My hat is off to you sir. Finally someone coming out with an outstanding video in PDR it's like a school for free. You are an amazing individual and extremely detailed. I've seen hundreds of videos nothing compares to this one. I wish you the best success in your business because you're helping me with mine thank you so much sir
@@1st_track_dents Thank you my friend . I would also like to mention I would love to see a video on Tools you would use starting out in the business and definitely auto access points
I¨m a dent tech myself and I was surprised at your generosity in sharing what to many is a well hidden secret. It shouldn¨t be on that we agree because at the end of the day it all goes down to personal skils and being professional and not only knowing the tecnichal details about the use of light or having a fancy set of tools. It´s a very interesting approach to me because I go the other way round, that is first thing tap down the crown. I´ll try your way and let you know the results. Not everyone is prepared to explain what they do in detail and it´s the explanation what´s convincing. Best regards from Argentina.
Thank you for your kind words. Not every crown needs tapping down first, every dent is different, there is no harm in experimenting as we learn by our mistakes and that is how we improve. I could have tapped the crown down first but I believe it would have made no difference at all on this dent, there are no hard and fast rules, just guidance and other peoples opinions. All the best to you:-)
I have been following paintless dent removal on youtube now for about four months. You are by far one of the best on youtube. It is everything about how you approach sharing your knowledge and expertise. The why and the how and the correct tool to use. Thank you so much, I have much to learn , but with videos like yours interested persons can gain knowledge and perspective so much faster. The dent you removed in this video is the very dent i have on my car. I will remove it myself and I in time will feel the confidence to take it on and repair it to perfection. Thank you so much, and good luck.
Thank you for your comment and your kind words, I really appreciate it and I wish you the very best of luck with learning PDR and on repairing your own dent! 👍👍👍
Somebody give this man a TV show. I would DVR the hell out of it to watch on weekends. He makes these cars factory fresh every single time! I do autobody repair and paint on the side and WOW I would love to be able to do this instead. We would have snatched that fender off. Sanded, primed painted cleared ....ugh.
This is by far the best PDR channel in TH-cam. Such great content and clear, concise explanation about how to determine the fix and how to do it. Thanks for posting
I appreciate the way you thoroughly explain your work in detail, how the dent is made and how to remove it and each tool you use for each process. That's very exellent work done.
This video just gave me a new appreciation for the art and science of PDR, not to mention the amount of patience and attention to detail that is necessary to do this right. My hat is off to you Sir.
You are an absolute star.. I have used your techniques to remove 3 dents from my cbr900 fireblade fuel tank.. the tank is an odd shape (motorcycle) so obviously going to be a nightmare to work on, someone at some point had punched the tank but now I would say its unnoticeable to the untrained eye Thank you :)
Jake I’m always amazed by what you do. Your PDR skills are second to none. You could always give up the tools and go into the classroom and teach but I suspect you won’t earn as much! Keep up the great work.
Thanks mate, good to hear from you. I'm enjoying making the videos at the moment, not sure what I'll be doing next, like you, I like to be busy. All the best :-)
It's great to watch the magic of a professional do paintless dent repair. I am trained in the old school body shop type of repair but more and more find myself attracted to PDR. I have been somewhat successful using the standard body tools, wood blocks, and nylon hammers. I just started using glue tabs with more success and it looks like my next step is to acquire the bendable tools and the peening tools. Your videos are an excellent source of training and give great attention to detail. Thank you for the excellent instruction.
WOW! This was so informative. I don’t know how you’re able to film it from so many angles and work at the same time but I’m so happy you’re doing it. I’m no expert, but I think you are one of the best if not the best in this business. And you make hands down the best pdr videos on youtube! 👏👏👏👍
Thanks MINT, it's not easy filming these repairs as lots of things out of your control always happen! But I think I have perfected a technique of filming them which doesn't take as long as it used to. I enjoy the editing side, even though it takes me late into the night/early morning! Thanks for your time, I really appreciate your comment :-)
Sir, may I congratulate you on your accurate analysis of the forces required to correct those dents. You have great knowledge and experience of the behavior of materials and you coax them to regain their original shape with such gentle touches. I love the manner in which you minimize the angle of the crown to a flatter one so that the vectors opposing you will be not directly against what forces you apply. Sir, you are a gentleman full of logic, excellent reasoning and such rational thinking where you look through every step before you leap. Once again, my heartiest congratulations. You do respect your customers and so that is the way to success, Wish you all the best. You are a good man.
Probably the best I have seen,due to circumstances I am forced to look at a new job, this has always fascinated me, I love car body work looking it's best, you have encouraged me to give it a go, I have access to car panels, my mate teaches mechanics, and people donate cars that are basically right offs, uneconomical repairs, might need some basic tools, if you could advise, thanks even just photos ,I could make my own, been on tools most of my life, cheers
Welcome again Jake! Great job, as always, and excellent graphics and diagram explanations. You just mix the 2 most important things to do great videos in this bussines: Theory & Field work, all in one. Congratulations, continue like this!!
That is some serious work. I love how you love doing what you can do. Hands down and All praises foe you Sir. Respect. Edit : I don't own a car. Or dont have car business. Here just to appreciate your heart at work.
El mejor que he visto hasta el dia de hoy! Fantastico acabado y buenisima explicacion! Muchas gracias. Una pena no ser tan habilidoso y tener tu paciencia.👍👏👏👏👏
Good morning Jake, just beautiful work as usual. We have aquired a set of dent tools to rough out metal work. Your talent and expertise has really helped us become more efficient at our metal work. Thanks for a great video. You take care.
I would really liketo know where i can go to get this hands on training ? Man you where phenomanal with that i had never seen this done before it blew my mind away. 100% perfextion. My man
one of the best videos iv seen anywhere, very very well described i like it. what kind of umbrella / holder do you use looks very good and not bank breaking like some out there lol. i assume this was to help you see the dent better?? just starting out and tried taking dent out my silver car, couldnt see anything with my fog till i put the car in the garage for shade. keep the videos coming jake really enjoyed that.
Thanks Paul, the umbrella generally goes up more when the sun is out, more than when it is raining, although on this job it was raining quite a lot and was hammering down by the time I finished! I made the umbrella stand out of materials that used to be thrown in the skip at one of the companies i used to do a lot of work for, so didn't cost anything to make, just my time. The umbrella is just a fishing umbrella, could do with a more opaque one though as the sun still gets through a bit on those really sunny days!
@@1st_track_dents thanks would be great to see how you made it looks good especially for side panels just the right height, really sunny days are unusual so bout 5 days a year id imagine lol.
@@paulmc9314 Yes seeing the sun is very rare here. I haven't actually finished making it, I mocked up quickly to test it and have been using it ever since. Will definitely do a video on it at some point.
@@frogmanvc Thank you, great to see you're still in the PDR business. The umbrella is great, although I have had a few rubbish ones that blow inside out and break in no time at all. This umbrella is the strongest and best one I have bought thus far. The stand I have built is very strong so the wind has no effect on it when my tool box is sitting on it. The only drawback is that it doesn't cover you if you are working on the middle of a roof, bonnet or bootlid. That's where a canopy is best, however, I like to have a small vehicle and with a canopy you really need to be driving a van, and if you don't dry them properly they can start to go mouldy and smell really bad.
Ok that was quite an amazing job👍 You made it look so easy, when clearly it's very complicated. Thanks for clear instructions and explanations. It was a joy watching the master at work!
This video was so satisfying to watch but most PDR guys just dont have the balls to even try and do this repair and i live in California and the PDR guys down here are just as expensive as the body shops and with the true sun light your going to see all those little taps in the finish remove and replace and blend it the car is to new for touch up paint my opinion still a fantastic job tho 👋👍

Absolute genius with both dent repair and filming!
I said no way. Way! I’ve been doing body repair for 40 years and find your technique fascinating.
I probably would have said 'no way' 15 years ago put we keep pushing the boundaries of what PDR can do :-)
