AMAZING WORK! This is just a public service announcement. Don't go with the low quote on PDR!! I went with the low quote, had pretty good Google reviews and 30 years experience but still FUBAR'd my door panel. Was just two dents, did cross the seam so not exactly basic, but got 3 quotes and nobody said it was an impossible job. Anyhow, he cracked paint and the area literally looks like a golf-ball. To fix it, has to go conventional body/paint now. And the joker who did the work is refusing to acknowledge any responsibility. Be careful who you choose for your work!

Couldn’t agree anymore. Furthermore.. Well, you see, there is a common misunderstanding when it comes to the art of paintless dent repair. Some people view it as a simple transaction, akin to purchasing a carton of milk from the store. However, this is a misguided perspective. PDR technicians possess a diverse range of talents and expertise, not unlike a plastic surgeon. When seeking the services of such a specialist, it is not wise to prioritize cost over quality. Instead, one should seek out the very best in the field, just as they would with any other professional service.

I’m self teaching myself with videos and when my dad brings me to the junkyard I bang out dents and practice my skills, I have been using a socket extension with a rubber end that fits into the female part, I’m not nearly this good, but I’m getting better every time we go to the yard!

My compliments to you Mike. I enjoy watching your videos. Your very clear in explaining and humble.

I could watch these all day. I had not even heard of PDR before last week. Turns out that we have a highly regarded PDR shop in the area. My car went in today so that two dents that have been irritating me for 4 years can be fixed. This really is magic. Thanks for the videos explaining the process!

22 yr tech here, love the vids learn something everytime. Tool reviews rock!

Great job Myke, thanks for posting

I’m getting into PDR. Never heard of it in my life till I started as a detailer at a collision shop. I’ve see our PDR guy’s paychecks. Aside from the pay, I like this kind of work. Very excited about the future.

A year later, did you pursue? How's it going?

THANK YOU MYKE! This is definitely a technique combined with an art form. Patience is obviously a major factor cause you can always do a little more as you cant remove your mistakes as easily once made. Its an almost lost art as good paintless dent repair guys are very hard to find. Hopefully more people including insurance companies utilize this field whenever possible in order to grow the field. You are an excellent teacher! I only wish you would have shown us how to properly use the heat since you mentioned it. People need to stress how important is is to salvage the original paint whenever possible for many reasons! Thank god for people like you posting these videos! You demonstrate true professionalism Myke! May God bless you well! Do you ever use dry ice? Or is that an over rated myth? I have seen old school bodymen use it on larger bare metal jobs combined with heat but not on paint, Thank you!!!

Really good videography, as a beginner DIY PDR, really enjoyed this video thanks so much!

Hat off to you guys for explaining the paintless dent repair. Dent Trainers are1#. 👍

I was doubting at first when he started tapping from the outside, but that's why I'm watching these videos, because he knows what he's doing and I'm trying to learn.

Thanks Myke as always Great Work !! Be well !

I’m very new to this process, so it’s wild to me that you were able to make such a difference with starting out tapping down the outside of the dent. Seems so counterintuitive. Really cool process and great info!! You’re an artist!

Thanks for sharing your skills, Much appreciated from Lismore NSW Australia

BIG skill set shown here. You’re not going to learn this in an afternoon! Kudos

You are a magician. Here in Germany, the average garage never does that kind of damages on edges like this. They want to change the whole part or at least want to use putty and paint.

This guy is the freakin best!

I can finally see what we are talking about , with the reflection of the light , it looks like it has a design in the center of the dent , 08 .. As he taps , you can see that image shrinking. pretty impressive to manipulate metal like that.

Betapa senangnya dulu mengerjakan ini, tapi sekarang mulai ditinggalkan. Pekerjaan di Indonesia tidak ada lagi. padahal dulu merasa sangat spesial hanya beberapa yang bisa melakukannya

This is some of the most fascinating and satisfying work I've ever seen on youtube

I just discovered these videos. I find this process fascinating. I am 57 now and retired but getting bored fast and looking at a new field to get into. Would you recommend this as a second career for someone my age? Of course I want to be my own boss eventually. Would you set up a brick and mortar or start a mobile service. I was looking at doing a mobile service focusing on a repairs like this. Small and "quick". I say quick because I was thinking this was about 3 hours max.

Well done 👍 That light is worth its weight in gold, being able to see such subtle detail. Very cool and skillful work. Do you find the newer vehicles more difficult to work with or do they have more forgiving materials? ✌🏼🍻

Thanks for the question. Depends. Todays cars are like beer cans. Very flimsy. However newer vehicles are going aluminum and that is twice as difficult. Older vehicles are like tanks but metal is much easier to shape with less chance of oil canning.

Good vid! I'm not sold on fancy expensive tools; as I've had nice tools made locally to my specs which are invaluable to my work, and at a fraction of the cost. Saying that, I do appreciate learning about new tools and good technique!

Excellent job

Hello good time Thank you for your good training I wanted to ask what is the brand name of your bars?

La reflexión no es demasiado importante. Me gustan mucho las dos luces de la compañía. En este momento obtendría una luz de Elimadenttools.com. Tienes opciones sobre qué tan cerca o qué tan lejos está tu lente. Mover el tablero a menudo es lo que es importante también.

Wow a real artist my friend. Could use your help with my Harley gas tank.

What camera are you using? The quality is beautiful

Good job sir With tutorial

Whoever put that dent in there you brave and savage sob

This is therapy to watch

That's great👏👏

What type of tool are you using to hit the tap down?

I realize it would be quite a hassle but it would be awesome to have a camera underneath showing the whale tale and a split screen showing on top. Front and back views. Awesome video thank you for the lesson. 👍🏻

No heat necessary on this dent. Now if it were aluminum.. well different story. Thanks for watching. 👍

I'm doing some repairs on my girlfriend's dad's car and it has a dent on the rear wheel arch about the size of a fist going over the body line, I got most of it out but damn its hard to get good, its quite addictive though and now I find myself wanting to buy better PDR tools lol.. I think what i struggle most with is knowing how hard to knock down on the high spots like i don't want to cause a bigger problem.

Very cool I’m bringing my car in for some PDR this weekend when do you add heat? Wow would give a thumbs down Also I have fine line dents from a kayak that had rubbed along the side are those faint lines in body panel hard to get out? Thanks

Do you guys have any shops in LA.

If when I'm tapping the tool bounces off the panel, what does that mean?

I need to add this to my services
