Do you struggle finding the centre of a crease dent? Crease dents can be tricky to fix and its often hard to find the centre line of the dent, the deepest part. For this repair I used a combination of glue pulling and pushing from behind and I also share with you my tips for using a line board to identify the centre of the dent. Let me know your thoughts!
Your videos are the best amongst all the PDR channel out there!! Simple and straight to the point . I do PDR at home as a hobby but if I ever goin to start a PDR business , would definitely sign up for your courses!!
Excellent work, I am unable to tell where the dent was. What about vehicles that are much older, like from the 60's, 70's and 80's that might have thicker sheet metal? Do you use different tools? Thanks
Thank you! The process is similar but yes I may change the tools slightly on older cars, as you say the metal is usually thicker so when I am pushing, I may use the same tool but have to work harder, or at least apply more pressure. The other thing to consider with older cars is the paint. I do not usually use glue pulling at all on classic cars, the paint was different then and can be easier to crack or pull away from the panel. Using heat helps with this but the risk is much higher compared to modern water based paints.
Will this technique works on the edge of the quarter panel? I've contacted a PDR specialist, and told me that the area on my car's dent has an obstruction behind the panel, so it is impossible to push the dents from the back.
Difficult to answer without seeing the dent damage or knowing your vehicle but in theory yes, glue pulling can be used when there is no access to the area inside, however, if the damage goes across the edge of a panel, frame or bodyline it is often trickier or not possible to fully remove with PDR. It may be worth getting a couple of other quotes to see if other PDR techs local to you agree
@@LearnPDROnline yeah! I watched your other video titled 'Zero Access Dent Repair | Paintless Dent Removal' (th-cam.com/video/f3wj8u52UtA/w-d-xo.html). I have a similar issue, but my dent starts at the edge near the rear tire and extends about 24 inches in a straight line.
In theory the same result could be achieved with glue pulling from the outside only, however, it would likely take longer to achieve the same result, although if I'm being honest I do not think I would have got it as clean if I were glue pulling only

Hi have a 2012 Range Rover sport which I’ve put a crease in the drivers door is it possible to remove it even though it’s an alloy door
Yes, PDR can also be carried out on Aluminium panels

Hello, how many centimeters are the lines and how many centimeters are they apart?
My lines are 3mm across with 3mm gaps so 0.3cm check out this video to learn more about lines - th-cam.com/video/8hj_iUBq0D0/w-d-xo.html
What if you couldn't reach from behind?
