Hope you reply. Watch the first video I found of yours. You worked on several dented and types of debts on a passenger rear door of a silver car. My dent is similar to the smallest dent you fix on that door opposite the door handle on the front passenger door. I always drop my hood closed at a certain height. This time I pushed down on it creating a smooth oval like dent about 1.5 or so. Opposite of the center raised body line. Dent does not make contact with that line. So dent wizard will do the job. At same time may get them to work on extremely hard to see create on a passenger rear door hit by another door. I show the car, I am very particular. So I cover up certain areas of my car where mechanics etc may handle. I will remove interior panels and or other parts if easier then covering them up with tape etc. All this gives me peace of mind other things don't get damaged while work on other issues are getting done. Trust me it has paid off. Taking a car in to get a repair and it coming out with other scuffs, scraps, Mark's etc sucks. What I do usually makes there work easier also. So with this door very mild crease I know the SUPER EASY to mark up all hard plastic interior panel has to come off. Thus do i leave window up or down for dent wizard to work on that door. Because they won't have the interior panel. It will be safe at my home. Vehicle 2017-2020 Chevy Sonic hatchback. Ps: crease is about same location that smallest dent was on the silver car you worked on passenger rear door.

Then mentioned it’s possible that removing the dent could cause the pain to chip. What do you think on a fair young vehicle? To add my dent is the same size as the one shown in the video, except it’s on the door.

Only 4 minutes in, but I think you definitely made the right choice. I’d definitely want to access the dent even if I started with a little glue pull first. A couple of aggressive or misplaced taps on the crown or around the body line and it won’t be as clean without a sharp tip picking at them. Basically to glue pull that dent and finish it, it would take too much time being so careful with every tap. Might as well at least find a way to slide something to it.
@1st_track_dents
4 жыл бұрын
Totally agree, It was quite tight to push up so glue pulling would have really struggled. Glue can be great, but yes it can take so long to do. I've spent an hour before trying to pull a dent with glue making slow progress, only then to find out that I did have access behind after all, then I push it up in about 5 minutes!
sharp cross bodyline first choice as you.you are win.glue pull get risk sometime.

I imagine my story is rather common. New vehicle that gets its first minor dent. Someone mentions PDR as a less expensive method for a resolve so you search the subject. Before you know it your ordering basic PDR tools and excited to scratch that DIY itch. The dent in this videos is exactly what I have to work with other than different make / model of vehicle. Between PDR tools , body panel bought to practice on and hours attending the University of KZitem ... I could have paid to have a professional perform the repair many times over for less out of pocket. I curse that DIY Virus that causes this behavior but thank goodness for videos like this to help the learning process. Your efforts are appreciated....

When I go to get PDR in my locale in the States, they all say "Yeah, we'll try". I'm pretty sure they want just fast turnaround easy jobs instead of 'wasting' time on a thorough job with PDR, and that they get a cut from the body shops they recommend when they "tried but couldn't get the dent out with PDR, so sorry. Call _these_ guys, they can bang it out and match paint, they can turn it around in five days. Oh, we also rent cars incidentally".

@1st_track_dents

Hi, this could be due to a few reasons, maybe there is still glue residue left on the panel or maybe it has had a poor paint job previously and the heat from the glue has damaged the poor paint finish. If the dent just pops back in then, either you need to release the crowns around it or the metal is stretched. 👍
