Most small dents come out pretty well. Be patient and eventually they come out. Here is an Amazon link to the kit: amzn.to/3zhWqbQ Disclosure, this is a promotional link. No change in price to you.
You did a great job but Isopropyl alcohol would make the glue come off easier and the line board, if positioned behind the dent, would allow you to see the dent and weather it still needs to be pulled more, is level, or over pulled into a crown. I have a similar dent or three in my car and have already ordered the PDR kit, I hope I can do the repair as well as you have. Thank you for the video, it gives me more courage to attempt the repair myself.
You can finish the rest on a hot day. Let the dent set exposed to the sun then use a can of air duster and hold upside down letting frozen liquid out onto the dent. The dented area will shrink up pulling metal flat. I've used this method several times.
@@HomeStatOfficialIf you flip a can of air duster, like they use in offices to clean keyboards, upsidedown the liquid will start to come out really really cold. So I'm guessing if you spray that frozen liquid on a hot panel it will have some sort of reaction forcing it to pop the dent out. 🤷♂️
Very helpful video, thanks. I bought the same kit on Amazon. I have a tiny dent, I'm not sure it's going to work for me. I am afraid if I pull up more than enough it will popup and get worse.
Sounds like perhaps it wasn't a bird at all, you say after you cleaned up the shit there was a dent left behind? Perhaps you drove thru the ghetto and someone tweaked out a shit off a fire escape and when it traveled down a few flights left a dent.
They need to invent a variable magnet with different sized bases that will pull a small dent flush and even with the base. A one-time pull. Comprende? Lo entiendes? Do you get my drift?
amazing job ... sir just want to know how i can use the glue ? i mean is the gun heating up the glue before i can apply to the dent ? cause someone did small dent on my fender about an inch .
Looks a good tool, but I'd be really concious of creating extra damages everytime you drop the little puller onto the car's paint work - I cringed everytime it happened and there seems to be a long scratch next to the dint after the third attempt - ouch ! But thanks for sharing.
My mom asked me to pull the dents from Hail out of her car as she had bought a kit from amazon...no problem or so I thought....went over counted around 90 dents watched this video then told her to call her insurance...this would take days to complete, lol....
Some people just like the satisfaction of doing something with their own hands, being independent, and having the ability of doing it over and over. Saving money is one side of it, but there are more sides to most DIYers.
What he sprayed on the panel was not oil, it was IPA (Isopropyl alcohol), what he should have sprayed on the glue after each pull making it easier to remove. Or you could mean the squeaking noise the puller was making, thus needing oiled.
Same question here. Have a small dent similar to above with a paint chip. Want to pull out dent before touching up. Afraid the glue may remove additional paint.
@@lwhittyas a pdr beginner, I don’t recommend glue pulling it. If the paint of the car isn’t a factory painted then glue pulling the dent will cause the paint to pull off as well
I feel that you are just a beginner at pdr.... Reason i say this is BECAUSE YOUR NOT EVEN USING YOUR LINEBORD,that is literally the first thing ANY pdr tech learns how to use... you literally have that light on for no reason
He literally is moron! He said he bought a kit and has done a few dent before! He didn’t go to school. Give helpful advice instead of being a moronic critic
You're supposed to clean off the excess glue after every single pull....man,this guy has absolutely NO IDEA what he is doing, there are zero reasons to take advice from this beginner
@Nolan320 i am actually an autobody specialist with 5 years experience,nevertheless it does not take a "PDR pro" to have tips and tricks to protect paint and clear coat when working outside of your trained profession.. On another note..this guy is using the line board only because he thinks it makes him look like a true pro lmao...he isnt even using the effin thing,he just has it on;reflecting atleast 2.5 inches away from the dent he is working on...A LINE BOARD IS NOT FOR LOOKS,IT IS AN ACTUAL TOOL WHICH UTILIZES ITS REFLECTION TO MAKE THE TARGET DENT MORE VISIBLE AND EASY TO ANALYZE...ALSO the line board helps you keep track of the tip of your push rod as you are pushing from the backside of the dent...other than getting lucky,how else can you assure that you are pushing on the exact part of the dent you are aiming for?... I promise you this,and this statement is valid for EVERY SINGLE PROFFESSION YOU CAN THINK OF...if you dont know how to use your tools effectively and efficiently,YOU ARE NOT A "PRO".... Im not full of myself,i know im not a "PDR PRO"....but i can use my tools with confidence and ALWAYS stand by my work.
looks like he did a pretty good job to me . the dent is gone. but yes cleaning the area before more pulls would be good practice. but he knows what hes doing by the way he pulled it smalk bits at a time.
@jesseurlacher5773 cleaning the area has little to do with the amount of dance that is left over when he is done, not cleaning the surface will make it more difficult for the glue to adhere, but the absolute most important thing to do is to clean the surface because that is the most effective way you can lower chances of scratching the paint we're chipping the paint. Cleaning the surface beforehand isn't as much of a tip as it is proper procedure for any kind of body work...weather your sanding,pullin dents,or applying vinyl wrap you ALWAYS clean the surface beforehand..
Bbbahahahahahhahahahahahab " it's getting harder for me to see the dent so I'm going to put some marks around here" what do you think the line board is even 4?... why is a beginner trying to give advice
You should listen more carefully - he addresses the angle of the line board at about 50 seconds in. Clearly the camera is not at the same angle as his head. No need to be adversarial.
If you're doing this in the cold, it's a good idea to use a heat gun (or hairdrier) to heat the paint up so it will not chip. Additionally, alcohol should be used to get rid of the glue, it comes right off. I'll be trying this on my new (to me) BMW which comes with dents on the hood "pre-installed". God help me.
