments some of the trades secrets, most of the times it’s about to get to see it as a professional see it . Other than that all the best to everyone and yeah, good and informative material . Keep it up .

Respect to the professionals but the advantage of getting those tools and trying by yourself is that 1. you will gain experience and eventually learn with patience. 2. You can do as many as you have accumulated over time. 3. Pros are very expensive. A 1 inch ding repair cost $150 in my area. I already got 95% repairs on 3 dings of my wife's new car that happened on the hood that occurred just a week after she got it and a huge fender strike by a electric mopad run-away kid on my own car. (Quoted $600-900 by local PDR pros while the actual panel cost $350 painted... Not including installation). For a small fraction you can get those tools and have at least a 80% repair. Then bring it to a PDR pro for a final (and cheaper) repair. So, no harm on having those cheap sets and trying to save some of your hard-earned money while increasing knowlwedge. 😊

Dentless repair is mostly for aluminum panels.

Oh by the way take a good healthy spit on the suction cups spread it around lol

Great vid, did anyone else have to sit through that stupid fake ai vid with David Beckem before hand ?.

I didn't do THAT bad did I?

You have a glue gun... you can use that to soften the tip on that tool

The pulling angle was wrong!

I think ur supposed to twist the rod not use it as a pry bar

Please go to a professiona pdr tech to get a perfect result. The tools that we use are much better and away more expensive. Pdr techs need years to get the skills for doing their jop well. Don’t waste your monye and spend it wisely ✌️ I think you should mention that in your video. Thank you and good luck for youre channel 🤙

you obviously didn't watch enough PDR videos because if you had you would have known to thoroughly clean and even polish the area first if necessary to give the glue tabs the best chance to hold than you would have released the tension in the dents with those things you called plastic points (ie: knockdown tool) which at least with the first dent would have probably removed 80% of the dent without doing anything else and by trying to pull the second dent without knocking down the crest all you did was stretch the metal and the squeezy thing is called a mini lifter.......

what i learned most of these products are waste of time & money😄

Why is everybody make a video that doesn't have any experience no offense

I'm betting you just don't have the skill set. Give these tools to a pro and see what they can do. Dont blame the tools when the user knows not what he is doing.

I always trust Dentless Touch with my cars. @dentlesstouch
