If you watch the first part of the live recording you can see how a Pro PDR Guy removes a dent live in just a matter of minutes.

Pretty cool. Thank you Jay for sharing your craft with the Autogeek community?

Last night was my second time at the detailing garage and have to say I am learning a lot from Mike.

Not only is he a great guy(brownie points): he is anal and passionate on polishing which is a good thing.I have been working on cars on and off for half my life and the only thing I did with paint is to try not to scratch it.

I will attend as many Thursday night sessions as possible. I also had a good time learning from Robert and I think I made a new friend.

Yancy is very talented and I did not speak much to Nick. After reading all of his last nights posts I see why. He was glued to the laptop giving a sort of play by play on the different steps that go into the process of polishing a car.

I think a good time was had by most!!!(Mike was not feeling very good,he said.)

Hopefully one day we can do my 57 BELAIR.

Hi Tim,

It was great to have you back last night as you were a big help in getting the job done!


I'll try to get you and your cool 1957 scheduled for a show car makeover as soon as possible...

I watched the replay and wanted to give Yancy some kudos on capturing the dent correction. Nice work!

Nice work guys! I love a red car! and that red is dripping wet looking!

I always used the M21 before discovering Duragloss 501. I might have to dust off the M21 and apply a layer on our red G35.

I agree, Yancy moved the camera in just the right way to capture the surface of the fender and you can literally see the dent disappear right before your eyes...

For anyone that has never seen Paintless Dent Repair or PDR before, it's in the first part of the above video...

M21 is a very nice product. I was still at Meguiar's when it was introduced, it was due to high customer demand for a pro version of NXT
