Every now and again we come across a dent that somebody has tried to fix themselves. Now, this was the case with my customer and his Vauxhall Astra. As you can see he's had a go unfortunately made quite a mess of his panel and as I use my line board to kind of highlight the highs and lows, we can see we've got all sorts of distortion across this panel, there's stretch marks, there's high spots, low spots. Ultimately it's a real mess and I've got to try and figure out how to fix this dent and get the best results I can. I'm gonna talk you through what it is that I did to rectify this damage ..read more

Today, I'm gonna be sharing with you how I started this particular body line dent as you can see it hit it pretty hard and it displaced a lot of the metal and created this big lump, this big high spot below the body line. So I will be sharing with you what I did to get this metal moving. The Damage Okay, so looking at the damage, we've gotta chop here, looks like something's impacted the panel, pushed it down so some of this metal has been pushed into the body line itself and push excess metal below. So looking to try and reverse that in simple terms, we're going to take some of this meta ..read more

So this door dent seriously kicked my butt. I massively underestimated the extent of this damage. By the time I was finished repairing it, my arms hurt, my eyes were sore and I was topping up my own cup of tea with my tears. Okay, so that's a slight exaggeration. However, I did underestimate the extent of this damage and it definitely tested my patience as a PDR technician. So I've taken some of the highlights from the full online tutorial that's available at L. P. O. And I've condensed it down into a shorter 25-minute video for you guys here. I really hope you enjoy the video most of all. I ..read more

Knowing in which tool to select for any particular dent can be quite tricky, particularly when we're just starting off learning PDR. In this video I'm taking a look very standard everyday door dent. But I'm gonna run you through my tool selection and why I choose the tool I do. Now, I've got a few different tools in mind so I've got a choice. I've got this flat, curved bar which is great for getting into this kind of window gap, pushing it back and really getting you to that body line. And it's got a really fine but curved tip that's great for pushing out the line without kind of causing ..read more

Today, I'm going to be removing a crease dent from the rear side panel of a VW Golf. I'm going to repair 90% of the damage with a KECO glue pulling crease tab and robo lifter combination and then finish off the repair from the inside with a hook tool. There's going to be a fair amount of knock down work as well so I'll go through the stages with you. Assessing The Damage The rear quarter panels on most vehicles are fairly boxed in as opposed to a front wing where it's single skinned and you can touch the rears often . The backs have the plastic or felt shield under and they're an internal ..read more

Today, I'm going to give you three different examples of some hard-hit damage where I've used a Keco Glue Pulling K-Bar Kit to help me out. In each example, I'm going to be setting up across the body line and then applying pulling pressure to the body line itself while simultaneously tapping down the crown. That releases the tension from the crown itself feeds the metal into the low and allows that metal to flow. Example 1 First up, this Mazda and it's the passenger side rear door that's been hit pretty hard along the lower body line. It's really pushed the body line in and pushed out ..read more

Today, I am tackling a hard hit BMW 220 bootlid and show you the best method to repair sharp dents. We've got some deep damage, some stretched metal distorted body line with a very defined crown. We've got crease damage, a split dent, so there's a lot to unpack. Step 1: Assessing The Access Points Whenever I'm working on a repair like in the video, I start by taking off the interior panels and just checking what access I've got to work with. Now, thankfully the panel is fairly open. I've taken out the two number plate lamps so that's given me some good access holes to get behind the damage ..read more
