Paintless Dent Removal Tools

How do they do that?Have you ever wanted to see how PDR Technicians remove a dent without having to repaint the car?


Watch a dent removed before you very eyes! In this video we has a local expert PDR Technician remove a dent out of the fender of a 2006 Mustang at one of our recent show car makeover projects.

The dent removal process starts at the 6:20 Time Mark...


Yancy, our expert video camera man completely captures the dent being removed by Jay as he works his magic.

You'll notice that the light is a pretty important part of the process..

I called to ask about the price for 3 dents on my wife's car, and was shocked at the price. I began watching videos, and seeing as I have a paint and body background, it seemed simple enough.

So I have recently purchased a pdr kit, and I'm still in the process of learning,but I think this is something every detailer should have in their arsenal. The chance to make extra $ in not much time was a no brainer.

I will be offering it in my services come early spring.

Also, great job on the Mustang!

Very important. I like how Yancy was able to capture the reflection of the dent being popped out using the reflection off the "Vision Board".

I've watched these guys do their magic and two key factors come to mind...

1. This works best with new cars as the sheetmetal is thinner so it's able to be worked using PDR tools, not sure how much metal moving a person could do with pre-1970's cars and trucks made with thicker steel body panels.


2. To do this right it would help to learn from someone that has a lot of experience to get you working fast and successful in your PDR business ASAP.

I'm curious as to what price Ken Tuep was quoted.. Recently I had a local guy quote my hood, it has about 10 light dings and he quoted $55.. Seemed reasonable to me... I assume your quote was higher?

[ken tuep]

I was qouted $180, all the dents on different panels. He would also have to drill a hole in the doorjambs, and remove the tail light. I purchased a b&d pulling kit for 5 more than I was quoted.

Yeah, that does seem a touch high... And a heck of a deal on a PDR kit! Did it come with a light?

It would be cool if he could slice just the PDR section out of this video and make it a stand alone video for the topic, either way he did a great job of capturing the process.

I created this thread because another forum member sent me a PM telling me that after watching this video he contacted Jay to remove a dent for him and he says Jay did an excellent job.

I love hearing these kinds of win/win success stories that come from something that happened here on the AGO forum.

I wish I had the tools and skill set for PDR. I'm also a body/paint guy.

IIRC I paid $75 for the first ding and $25 for each other ding, 3 = $125. That's not bad at all considering one quart of 74U BASF Limco Supreme (economical) base coat for my red truck was $150. This doesn't include the clear, catalyst, primer, reducer, sandpaper, tape or my labor. I thought the PDR was a great deal. I've on occasion pressed out dents with my thumb and a shop rag... on occasion!
