This is the best dent removal video I have seen as everything was explained in plain English, I know body lines can be awkward but this was a pleasure to watch , thank you
Wow thank you Peter! I really appreciate your kind feedback and reading this gives me a massive boost to continue showing my repairs to you guys I really appreciate it thanks again Martin 🙌🏼
The best craftsman I’ve ever seen on you tube. 99% of workers would have been done half way through and told the customer “that’s the best I can do at that price. If you want it better, it will be more.” But not my mate. Absolute pride in work and sheer perfection is the only standard for this fine man. Just brilliant work.
I'm a 60 year old bricklayer, I've been doing it since I was a kid working with my Dad and brothers. I can't count the times I've heard, "you make it look so easy". You Sir, made it look easy which is a compliment to your craft. Exceptional work and a fine video as well.
Thank you for your kind comment, I’ve tried brick laying and there’s a lot more to it than placing bricks on cement! We both have a great skillset and you should be proud of yourself 🙌🏼 Thanks for watching Martin
Thank you Kevin, very kind of you to say this. It’s unbelievable how many people just see cost as a main factor and would rather have a cheap and possibly substandard repair carried out. Your comment and others like yours inspires me to keep on pushing!! Thanks Martin
I started painting with my Grandfather at age 9 in the Bahamas back in 1972. I have been a professional painter home restoration contractor since 1980. I've been a pretty decent mechanic and repairman as well. Being a perfectionist myself I can easily recognize one when I see one. This is hands-down bar none the highest-quality dent repair work I have ever seen in my life. This blows my mind that somebody could have this kind of talent to where they can repair a car to this level of quality. I'm giving you a pat on the back and you need to give yourself one as well you are a true professional which is something you don't see much anymore. You fixed this dent the way I fix houses and other things, with nothing but quality in mind making it the best that it can be. It is easily as good as and probably better than the day it rolled off the factory floor. Unbelievable!! I can't say enough good about it there are no words to describe it. The level of workmanship surpasses anything I've ever seen in my life!! On a scale from 1 to 100... I can't say because I can't fit enough zeroes on the page. You really know your shit when it comes to repairing dents and doing body work. Best Ever hands down - bar none Rolls-Royce needs to hire you as their top body man. Best Wishes, Love and Light. God Bless You and Your Family!! Jimmy in NC....
Totally agree - an excellent job. This guy made it look relatively easy but as well as the specific tools he is using something you don't see which is his knowledge of exactly what to do and when to do it. He obviously has years of experience. As an ex bodywork guy retired years ago the system he used is new to me but works very well on the paper thin metal they use these days. Not to have to damage the paint is a huge advantage. That glue is fantastic !
Hey Jimmy thank you so much for your great comment and well done being in the industry for so long! Bahamas sounds better than Hull il tell you that now! I love to show as much detail as possible in my videos and also try to explain in normal man’s terms what I’m doing. In the hope to educate people who haven’t seen this method before, also for new technicians wanting to learn I hope That these videos help. I’d say I have good skills but I bet there’s people out there who eclipse me on repair quality!! I hope you enjoy my new videos and again thank you so much for your kind comment it’s great to hear other people’s views and life experiences and passion Thanks Martin 🙌🏼
Hi Chris thanks for your comment and well done for being in the trade like Jimmy in the comment above. The glue method has been around for a few years and the tools have got better and better over time. It’s able to pull soft metal, thick metal and aluminium too Thanks for commenting and I’m very happy you enjoyed my content Thanks Martin
Fascinating, intelligent video. You are a mixture of an artist, mechanic and engineer to create this visual perfection in the wing. I was awestruck at the intensity of the work needed to recreate the wheel arch. Impressed is an understatement.
Thank you for your kind comment. Yes there’s a lot of very meticulous tweaking going on behind a panel to repair it to a good quality. I’m very happy you appreciated the work involved and even more so that you enjoyed my video I hope you find my other videos entertaining too when you have time Thanks Martin
I couldn't have said it better myself. I'm a retired CGMAT (US thing!) that apprenticed in a body shop for about 2 years in the 70's, and I was mesmerized by watching you. Brilliant. You are an artist for sure. 💯 👍👍
Thank you JD4x4 and others who’ve liked this OP from Megapangolin I really appreciate your kind words. And yes I agree I do sometimes thing of my repairs like an artist would once they’d finished painting. I’m very OCD so some of these repairs take a long time to complete. Hope you all have a great Christmas and thanks for commending JD4x4 and others
Its probably his car! lol. Just kidding. How does someone find a good repairman for this? I have dents on a relatively perfect 22 yr old car. Then careless a-holes open their doors without thinking. and gave me a few dings
Indeed, I've seen a lot of videos, but only now it became 100% clear how it works. If the lines are pinching, it needs to be tapped down, otherwise, it needs to be pulled up. Clear! Thanks so much!
@@dentremover01 oh great you are replying to comments! I am about to buy a 2008 BMW which has a few small dents and I'm planning on trying to fix them on their own, just because I also like working with my hands. I wanted to tell you, your videos are very enjoyable to watch, I'm assuming you are editing them yourself. Soothing voice, good quality recordings, very well edited. I sometimes watch them just for fun! But hey, you were clearly in a better shape a few years ago when you started, pay attention to your health man, I want you to live long and prosper, if I may be so bold 😅 cheers bud!
@@basesperanca lol thank you!!! Wise words there and I agree il grown in a few ways haha I’m aware of this!! And I’ve gone grey too from all the stress! I do edit the videos myself and this takes a very long time sometimes. My BMW video took over 100hrs to edit Regards my health again I’m working on this already to get me down a few stone! It’s hard work! I wish you all the very best with your own repairs but please if you struggle- STOP and call a professional for help/guidance because you MAY make it worse and then it will need painting But any help you may need then your welcome to ask and il do my best to answer All the best Martin
@@dentremover01 absolute legend mate, much appreciated, I will take this offer. I would not worry about the grey, the ladies love a George Clooney 😎 best wishes to you, cheers!
Unbelievable! How carelessly is the term 'perfectionist' commonly used in everyday conversations. I'll be returning to this video whenever I need to remind myself what a real perfectionist looks like!
You're a genius! the end result is stunning! I was scared all along the second part of the video because I was thinking "Please stop, don't overdo it, you're gonna ruin a perfectly acceptable and great result by the one hit too many..." and gosh was I wrong!? I find beauty and poetry in any mancraft perfectly mastered. You make the world a better place, Sir! i'm probably still a bit drunk from yesterday, but still, I mean it!
Thanks Charlie!! Thanks for your great comment and hope you didn’t get a hang over from your drinking! I take a lot of pride in my work as you can see and it’s great that people see this Have a great Christmas Martin
Thank you! That’s why I do an in-depth video on how it’s done! Or else people don’t believe it OR they can’t see the value in our method. People simply think dents can be popped out to 100% in seconds which doesn’t happen in real life unfortunately Thanks for watching, hope you subscribed! Thanks Martin
Amazing. I'd never realised how meticulous and high tech the methods were to repair dents. It fills me with confidence that you can do this kind of work so professionally. A great watch, thank you.
Thank you David i appreciate your comment. Yes it’s very involved and a lot of people don’t see this. They just see it pop out and then don’t like the price. They forget about the 20 years experience and all the outgoings to run a business! Thanks for watching 🙌🏼
Thank you that’s amazing! Very kind of you to say and this is the kind of comment which drives me to make more content 🙌🏼 thank you and good luck with your learning
P.d.r . Is one of those things that is just not possible for a d-i-y-er like myself. The experience is just too out of reach not to mention the tools required. It truly is an art. Well worth the money for service. This is a good industry to be involved in as not too many people have the ability to do it. I'll gladly pay my p.d.r. guy anytime. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for your great comment! I really appreciate it and that you see the worth in PDR and the technicians who do this day to day. It’s so easy to say “where to expensive” “that’s easy” and “bodyshops cheaper” it’s not until your pride and joy gets damaged and you just want that dent out and no paint at all, when the value of the skill comes clear. Great comment and thanks for watching 🙌🏼
Wow. Great job! You know, I’ve just recently learned PDR is even a thing and I’m beyond impressed with the talent involved with this craft. Keep up the good work. You are truly a talented individual!
Thanks AusNorman really appreciate your comment and yes that’s right I use my panel beating sills and PDR skills to fix damage. And agree it saves time money and hassle not having to replace panels or repaint . Thanks Martin
That really was some impressive work and you attention to the fine detail is admirable. having the right tools for the job and having such a high level of skill with said tools has given a first class repair. Well done you.
Hi Mark thank you, yes there’s some nice repair saves! It took a good few years to get to this standard and as you rightly say having the right tools certainly helps Thank you for watching and commenting Martin
this video is an absolute delight ... no suspense as whether it would be a perfect job, but it had me glued to every second of the process because of the matriculate craftmanship , radiating with enthusiasm and charm all along !!! Salute !!!
Amazing comment and thank you so much for your great feedback! Always hard to make something like this interesting!! New videos coming soon which I hope you’ll enjoy too
I was going to say you make it look easy, but getting those kind of results looks easy for someone with a lot of training (classroom or on the job), experience, and the right tools. You are doing some amazing work there! You have inspired me to see how far I can get towards making something look less bad with an hour of TH-cam, no experience, and minimal set of tools. The key to my success will be keeping my expectations low for my first attempt. Thanks for the inspiration!
What is the glue u use?I am old blokeand try to repair any thing,generally find ordinary hot melt glue unsatisfactory compared to contact cement,epoxies,or super glue.I was intrigued by the video,having only heard of pointless dent removal,always thought it was done by using spoons cleverly. I WOULD LIKE TO LEARN MORE WHERE DO I GO,I AM IN COUNTRY AUSTRALIA THANKS FOR WHAT I LEARNT SO FAR. STEPHEN.I MIGRATED FROM UK IN 1949 TO THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF OZ,BEST COUNTRY IN WORLD.
@@stephenandrews1965 there are glues sold specifically for this if you search “paintless dent removal” or “PDR”. What I don’t know is how different those glues are from some of the other hot melt glues available. The advantage of hot melt for this is that it does NOT form the same type of permanent bond that epoxy or superglue do. Those would tear the paint off of the car, but the PDR glues just come unstuck. If it were me, I would try it with cheaper hot melt glues first, because what do you have to lose?
Hi Kevin, and Stephen. Apologies for the delay in replying. Glue pulling can be quick to learn but it’s the knocking down of the damage and blending it back to the original shape which takes time and skill. The glue sticks are formulated to give a great bond, but to peel off as one, the diy sticks can go brittle quick and be a pain to remove. Also there’s other factors to take into account. Panel temp, temp or your location. cleaned surface, the time in which you leave to set and make the pull etc. also some dents are not glue pull dents and are better repaired with bars and tools. Again experience will help. Hot glue will pull paint off if your not careful and practice will help you figure this out. There’s training centres in Australia, also online training like “Learn PDR online” dent trainer, real world PDR training etc Have a search and you can practice using online help Hope this all makes sense and helps both of you. Thanks Martin
Thank you Brent! Really kind of you to leave a great comment. I have a few other really good videos if you ever get time to watch them! Thanks again Martin
Heck of a lot of patience required even just watching someone visually appraise feel and listen their way to complete this process. I would live with dent and just reply its developed character, Ha!
Lol thanks Michael! It’s satisfying to do and watch I think?! Like picking wallpaper off but I’d rather leave that on the wall 🤣🤣🙌🏼 thanks for watching and commenting
excellent non of the body shops Ive ever encountered worked with this level of precision , good to see someone take pride in their work and not just looking to take someones money while taking the easy way out of the work . a real craftsman and thats a word you dont hear anymore in the US
Thank you Ronnie I really appreciate your kind words. I do put my all into my repairs and to hear the feedback from my customers, and my viewers is satisfying and great to hear. There’s still a lot of guys out there in bodyshops doing this type of work…. You just gotta look! Thanks again and all the best 🙏
I'm watching this video over and over, it's a quality tutorial that I very much appreciate. Thank you! I'm also saving this video for future reference.
Nicely done 👍 I was considering pulling a similar dent from my own vehicle (I’m not a dent repair guy by any means), but now that I’ve seen how much work and skill is involved I’ll leave it to the pro’s 😂 Thanks for the very informative video!
Hi George thanks for your comment. It’s harder than it looks and it’s always best to seek advice from a professional first. Then you can decide if you want to tackle it or not yourself☺️🙏
@@dentremover01 thank you for the reply. I completely agree and so it remains as it was, dented. 😂 Perfect timing as well since only a few hours ago I added a new dent 😪
Hey Jake! Thank you sir I always await your verdict on my videos! The damage didn’t look much until I really evaluated it. That bottom edge could have gone 2 ways and it took me the right way this time! I eased off on the music from last videos and I think it flows great! It’s hard to keep finding music that goes! Take care matey and keep pushing 🙌🏼
Thank you Mark I really appreciate your comment and it’s refreshing to hear that someone sees the value in my work! It’s not always about price I repair every vehicle like it’s my own. Thanks for watching and have a great day 🙌🏼
I've been a panel beater for 35yrs and I always hated using filler, it is great how things have changed, I've always thought OCD and bodywork go hand in hand.TH-cam videos like this are such a great source of knowledge, really looking forward to binge watch on your other videos.
Hi Carl thank you for your great comment Yes your right when I was panel beating I always tried to do an extra bit here and there. While learning PDR I was able to metal finish a lot of repairs and file them up and polish the surface to a mirror then progressing onto not filing down the surface meaning I was doing PDR Again with PDR I can spend hours fine tuning that dent so it’s as good as possible There’s a lot of great PDR videos out there and my latest ones keep getting Better Thanks for watching and commenting and feel free to comment On the other vids if you like something Thanks Martin
When you showed the price breakdown to begin with, I was shocked. But give you credit, seeing how much effort and skill goes into your repair, worth every penny
Thank you David. At last someone can see the value in PDR. The prices and estimate given was an example to show what it could be say if it went through insurance. At the end of the day a repair like this, to “magic” a dent from a car should be invaluable to someone wanting their car back to factory condition. Thanks for your comment I really appreciate it 🙌🏼
Wow! I never know Russel Crowe has a Twin Brother who excels in Car Dent repair. Big thanks, with your superb video i feel confident now to proceed with my own DIY car dent repair.🎉
Terrific job, I have similar dents in my front wing just above the leading edge body line.it will be my first attempt at glue pulling I just hope to improve the dents but if I get it perfect then that will be a bonus. Thanks for your tips Martin, just waiting for the weather to improve. Best wishes to you for the future.
Hi Michael, thanks for your comment, all I can say is take it very steady and get use to the way it all works. Front wings are usually accessible from inside so with the correct tools you may be able to ease the damage out? Good luck and I hope you can get a good finish 👍🏼 Martin
I had one of these guys over at my ship to get a big dent in a polished stainless steel heated tanker 18 gauge jacket sheeting .He dident think he could do it but 30 minutes later he nailed it.
Best video I've seen on the subject. I've been paint correcting, paint restoring and ceramic coating vehicles for a number of years and under pressure from some of my customers to provide dent repair as well. Still a long way to go with the research but you've gained a new subscriber, great channel !!👍
Great choice on tackling dent repair using hot glue! This technique is really innovative in the world of paintless dent removal (PDR). It's fascinating how hot glue can be used effectively for such precise and delicate work. I'd love to hear more about how this method compares to traditional techniques in terms of efficiency and final results. Keep exploring these unique solutions!
Thank you and sorry for the delayed reply Glue pulling is the best method for fixing dents with no paint damage. Even Bodyshops are adopting Glue pulling to save time and not damaging the metal using weld pins. But it’s not an easy technique to glass a repair like I do. And finding a good PDR tech to glue pull takes time to speak to and see their work.
Really enjoy your videos! You explain your techniques really well and you are a true dent wizard!! I spent several hours today with a “deluxe” PDR kit from Amazon for $40. I removed 2 dents including one which was on the upper curved part behind the B-pillar on my BMW M4. It was nasty but I got it about 95% perfect. I couldn’t be happier and I hope to get it to near 100% next weekend! My biggest tip for novices like me with a cheap kit is be ready for a lot of repetition and don’t give up. The rewards are well worth the effort. Cheers from Texas! 🍻
Excellent work again Martin. I think you should invest in some heating system for your work shop to keep a constant working temp this would aid the repairs and keep your body in healthy condition for the long term 🇬🇧👍
Hi Bill, thanks for your kind words! And for joining us the other night on Those Dent Guys Yes I have a heater, but with it on you can’t hear so not so good for filming! I did have it on in between shooting I will hopefully have a suspended ceiling put in this year so this will really help keep the warmth in I hate been cold! Take care, Martin
Very impressed with that. I did a panel beating and spraying YTS many many years ago (showing my age) and we used to use tac welded pins and a slide. Im amazed at how the industry has come on.
Well done. That’s still a common panel beating technique and the bodyshops are still in the dark ages. I often repair dents with PDR for them- they then buy the kit thinking they can do it themselves😱
I just tripped across this video, and I must say, you are a miracle worker! Being in California I obviously won't ever be able to use your services, but if I need someone to fix a dent here, I hope I can find one with your talent. I was impressed!
Hi Ned thanks for taking time to watch my video! There’s a few great techs in your area if you google Paintless dent removal California then they should come up 🙌🏼
What an amazing job. Thank you for sharing. I really like details and showing us how it looked with the lights is astonishing. Out of curiosity (and also newbie question), in this scenario, which items did you use to polish?
It's funny but I made a bet with my self that when I thought you were done. Well, you were not done by far. This is due to your OCD. !!!!!!!! I have it too. Everything has to be PERFECT. I also noticed that you take great pride in your work. Not just for the camera!!!!!!!!!!! Keep up the great work my friend. Big time.
Thanks Tim. I got the ocd! I’m never happy with my repairs! But I keep going and try my best and it works out good in the end! Thanks for your great comment mate 🙌🏼
@@dentremover01 we just had a hail storm last night in Dallas and I watched a few of these to see if I could do it myself. While I would have the attention to detail, the tool cost may make it cheaper for me to go through insurance. 😄
I wanted to compliment you on your video. Your results. And then I think of doing my car, 4 years of smaller damages on my Mustang. I can only hope to my paintless repairs!!!
Your work is spot on. I'm trying to lift a dent to fill and paint. I could borrow a spotjpin puller but don't always to rip holes. Watching this I think the glue I have is letting me down. Ace work keep it up!! 👍
Spot on it’s worth getting some glue repair kits, look at CamAuto they make great collision glue tabs and their glue is the strongest too Will be quicker and better than taking the paint off and welding pins to the panel
I damaged my tail gate and I got a glue tab pull kit, and after hours of work It seemed to be a waste of time. Now , some generous driver gave me a nice round dent above the back window. You gave me incentive to try again. Thanks
Hi Peter thanks! i didnt use lead but used plenty of body filler before i started pdr! PDR has been around for decades it was just not known about or publicised
Not sure why I subscribed but I did! This was fascinating. When I was young, I worked for a while straightening frames after mishaps and accidents. Then I finished college and grad school and spent a career in IT. THIS is absolutely brilliant. I’d kind of like to start a new career! LoL!
Thanks for subscribing John I really appreciate it 🙏 I think IT is a great career you should keep at it! But anyone can learn this skillset or trade with practice. Watch a few more vids and see what you think 🙌🏼 Thanks Martin
Random video in my feed, never seen or contemplated how a panel would get repaired. Captivated from start to finish, great mix of explanation and demonstration. I’m sure many a person watches these and goes to buy their pullers. I can imagine that often doesn’t go that well for them and this takes a lot of practise and honing of skills to get the type of finish you showed off here. But great to see another good person taking their time out to share knowledge and do so this well. Can’t wait to see what else you get up to on this channel!
Hi Th3BatFink wow thanks! I’m so glad you thought to give my video a try and even better that you enjoyed it and the SMART repair method I showed! Yes there’s a lot of people who do try it themselves and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t! But my main goal for my channel was to educate and promote Paintless Dent Removal (PDR) as it’s not a well known method in the motor repair industry and common knowledge I have many other great videos with new ones every month I hope you subscribed and if you did then thank you. We just clicked over 30.000 🙌🏼 Thanks again Martin
Hi Jim. Yes PDR is cheaper than a conventional repair. But to be honest it should be the same price or more because we’re able to save the panel from painting- meaning we can rectify the damage and keep the panel original. Not lowering the value of the vehicle. To me that sounds priceless and to many customers not Wanting their pride and joy repainted we will go the extra mile to make sure that repair is glassed Thanks for your good question Martin

Absolutely fantastic. I have a cheaply bought 02' F150 that has some "dings" in the hood and front left quarter panel that I would like to tackle so videos like this are just the thing.
You're such a funny likable fellow and good at your craft. I went to a pdr guy recently after hitting my own mirror and it smacking the door and denting it right on the body line top of the door just near the window which is exactly why I was looking for a body line video that brought me to your content and I'm telling you, now, That those special lights you guys use show up every imperfection in a car paint job well, we sure had one of these lights to take with me when I went car shopping because there's so many dents in my car that I wasn't even aware of crazy. Great video thanks, I have faith that my car can be repaired now even though the PDR guy was a little bit dubious if he could fix it given the location relative to the body line. 😊
Yes they do and this is bad for the car, as each weld then burns the inside of the panel and if not treated will rust from the inside out. Glue pulling is the best option
Thank you. I enjoyed the video. I was a panel beater and sprayer many moons ago but never tried this. Some nice person has dinged my car so I've got an excuse to buy a repair kit.
Hey buddy uh yeah thanks for your time but I would of gone about it a different way..And screwed it up Worse haha. Great work you guys are good! I've got the same mess on an f150 I bought..I may not belong in the line light but that tool is like cheating that's a good thing..i think may give it a try.
This is the best dent removal video I have seen as everything was explained in plain English, I know body lines can be awkward but this was a pleasure to watch , thank you

I am about to buy a 2008 BMW which has a few small dents and I'm planning on trying to fix them on their own, just because I also like working with my hands. I wanted to tell you, your videos are very enjoyable to watch, I'm assuming you are editing them yourself. Soothing voice, good quality recordings, very well edited. I sometimes watch them just for fun! But hey, you were clearly in a better shape a few years ago when you started, pay attention to your health man, I want you to live long and prosper, if I may be so bold 😅 cheers bud!
@@basesperanca lol thank you!!! Wise words there and I agree il grown in a few ways haha I’m aware of this!! And I’ve gone grey too from all the stress!
I do edit the videos myself and this takes a very long time sometimes. My BMW video took over 100hrs to edit
Regards my health again I’m working on this already to get me down a few stone! It’s hard work!
I wish you all the very best with your own repairs but please if you struggle- STOP and call a professional for help/guidance because you MAY make it worse and then it will need painting
But any help you may need then your welcome to ask and il do my best to answer
All the best
Martin

Incredible workmanship! Hard to find words to express how impressed I am.

Unbelievable! How carelessly is the term 'perfectionist' commonly used in everyday conversations. I'll be returning to this video whenever I need to remind myself what a real perfectionist looks like!
Wow what a great comment thank you so much!! 😊
You're a genius!
the end result is stunning!
I was scared all along the second part of the video because I was thinking "Please stop, don't overdo it, you're gonna ruin a perfectly acceptable and great result by the one hit too many..." and gosh was I wrong!?
I find beauty and poetry in any mancraft perfectly mastered. You make the world a better place, Sir!
i'm probably still a bit drunk from yesterday, but still, I mean it!
Thanks Charlie!! Thanks for your great comment and hope you didn’t get a hang over from your drinking! I take a lot of pride in my work as you can see and it’s great that people see this
Have a great Christmas

I would call this an illusion if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. What a skilled man !
Thank you! That’s why I do an in-depth video on how it’s done! Or else people don’t believe it OR they can’t see the value in our method. People simply think dents can be popped out to 100% in seconds which doesn’t happen in real life unfortunately
Thanks for watching, hope you subscribed!
Thanks Martin
Amazing. I'd never realised how meticulous and high tech the methods were to repair dents. It fills me with confidence that you can do this kind of work so professionally. A great watch, thank you.
Thank you David i appreciate your comment. Yes it’s very involved and a lot of people don’t see this. They just see it pop out and then don’t like the price. They forget about the 20 years experience and all the outgoings to run a business!
Thanks for watching 🙌🏼
Bro…..you’re like a surgeon!!! This was so satisfying to watch!!!!
Thank you! It is satisfying!
You are really really real dent repair guy.
You know more than enough what you doing.
Perfect
Thank you Surinder for your kind comment. I’m very happy you enjoyed the repair and video
I just tried this myself and searched through TH-cam and this is the best video I have found! This guy is a master, I'm still learning.
Thank you that’s amazing! Very kind of you to say and this is the kind of comment which drives me to make more content 🙌🏼 thank you and good luck with your learning
A true professional in all senses of the word. Excellent dialogue. You made it look so effortless. I take my hat off to you Sir.
P.d.r . Is one of those things that is just not possible for a d-i-y-er like myself. The experience is just too out of reach not to mention the tools required. It truly is an art. Well worth the money for service. This is a good industry to be involved in as not too many people have the ability to do it. I'll gladly pay my p.d.r. guy anytime. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for your great comment! I really appreciate it and that you see the worth in PDR and the technicians who do this day to day. It’s so easy to say “where to expensive” “that’s easy” and “bodyshops cheaper” it’s not until your pride and joy gets damaged and you just want that dent out and no paint at all, when the value of the skill comes clear.
Great comment and thanks for watching 🙌🏼

Amazing comment and thank you so much for your great feedback! Always hard to make something like this interesting!! New videos coming soon which I hope you’ll enjoy too
I was going to say you make it look easy, but getting those kind of results looks easy for someone with a lot of training (classroom or on the job), experience, and the right tools. You are doing some amazing work there!
You have inspired me to see how far I can get towards making something look less bad with an hour of TH-cam, no experience, and minimal set of tools. The key to my success will be keeping my expectations low for my first attempt.
Thanks for the inspiration!
What is the glue u use?I am old blokeand try to repair any thing,generally find ordinary hot melt glue unsatisfactory compared to contact cement,epoxies,or super glue.I was intrigued by the video,having only heard of pointless dent removal,always thought it was done by using spoons cleverly. I WOULD LIKE TO LEARN MORE WHERE DO I GO,I AM IN COUNTRY AUSTRALIA THANKS FOR WHAT I LEARNT SO FAR. STEPHEN.I MIGRATED FROM UK IN 1949 TO THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF OZ,BEST COUNTRY IN WORLD.
@@stephenandrews1965 there are glues sold specifically for this if you search “paintless dent removal” or “PDR”. What I don’t know is how different those glues are from some of the other hot melt glues available. The advantage of hot melt for this is that it does NOT form the same type of permanent bond that epoxy or superglue do. Those would tear the paint off of the car, but the PDR glues just come unstuck. If it were me, I would try it with cheaper hot melt glues first, because what do you have to lose?
Hi Kevin, and Stephen. Apologies for the delay in replying. Glue pulling can be quick to learn but it’s the knocking down of the damage and blending it back to the original shape which takes time and skill.
The glue sticks are formulated to give a great bond, but to peel off as one, the diy sticks can go brittle quick and be a pain to remove. Also there’s other factors to take into account. Panel temp, temp or your location. cleaned surface, the time in which you leave to set and make the pull etc.
also some dents are not glue pull dents and are better repaired with bars and tools. Again experience will help.
Hot glue will pull paint off if your not careful and practice will help you figure this out.
There’s training centres in Australia, also online training like “Learn PDR online” dent trainer, real world PDR training etc
Have a search and you can practice using online help
Hope this all makes sense and helps both of you.
Thanks Martin

Lovely job as always mate, glue pulling can be so time consuming on jobs like this, but you smashed it, also loving the funky tunes! 😎
Hey Jake! Thank you sir I always await your verdict on my videos! The damage didn’t look much until I really evaluated it. That bottom edge could have gone 2 ways and it took me the right way this time!

I've been a panel beater for 35yrs and I always hated using filler, it is great how things have changed, I've always thought OCD and bodywork go hand in hand.TH-cam videos like this are such a great source of knowledge, really looking forward to binge watch on your other videos.
Hi Carl thank you for your great comment
Yes your right when I was panel beating I always tried to do an extra bit here and there. While learning PDR I was able to metal finish a lot of repairs and file them up and polish the surface to a mirror then progressing onto not filing down the surface meaning I was doing PDR
Again with PDR I can spend hours fine tuning that dent so it’s as good as possible
There’s a lot of great PDR videos out there and my latest ones keep getting
Better
Thanks for watching and commenting and feel free to comment On the other vids if you like something
Thanks Martin
When you showed the price breakdown to begin with, I was shocked. But give you credit, seeing how much effort and skill goes into your repair, worth every penny
Thank you David. At last someone can see the value in PDR. The prices and estimate given was an example to show what it could be say if it went through insurance. At the end of the day a repair like this, to “magic” a dent from a car should be invaluable to someone wanting their car back to factory condition.

Terrific job, I have similar dents in my front wing just above the leading edge body line.it will be my first attempt at glue pulling I just hope to improve the dents but if I get it perfect then that will be a bonus. Thanks for your tips Martin, just waiting for the weather to improve. Best wishes to you for the future.
Hi Michael, thanks for your comment, all I can say is take it very steady and get use to the way it all works. Front wings are usually accessible from inside so with the correct tools you may be able to ease the damage out?
Good luck and I hope you can get a good finish 👍🏼

Great choice on tackling dent repair using hot glue! This technique is really innovative in the world of paintless dent removal (PDR). It's fascinating how hot glue can be used effectively for such precise and delicate work. I'd love to hear more about how this method compares to traditional techniques in terms of efficiency and final results. Keep exploring these unique solutions!
Thank you and sorry for the delayed reply
Glue pulling is the best method for fixing dents with no paint damage. Even Bodyshops are adopting Glue pulling to save time and not damaging the metal using weld pins.
But it’s not an easy technique to glass a repair like I do. And finding a good PDR tech to glue pull takes time to speak to and see their work.
So professional and a brilliant result. Well done on all counts - including the explanations and video editing 👍
Thank you Mr Jones
Really enjoy your videos! You explain your techniques really well and you are a true dent wizard!! I spent several hours today with a “deluxe” PDR kit from Amazon for $40. I removed 2 dents including one which was on the upper curved part behind the B-pillar on my BMW M4. It was nasty but I got it about 95% perfect. I couldn’t be happier and I hope to get it to near 100% next weekend! My biggest tip for novices like me with a cheap kit is be ready for a lot of repetition and don’t give up. The rewards are well worth the effort. Cheers from Texas! 🍻
Hi J Brown amazing comment and apologies for not seeing your post until now.
Congrats fixing your own dents too respect

Excellent work again Martin. I think you should invest in some heating system for your work shop to keep a constant working temp this would aid the repairs and keep your body in healthy condition for the long term 🇬🇧👍
Hi Bill, thanks for your kind words! And for joining us the other night on Those Dent Guys
Yes I have a heater, but with it on you can’t hear so not so good for filming! I did have it on in between shooting
I will hopefully have a suspended ceiling put in this year so this will really help keep the warmth in
I hate been cold!
Take care, Martin
Very impressed with that. I did a panel beating and spraying YTS many many years ago (showing my age) and we used to use tac welded pins and a slide. Im amazed at how the industry has come on.
Well done. That’s still a common panel beating technique and the bodyshops are still in the dark ages. I often repair dents with PDR for them- they then buy the kit thinking they can do it themselves😱
awesome instruction, very helpful. Thank you!
Thank you Bo 🙏

Thank you Barry, those words alone encourage me to keep making great videos for all to watch 🙌🏼
Your work is spot on. I'm trying to lift a dent to fill and paint. I could borrow a spotjpin puller but don't always to rip holes. Watching this I think the glue I have is letting me down. Ace work keep it up!! 👍
Spot on it’s worth getting some glue repair kits, look at CamAuto they make great collision glue tabs and their glue is the strongest too
Will be quicker and better than taking the paint off and welding pins to the panel
I damaged my tail gate and I got a glue tab pull kit, and after hours of work It seemed to be a waste of time. Now , some generous driver gave me a nice round dent above the back window. You gave me incentive to try again. Thanks
Hi Dennis thanks for your comment. Sorry to hear you e picked up another dent and I hope you can get it fixed asap
best pdr i have seen by far. Thank you for taking the time!
My pleasure! Thank you so much
All ways nice to watch some one who knows what they are doing. When I was young lead wiping was still in use. The trade is totally transformed.
Hi Peter thanks! i didnt use lead but used plenty of body filler before i started pdr! PDR has been around for decades it was just not known about or publicised

Random video in my feed, never seen or contemplated how a panel would get repaired. Captivated from start to finish, great mix of explanation and demonstration. I’m sure many a person watches these and goes to buy their pullers. I can imagine that often doesn’t go that well for them and this takes a lot of practise and honing of skills to get the type of finish you showed off here. But great to see another good person taking their time out to share knowledge and do so this well. Can’t wait to see what else you get up to on this channel!
Hi Th3BatFink wow thanks! I’m so glad you thought to give my video a try and even better that you enjoyed it and the SMART repair method I showed!
Yes there’s a lot of people who do try it themselves and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t! But my main goal for my channel was to educate and promote Paintless Dent Removal (PDR) as it’s not a well known method in the motor repair industry and common knowledge

Is this repair cheaper than bumping and paint? I am guessing about 50 percent?
Hi Jim. Yes PDR is cheaper than a conventional repair. But to be honest it should be the same price or more because we’re able to save the panel from painting- meaning we can rectify the damage and keep the panel original. Not lowering the value of the vehicle. To me that sounds priceless and to many customers not Wanting their pride and joy repainted we will go the extra mile to make sure that repair is glassed
Thanks for your good question

Thank you for your comment! Good luck I hope you can repair it yourself 🙌🏼
You're such a funny likable fellow and good at your craft. I went to a pdr guy recently after hitting my own mirror and it smacking the door and denting it right on the body line top of the door just near the window which is exactly why I was looking for a body line video that brought me to your content and I'm telling you, now, That those special lights you guys use show up every imperfection in a car paint job well, we sure had one of these lights to take with me when I went car shopping because there's so many dents in my car that I wasn't even aware of crazy. Great video thanks, I have faith that my car can be repaired now even though the PDR guy was a little bit dubious if he could fix it given the location relative to the body line. 😊
Great video, thank you, not many people wants to share their knowledge and experience. Thank you
Thank you so much for your great feedback 😊🙌🏼
WoW WoW WoW I am speechless. This is a fine art, you are a master. I would hand my Mercedes over to you without hesitation and that is rare.
So cool. I had no idea. I’ve seen the body shop guys weld tiny pins and pull the metal work out. But this is genius.
Yes they do and this is bad for the car, as each weld then burns the inside of the panel and if not treated will rust from the inside out. Glue pulling is the best option
Thank you. I enjoyed the video. I was a panel beater and sprayer many moons ago but never tried this. Some nice person has dinged my car so I've got an excuse to buy a repair kit.
Amazing did you enjoy working in the bodyshop world? Absolutely go and buy some cheap tools and have a go… you never know
There is a hope for my car after watching this inspiring video
Thank you Mark and Happy new year 🙌🏼
Hey buddy uh yeah thanks for your time but I would of gone about it a different way..And screwed it up Worse haha.
Great work you guys are good!
I've got the same mess on an f150 I bought..I may not belong in the line light but that tool is like cheating that's a good thing..i think may give it a try.
Hi Wayne! Thank you! Get practicing on a scrap panel first before you try it on your F150! 🙌🏼
