This customer took his vehicle to a large shopping complex and parked in the multi storey car park. Later when he returned to his vehicle he found this large dent on the front wing/fender. After doing his research online, he found me and I was able to fix this for him, saving him several hundred pounds as the only other alternative was to have this repaired in a bodyshop or go through his insurance.
Watch how I break down the complete repair, from start to finish…

I had to throw everything at this one as it was quite a nasty dent, but the results speak for themselves…Enjoy!
Hi Jake! There's no pdr tech like you. Your skills are at a high-top level. But incredible and amazing is The way you do your videos!! Movie angles, measurement lines, phasis of job.... simply phantastique!
Thanks Paulo, I try my best. I actually have a lot of interests and hobbies and I love graphic design and video editing just as much as PDR so it's nice to combine them together. Have a great day and I really appreciate your comment 👍👍
Paulo, I agree, he does the best formatting on his videos.
His graphics and editing are top notch and what keep me enthusiastic about getting notifications he has dropped a new one.
He is skillshared ;)
That was a horrible looking dent to deal with but you have worked wonders again Jake. What a result!
Hope you are keeping well.👍
Thanks Mark, yes had a good result on this one. All good my end, hope you're well. 👍
Best PDR on the Internet Jake.
Thanks Martin, that's very kind of you to say, although there are some amazing PDR tech's on the internet who I look up to 👍
Hi Jake, you’re a magician!! That has to be one of the most difficult jobs you’ve done, you’re a proper craftsman and it’s a joy to watch, the patience you have is amazing. Keep up the good work
Thanks very much! I have done much worse than this, I just haven't filmed it. Filming these jobs takes so long so I don't film many in the winter as I run out of daylight! Now the summer is here I should be able to film some more complex jobs as I get more time. 👍👍
Incredible - really enjoyed watching this. Thank you.
Thanks, I enjoyed editing this one 👍
FANTASTIC!!
SMASHING JOB!! (Pun intended)
I hope you got you due amount on that one as ANY body shop would have replaced the fender, sorry, wing and then have to blend the door and hood which would have put it well over $1,000 at a quality shop.
Your editing and production skills are right up there with your Dent skills too!
Thanks for sharing, and again GREAT JOB JAKE!
Thanks, yes putting this through a bodyshop would have been a huge job and very costly too. I managed to save the customer a lot of money and hassle on this one 👍👍👍
Hi Jake that's perfection, would love to have seen the customers reaction. 👍
Thanks Bill, he was very pleased, hope you're well. 😉
Amazing work, you’re very clever and never cease to amaze me.
Thank you, it's always nice to receive a positive comment! ☺
As always, a masterful job. It never ceases to amaze me how badly damaged panels can get without the paint cracking.
Thanks, that's probably due to a large plastic bumper slowly moving across the panel with no sharp points on it. It does happen though and this dent did have some paint cracks on some of the edges but it didn't warrant a paint job though. Thanks for watching! 😉
Amazing Jake!!! if there was a god of PDR it would be you.
Ha ha thanks a lot Glenn! Although I'm not sure about that, there are some amazing PDR tech's out there around the world showing us some amazing repairs👍👍
Mate, you are ridiculously skilled. I've watched you do it, and I'm still in disbelief! Have an extremely well earned sub!
Thank you so much! 👍👍
I worked in Car Body industry for 15 years but your skill is next level we just use to sand down use electric puller and fill, you have so much patience. Good job
Thanks, I also used to do it that way for about 10 years in a bodyshop so I know what you mean. I used to get really sore eyes from all the filler dust irritating my eyelids! Now I just get tired eyes from staring at microscopic details doing PDR lol! Thanks for watching 👍
@@1st_track_dents pain still in same location then 😂 for me was more of lower back always in bent positions now I got new trade and back pain is gone for good 🙏 some dents you do I’m like no way you can repair that but you prove me wrong every time 😂
@@DarkAngel-vs3om I know all about lower back pain and neck pain, I live on pain killers which can't be good. Glad the new trade has sorted your back issues 👍👍
One of my favorites channels on UA-cam. You are doing excellent work and you make video fun and jaw dropping. Keep up with such a content.
Thanks Milos, really appreciate your positive comments, have a great day! 😎
Love it Jake, clear and informative video on a complex repair. Great work!
Thanks Tom, I hope you're well mate 👍👍
Fantastic job, thanks for sharing.
Thanks Victor, likewise, thanks for watching 👍
Great Repair with very good time of work Jake 👍
Thank you! Yes, I was pretty tired after finishing this one 👍👍
BRAVO!!!
Amazing work brother !!! Truly skilled at what you do ........
Amazing! That's so good. Super talented. Thank you for showing.
Incredible job. Love the way you break the zones down and then do any over all finish!
Thanks! Yes, I try and break it down to zones and work on each so I don't feel overwhelmed by the whole damage! 👍👍
Top notch as usual, great job!
Thanks 👍👍
That's insane
Thanks Buzz, you watched that quickly! 👍
Amazing transformation. You’re the best! Cheers.
Thanks Jeffrey, always nice to get a positive comment from you. Take care! 👍👍
You’re a true master of the craft
First PDR video that I have seen with the exceptional tip explanation you choose to use each time. Very informative and useful. It will help me in choosing which set of PDR tools to buy.
Thank you very much for your positive comment, I wish you well on your PDR journey 👍
Amazing Work Jake 👍👍
Thank You 👍👍
Absolutely amazing.
Amazing job, your work is at another level.
Thanks Alistair 👍👍
Nice repair again jake 👏
Thanks again!
As always, great work Jake👍
Thanks Ronald 😉
Amazing work as always!!!!!!
Thanks Chris, great to hear from you, hope you are keeping well 👍👍
Jake great repair I’ve learnt so much watching yours and others guys videos thanks for taking the time to put out there. Glad to see the dapper back in use. Keep up the good work 👍
Thanks Adam, yes it's always good to watch several tech's working and gain knowledge then build your own style, Wishing you lots of success! 👍👍
@@1st_track_dents thanks Jake been a tech for 16 years but was only ever taught small dings as was going round car lots. Been on my own 8 years and picked up how to repair bigger stuff from you guys, it’s not as many £££ but much more satisfying.
@@adamhoneybun1166 Blimey you're lucky, even the car lots used to give me big dents lol! Where I work in the UK, big dents don't always make more money, I can always make more money doing 3 or 4 small jobs in a day. I do the big dents just to challenge myself and make videos!
Another amazing video Jake! Never would have thought damage that bad could be PDR'd.
Thanks Sean, initially this was only supposed to be an improvement job for the customer as it was an old car, but I decided to film it as I felt confident that I could achieve much more than an improvement and luckily it came out better than I imagined! I find that if I film it, I'm under more pressure to get it perfect!
Exceptional, as always
Thank you! Cheers!
Hi Jake;;; perfect Job ❗️congratulations also for the edition, each time better;;;
Hey Alex, thanks, hope you are well 👍👍
What a result!! Well done mate 👏👏👏
Thank you! 😉
You are crazy dude in just 5 hours such a mega hard repair! Awesomeee dudee
Thanks 👍👍
Another great video Jake 👍🏻
Thanks Sean! 😉
Another unbelievable repair, well done sir.
Thank you so much 👍👍
Aí eu dou valor, parabéns pelo belo trabalho..
Obrigada!
Jake that was awesome mate I've gained so much knowledge from you I'm practicing these skills and think patience is key thank you for sharing it's much appreciated mate stay well cheers 👍🦘🇦🇺
Damien, push push push push push, practice is key with PDR, and never accept you know everything about it.
I’m a 26 year tech and am still learning.
You are lucky to be learning in a time with so much information out here.
The most important part is LIGHTING! So if you are serious about it invest in a proper PDR light board. Like Jakes!
Good luck and know it is worth the time and frustration it requires!
Thanks Damien for the positive feedback, great to see that you are gaining lots of knowledge. Keep at it , the more you practice, the more you will master the skill. I wish you all the best 👍👍
You are the real art! thank you
Thank you 👍
Fantastic job👏
Thank you 😉
Amazing work
Thank you! 👍
That looked impossible. What a great job Jake. 👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks Rod, yes it certainly was a challenge but I was confident that I could get it out 👍
your work is amazing. I strive for this level every day! I wonder when the light will go on and it will happen. thanks!
Thanks Allen, practice makes perfect, these repairs are not as difficult as they look, if you know what areas to attack first the metal just starts to flow back into shape nicely. I wish you lots of luck! 👍
Awesome job!
Thanks 👍
travail propre, expliqué de manière cohérente,merci.
Merci beaucoup!
You teach well. Your work too excellent.
Thank You 😍
Thanks for the videos 🙏🏽 I think I’m going to get into pdr so I’m watching all the vids I can and saving up for some tools
Thanks for the feedback! I wish you the best of luck! 👍

Thank you very much, I really appreciate your support 👍👍
@@1st_track_dents You deserve much more :)
@@ObsesifAdam 😍
too good to be true. very nice.
Thanks Jonathan 👍
I’m sure every bodyshop would have just replaced the fender and blended the door. Nice repair! With skill, I don’t doubt almost anything can be PDR’d depending on paint damage!!
Thanks Aaron 👍👍
Hi Jake I'm Sanjeev from South Africa, I really and truly inspired by your work.
Hey Sanjeev! Great to hear from you. Thank you for your kind words. I love South Africa, I've been there many times, can't wait to go back one day! 👍
Hi superb video, these days it's clearly easier to get dents out than it was in the 80s, can I ask you where do you get all your dentt pulling kit from thanks
Amazing work!!! I want to learn and have tried on my own cars. The equipment is fairly expensive for a diy type guy. Any suggestions for a starter kit or tools that can do the job?
Oh that’s a good smack bud, looking forward to this one!🤞🤞
Muy bien trabajo.
Saludos amigo
Olá, obrigado! 😉
Cracking repair that, very complex damage with lots of difficult areas 👌👌
Thanks Joe, yes I was very happy with the result on this one, it didn't make me much money but it was very satisfying! Loving the work on your channel, just subscribed! 👍
@@1st_track_dents cheers pal your content is spot on and great for the industry, around that vent looked like a whole world of pain 😂
@@jmpdrpaintlessdentremovalj9959 Around the vent wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, I was either just lucky or Ford had made this particular wing out of some decent metal! 😂
❤❤❤ good job sir
Thank you 👍
Perfect like every time 👍👌
Thank you so much! 👍👍
Guy is amazing 😱
Tissue paper repaired well done
Hard to get that one into my system.
How did you manage to get that wobbly mental back in shape?
Masterpiece @Jake well done.
Thank you
Thanks Steven, somehow the panel was kind to me and didn't buckle out of shape when pushing it, that's why I started with the top and then the bottom to try and put some rigidity back in the panel before attacking the weak floppy middle section at (B) and luckily it helped. Appreciate your support as always 😉
You’re a magician
Top parabéns!!!
Muito obrigado!
You're my the best teacher,oh yeah
I do believe in PDR repair on some dents and being in the auto body trade I did use a PDR tech on an SUV I had with a 3 stage white paint job with the factory finish that made me go the PDR way on a door that had a golf ball size indent repaired, I was pleased with the results and it would have cost more for paint then I was charged for the whole job.I asked the PDR tech how he went about fixing the dent and he explained that he messages the dent out and taped any high areas down and says it isn’t always a 100% result but by pushing the dent out and tapping the highs down to mimic an orange peel effect to take your eye away from what was a dent that would have gone under the knife otherwise,It being a small dent it was a no brained to choose a PDR tech ,I completely understood the reason and his technique.This was before glue tabs and the new techniques that took the PDR trade to another level to be able to remove much larger dents ,even dents on body lines, but when I see PDR tech removing dents on a panel some body/paint techs would replace or repair and see how the PDR tech’s remove most of the dent,I still see the dented area having a large amount of highs and lows ,then by tapping these crowns down and ,or up and a wet sand and buff then it all looks new. I just find it amazing with the panels getting so much thinner and the way metals are shrinking and expanding while repairing it then see the results achieved ,it would seem the time and everything that one would need to do to repair a large dent so a customer would see it as a finished repair is beyond amazing. I guess that is what years of learning these new techniques and the advancement in tools making it possible for a PDR repairs of such a large area possible is almost unbelievable but amazing at the least.
Thanks Percy, yes PDR tech's are taking on much larger challenges now than ever before and the collision glue systems are amazing and cut down a lot of time and clean up too. I used to have to sand and buff my PDR repairs in the beginning to hide some of the small imperfections but after so much repetition It's amazing how you can blend it back in perfectly with no sanding required! Thanks a lot for your comment 👍👍
You are the best
Amazing work my guy, over here in America I've inquired with several places around my home area of South central PA. Most guys won't come to my area, and the one's who do still say they'd fall back on standard body work, as they just aren't that good at doing pdr yet. I have about 4 little dents / bends / stretch area's to be worked out and ive gotten body work quotes of $6 to $800 strictly pdr from 1 guy and the other is almost $1200 estimate with body work and painting. Trouble is nobody is this good over here in my area with per so pricing is extremely high with little to no competition.
Thanks Kevin, that's a real shame that there is no one close by, you can try someone called Christopher Ray from "Dentless Touch" I think he is over your side of the states, if he can't help he may be able to suggest another tech who can. 👍👍
Already liked, now to watch.
Thanks, I hope you enjoy it 👍
Wow! Masterclass work!👍👍👍👍👍🇪🇺🇺🇦🕊️
Thank you for watching! 👍👍
Pure fire mate, we’ll played 🙌
Thanks a lot Ben! 😉

good day, first I want to thank you for such a great theoretical experience, I really want to know how you can order knock down vinyls ?i just can’t find vinyls in link
you are the best
Omfg..... Great work👍🏻
Thanks 👍👍
Amazing repair considering most people would of said that panel needed replacing!
Fantastic job again sir! How long did it take?
Thanks, There was a timer in the video, it was about 4.45 hours 👍👍
Incredibly skilled. 😮
How many days did this take?
Thanks, did it in one day took around 3 to 4 hours 👍
Fantastic repair. Just curious, what is the light you use? I have been learning with a line board, but from watching your videos I can see far better with your light
Thanks! most people have a preference of either fog or lines, I started off years ago using a fluorescent tube light which works almost as a type of fog light, so just stuck with it. I find the lines are hard to read on a dent that is very complex and the fog is a bit easier on the eyes, but that is just my opinion. The light I use is homemade, but there are lots of really good LED fog board suppliers out there. 👍👍
@@1st_track_dents thanks👍

Hello again!
I like that panel edge tool, the one I have is like an angled head set of pliers which contact area is to wide most times.
Do you have a link for those?
I looked up SP tools 065020 (etched on tool) but no luck.
Thanks Jake, the repair is coming along nicely.

That clamp will be a nice straighteners for the larger holes in some braces, especially under Chevy truck hoods.
I made a note in my order that i was referred to them by you.
Thanks again
Hi how can i get the tool on the back wall please tell me thank you
This is wonderful! Quick, possibly silly question, to get the glue back off of the paint did you heat the panel up again? I’ve tried the glue pull method and I always end up spending 20 minutes with goo gone scraping hard glue pieces off the car. Thanks in advance.
get yourself some isopropyl alcohol, a few drops on the glue tab and it will just fall right off! 👍
@@1st_track_dents I will try that thank you!
Your work is very professional, but I would like to ask how much does a repair like this cost?

Great informative video. I’ve picked up a dent in the rear arch of my S-Max, I took off the inner wheel trim to use push bars from inside the wheel arch and discovered the rear wheel arch appears to be double skinned. Just wondered what’s recommended for double skin wheel arches? Would Pull rods be best?
Thanks! Yes, most rear arches are double skinned apart from a few exceptions like some Citroens/Peugeots and BMW Z4 to name a few. You would either have to glue pull the damage out, providing the paint is factory original, otherwise you would have to remove internal trims or the rear light and use longer push rods and hope that there is sufficient access to get cleanly on the dent. Rear arches can be quite tricky to do, front wings generally are much easier due to the access, unless there is a washer bottle bolted underneath obstruction which can be the case sometimes. Good luck and thanks for watching 👍
@@1st_track_dents Great. Thanks for the advice. Much appreciated.
Hi Jake may I ask if you could give an idea of cost for a dent of this size? Also did you need to involve the insurance or direct to the customer?
Hi Caspar, there was no insurance involved in this repair, I always deal directly with the customer. I don't always discuss the price as there are many factors involved and it can get confusing, but it was well below the cost of the customers insurance excess and probably 1/4 of the cost to get this repaired and painted in a bodyshop. 👍
