Mike at "The Dent Company" is an absolute class act person in general and icing on the cake he just happens to be the best PDR tech in Tampa! No question. He's repaired dents in my wife's E Class, my Ferrari, and I need to bring him my truck! It's fun to OCD people like us to watch him work in person. I'm glad to see him here on the channel!
Holy crap this video was almost an hour. I watched the whole thing and didn’t even noticed. I love the production and detail of this video. Wouldn’t expect less from Obsessed Garage.
Very cool to watch. And camera work is a lot smoother now in this one. Stable and smoother transitions. Gettin there. I must say though, I really like the way you and Bryce have been doing it up until now.
The quality of these videos are top notch. Feels like I’m watching big production tv shows. That being said..... I don’t mind your original raw type videos either. That’s what brought a lot of people here I think.
I noticed the camera work immediately!. This guy is serious about PDR. he seemed to soften up towards the end and the pricing was pretty fair. nice video
I’ve had the pleasure of watching a good PDR guy (not quite Mike’s level) remove dents for hours and hours. It’s something I wish I could do but the level of patience, skill, and time required is not something I could do. I can spend 40 hours wetsanding, compounding, and polishing a car, but having to spend 8 hours on a decent sized dent would drive me to insanity. Big ups to PDR technicians who’ve invested so much time perfecting their craft.
These guys are true artists I recently just had my Subaru done by a guy out here in California he’s pretty good a lot like Mike, when I told him I detail cars on the side he asked me to show him all the dents that I thought I had and I was off by one !
Still loving this series. These videos are all so very soothing to watch. Only TH-cam channel I have the bell to get notified of posts set. Keep these coming and I’ll be here watching.
That was really cool!! You can tell the difference immediately. My car is currently being repaired now. I know what to look for upon inspection. Thanks guys
This video is awesome. Tons of great content, and really superb job on the video quality, the angles helped me see what was actually going on with this wizardry or dent repair!! Learned a lot. I actually watched the WHOLE thing!!
TDC and Presidential did two of my cars. I have two more cars being built and they will go strait to them and Autopaintguard from the factory. They are top notch!
When he rubbed the paint with the spray and the towell, did it hurt to watch? Or did you believe the coating would provide enough protection to be negligible.
What a cool PDR video... and epic Si. Was waiting for Matt to whisper "Friggin Awesome" but it didn't happen. Oh well, next video. BTW, you should embroider that on your hats and t shirts next to O. G, in quotes! 😁
What kind of audio setup do you have in the garage? I’ve seen a few quick shots of the speaker towers mounted above the workbench, curious to what the setup is!
Always fun seeing a master work. Very humbling. First time I’ve ever seen a PDR guy use products that were familiar with. I’ve always seen them use 3M and wonder why they don’t switch. What product was he using Matt to wipe off any marks off the paint? Looked like interior cleaner.
When a dents made it stretches the metal and pulling it back flat and effectively reshrinking the metal is stupidly difficult. I did body repair as a teenager at collage and its very difficult.
12500 Meranda Rd Anna Oh 45302 Is the Honda Engine Plant outside where I lived,I was their Orkin Man & got a 6 mile walk there & checked around a 180 station’s The 1st brick there was laid in the early 80’s GREAT VLOG MATT🤓👍🇺🇸
They had a supercharged civic that did a 10 in quarter mile & another that was turbocharged in 2012 time,a very secured area,I got the first one to get in that part.
It's dark because Mike wanted it darker to show the dents easier, especially better for seeing on the camera. Grain will be present when shooting higher ISO to compensate for low light, you also have to realize the RED camera is running a CPL to minimize reflections on the car, a CPL will darken the footage so higher ISO is also needed for that. A lot of stuff goes into this process to make it better. We can remove noise in post but you have to compromise each way for a perfect balance. That's why it's dark and grainy.
The difference between a guy like this and someone you can find on google is IMMENSE. Be careful with PDR - I had a guy close to this level who did all my work on my 135i- one day he wasn’t around and I got impatient with a dent and took it to some guy I found on google with “5 star reviews” he’s good right? He drilled a hole against my request not to and he destroyed the panel by making the area so waved/destroying the clear. The car ended in a body shop anyway and I got rid of it. Since, I exhaustively research a company if I need dent repair in Colorado. I know who to go to when I go back to florida now, but this gentleman isn’t common, they are rare- you have to do your due diligence to sniff out the hacks
You can tell by the way he speaks that he's truly a master at what he does.

Is being jacked a pre-requisite to feature in an OG video?
This guy makes the guy I hired for my PDR look like a Whack-A-Mole game
Hahaha!
Ahaha same here. Mine came out pretty good tho.

We're getting there. Just give us some time and we'll have stuff that will blow your mind.
Agree! Really cool
The dent repairer looks like Ryan Reynolds
Kinda sounds like him too
Damn i was gonna comment this, really sounds and behaves like him too
@@itsmariodude7866 yeah he could be a stunt double lol or maybe his brother
I was just gonna say that.
he is so well-spoken. Truly amazing to watch this masterful artist

How'd you get Ryan Reynolds to do your PDR??
I was about to say the same thing
@@JFKCrackedout hahah first thing came into my mind!
11:57 - 12:08, the mantraI I follow for every car project I do. Matt keep up the awesome work!
It's 3am and I'm watching this.. can't get enough
So cool Matt, this is the kind of content that is so rare on youtube. No bull-s, just a master taking us on a very brief journey through his craft.
Mike is an absolute professional and an artist. What he was able to do to my Tacoma was amazing!
Mind blown! I could watch this guy work all day. 👌🏽 loving this civic series Matt!
PDR guys are in a league of their own in the automotive world. It is truly a work of art with the miracles they preform.
In all honesty, $700 for what he's done is a bargain. Too bad he's so far away from me. Otherwise, I would take all of my cars to him in a heartbeat.
Coming soon to Discovery Channel: The Ding Whisperer.
Always nice to have you bring someone that you can tell has mastered his skill without all the hype! Awesome video.
That speed into the content 👌 😂
Love meeting people who are passionate about there craft! It’s good feeling.
This was a really cool episode. Definitely learned something. It’s cool to see someone who has mastered his trade work.
These guys are true artists I recently just had my Subaru done by a guy out here in California he’s pretty good a lot like Mike, when I told him I detail cars on the side he asked me to show him all the dents that I thought I had and I was off by one !
this guy is a dent savant, hes great
I attempted to learn this in my early 20’s, it literally broke my spirit lol lots of respect for these guys.
Wow, wow, wow. It is like the intro class to a 400 level course. The level of concentration needed is off the charts. Thanks!
Still loving this series. These videos are all so very soothing to watch. Only TH-cam channel I have the bell to get notified of posts set. Keep these coming and I’ll be here watching.
Only found this channel last week. Love the Civic series! Haven’t missed a video, and love how quick they’ve been published.
28:36
I love that Electron Blue mirror. You are doing good work on that car.
I feel like I know nothing about the car world after I started this video. This is insane, the work Mike is doing is next level. Well Done!
these kinds of videos, the obsession and professionalism of them are amazing.thank you matt.
That was really cool!! You can tell the difference immediately. My car is currently being repaired now. I know what to look for upon inspection. Thanks guys
Dude is an artist.
Great watch, good to see some people who are so passionate about their job.
Mike is a very talented guy, car looks great 👍
This PDR guy was unreal to watch in action, truly amazing.
This video is awesome. Tons of great content, and really superb job on the video quality, the angles helped me see what was actually going on with this wizardry or dent repair!! Learned a lot. I actually watched the WHOLE thing!!
All I can say is WOW! Impressive to watch an artist.
Truly enjoy it! Love people that love what they do. Passion!
Great content and professional craftsman at their own trade. Thanks Matt for sharing.
TDC and Presidential did two of my cars. I have two more cars being built and they will go strait to them and Autopaintguard from the factory. They are top notch!
Perspective is everything, especially in this case, it’s a Civic
I like how all the experts Matt is using are right here near me in Tampa. Makes having to find these types of companies easy now.
Quality again top notch, like the close ups and angles lately keep it up Videocrew.
We are working on it.
Omg this guy would be pointing out dents in my car for years lmao & i thought I had a straight body 🤣
Keep the backwards caps going, im going to do PDR on my car, looks real good
When he rubbed the paint with the spray and the towell, did it hurt to watch? Or did you believe the coating would provide enough protection to be negligible.
rubbing the paint is only a problem when done over and over for a long period. doing it once right after a wax isnt gonna hurt a thing
I love when matt gets professionals in.
This is what a professional looks like.
Really good series here on the EM1, Matt. I don't know where you find the time. Appreciate the work.
those spots under the door handle come preinstalled from the factory
It’s a 90’s Honda thing. My DC2 GSR had them as well. The doors in general never looked that great.
What a cool PDR video... and epic Si. Was waiting for Matt to whisper "Friggin Awesome" but it didn't happen. Oh well, next video. BTW, you should embroider that on your hats and t shirts next to O. G, in quotes! 😁
@Matt, were is the new tire dressing ?
PDR Is absolutely an art form (and all the other things he says) and this man is a well-spoken master at it. You had him check your GT3 RS?
He is going to look over it this week when it gets to the shop.
Our boy Matt dabbing on those 30 something Millennials
What kind of audio setup do you have in the garage? I’ve seen a few quick shots of the speaker towers mounted above the workbench, curious to what the setup is!
Kali Digital Blutooth XLR to DynAudio Powered LYD48.
Always fun seeing a master work. Very humbling. First time I’ve ever seen a PDR guy use products that were familiar with. I’ve always seen them use 3M and wonder why they don’t switch. What product was he using Matt to wipe off any marks off the paint? Looked like interior cleaner.
@ObsessedGarage I can’t seem to find the video where Matt Powerlock and 845 the civic?? Was it taken down?
I love this em1
When a dents made it stretches the metal and pulling it back flat and effectively reshrinking the metal is stupidly difficult. I did body repair as a teenager at collage and its very difficult.
Wow the shot at 32:59 is so sick. How are you guys shooting that? Looks crisp
If you was to do this again, Would it make sense to do this after correction, but before coating?
It really should be done before correction.
Dropping crazy money on the civic
What light is he using? 23:29
12500 Meranda Rd Anna Oh 45302
Is the Honda Engine Plant outside where I lived,I was their Orkin Man & got a 6 mile walk there & checked around a 180 station’s
The 1st brick there was laid in the early 80’s
GREAT VLOG MATT🤓👍🇺🇸
They had a supercharged civic that did a 10 in quarter mile & another that was turbocharged in 2012 time,a very secured area,I got the first one to get in that part.
Now time to check the M3
Interested to know if after a pdr can the sun or other temp change reintroduce a repaired dent?
Hoffa no.
Can we get this guy a tighter shirt
Great content as always, is there a timeline of when the giveaway will begin (unless it was posted somewhere and I missed it)?
Probably later this year.
Wow. Theres no way I could put together my last three brain cells to do this level of work.
Its something how he evaluates the panels.
I need this for my civic
“Yeah bro, I do PDR with 50 cal rounds” 😂😂 haha that’s awesome
25:16 This dude is wearing a belt like that. Dang! you are getting scratches everywhere!
25:07 you can see Matt's gears turning
This is OG spec +
the dent whisperer
That was really interesting to watch.
Do you guys take internships/apprenticeships? I would give anything to be able to learn under experts like this.
Time to invest in that boom mic!!
You really
gotta be obsessed for this!
That was surprisingly really interesting
This is awesome!
Waiting for this one
video on this one looking good, got some Red cameras in the mix now I see. Did you get Mike to get the dents out of the raptor as well?
We didn't have time to mess with the Raptor.
@@ObsessedGarage another time another video, the pdr video was more interesting that I thought it would be.
I can only imagine your thoughts, "Holy S*** we have to fix it!" Hahaha
I'm not even going to enter this giveaway. I'm totally not worthy of this level of perfection!!! Good luck to everyone who enters!!!
I'll be terrified if I got a scratch on it or even if a feathered landed on it lmao
In Holland we have “dentday” that’s every last friday of the month. It cost approx 15 euro.
Nog nooit van gehoord. En wat gebeurd er dan?
Rik Heijne een klein deukje van een deur halen ze eruit voor je. www.asngroep.nl/autoschade-service/asn-rotterdam-zuid
Very very interesting!
Nice!
You should’ve done this before correcting and coating the paint
imagine after all this, the winner of the car leans on it. haha
Deadpool is awesome with a hammer!
Why is the video so dark and grainy?
It's dark because Mike wanted it darker to show the dents easier, especially better for seeing on the camera. Grain will be present when shooting higher ISO to compensate for low light, you also have to realize the RED camera is running a CPL to minimize reflections on the car, a CPL will darken the footage so higher ISO is also needed for that. A lot of stuff goes into this process to make it better. We can remove noise in post but you have to compromise each way for a perfect balance.
That's why it's dark and grainy.
It's not $129 for 5 minutes work. It's $129 for all the years it took to become that good and the result you get
The difference between a guy like this and someone you can find on google is IMMENSE. Be careful with PDR - I had a guy close to this level who did all my work on my 135i- one day he wasn’t around and I got impatient with a dent and took it to some guy I found on google with “5 star reviews” he’s good right? He drilled a hole against my request not to and he destroyed the panel by making the area so waved/destroying the clear. The car ended in a body shop anyway and I got rid of it. Since, I exhaustively research a company if I need dent repair in Colorado. I know who to go to when I go back to florida now, but this gentleman isn’t common, they are rare- you have to do your due diligence to sniff out the hacks
better than what they teach at some schools, dont @ me
