NEW DOOR? NO! I’ll fix it using PDR

- Check out my other rear door repair I did on this Blue VW Polo: • HOW TO REMOVE A DENT L...
This was a real challenging dent to do as there were several areas of damage on this door, the main impact crease had stretched the metal and caused the frame edge to twist slightly. It was also a challenge to get it finished in time as the sun was setting fast, so some of the last shots were getting a bit dark!
I hope you enjoy it and maybe learn a thing or two from watching it.

Another VW Polo rear door repair. Honestly, I do work on other makes and models too!
1st Track Dents hi mate, are you the north London guy? I wanted to use you in summer and you was injured, still need you to work on something for me! Got a m3 you could probably use in you next video? Give me a shout if you available, cheers
Hi Cripinub1, the best thing would be to e-mail me all the details, including photos/videos of the damage and I will e-mail you back. All the best Jake.
Amazing, where about are you, just in case i need you
@@thefaceman457 Thanks, I'm based in St Albans, Hertfordshire.
How did you learn to do that, was you already a panel beater, can tell from the work you was not chips away. god there crap
You demonstrated a level of panel beating skill that I thought was long dead in this disposable world - shame there are not more professionals with your level of skill and commitment to your craft
Problem isn't lack of skill. I'm a PDR tech myself and I specialize in hail damage. I know many very highly skilled techs. The problem is the insurance companies don't want to pay us what we are worth. They beat us up on price every step of the way. Most severe repairs simply aren't worth our time for what they want to pay. Just my 2 cents.
@@Tyler-kw9ce A job like this I'd tell them I wasnt able to PDR it and it had to be skinned and painted, if you owned the body shop... I guess that'd be insurance fraud lol.
Most of the repairs that I've seen are where they'd just get a new or even good condition secondhand door and repaint it. In Australia, the insurance companies dictate how much they will pay.
@@steverx4460 That's exactly what I did on my Golf. Used door, exact paint colour.
One hell of a crash guy!
10% tools 90% craftsmanship.
9% tools and 1% electricity for that light.
You gave the tool's way to much credit.
more like 100% dark magic
You must have the patience of a saint to fix dents like that.
Peace
A lot of man hours that he doesn't mention. And a boat load of PATIENCE ! You have to be a certain type of person for this type of work.
@@johnaverick7468 OTH, no junked door, no paint, no new door. This method should get tax breaks for being eco-friendly. Plus it's a job Creator not job destroyer.
John Averick you don’t have to be a certain type of person for any work, you just decide it’s what you want to do and you put in the time necessary to learn it, no secrets, no magic, no genetic predisposition needed, just the requisite time put into learning and practice, it’s not brain surgery.
He is one of the best
As an ex panel beater I can tell you that was an amazing repair without stretching the panel.Well done Sir.
Wow, that's incredible! I never would have thought that those results were possible. This guy is a magician!
no just a well trained panel beater . like me he was probably trained by an old school panel beater paint sprayer . god i miss my old dolly lol
a dolly is a steel block with different angled edges . different dollies for different situations .
Jim Wheeler 😂
@John Jakobsen before the invention of cheap panels we where all capable of doing this work . back in the 70s and 80s we had no choice . that is why we are called paint sprayers panel beaters . rolls royce cars used to have lead as filler . cheap spares have taken the art out of the game .
look up the term "ketok magic" its actaully the term used in Indonesia when a person can bring a panel back to its original form :)
Attention to detail, skill & patience - your repair is beyond the requested 'improvement' - it's spot on!
Thanks for sharing. My young son dented a door on my beloved old Saab the other day and what I learnt watching a couple of your videos let me fix it near to perfectly, using improvised tools, so that no one had to feel so bad. Thanks.
What kind of improvised tools did you use? I'm thinking about making my own tools as well.
@@rycallter3372 I turned domes onto some nylon round stock
Amazing! I’ve straightened some pretty rough panels, and gotten to the point of just needing a 1mm skim of filler, but never retained the original paint. You sir have a gift!
Filler really ??? .001 of your scale maybe closer to the facts.
@@Fuckhats I don’t understand what you mean
I was going to comment - but I see that all the superlatives have already been used up. There's nothing left I can use to express my admiration.
This happens ... when you love the work u do....
Excellent results...
Sir...nice jobwork ...really impressive...
It just me or did we want to see the owner's reaction to the repair.
Is only u we dont care 😊😊😊
TheRitmosalsa
You can’t speak for everyone. I’d care to see an owners reaction as well.
@@bobsmithinson2050 😅😅😅😅 was just kidding. It looks good like good u know what i mean😅😅😅😅
Incredible repair. I think the one thing many people overlook between repair with PDR vs new panel is that even though you're reworking a panel and may not be able to get it to 100%, how it looks visually may be substantially better than a new panel that has to be colour matched, blended, aligned etc. You've managed to save a part and bring it in-line with the condition of the rest of the car, which is the biggest win, in my books.
Thank you very much for your comment. I couldn't agree more, it's always worth saving a panel if you can. 👍
level of skill is nothing short of top tier. just wrecked but the intense music tracks
Wow you must be really annoyed at a LOT of UA-cam videos if you take the music so personal. personally, i just roll with it and get on with my life. You should try it once.
I agree, It's not required. Yanimizzzzzzzzze has a lot to answer for. Idiot.
@@mybluebelly nope not at all. however the music at times overwhelms what he has to say. good day.
mybluebelly You gotta roll with it, ya gotta take yer time, you gotta say what you say, don’t let anybody get in your waaaaaay...
I admire your patience.
Considering the complex damage of that rear door you did a cracking job repairing it.. well done matey
Many thanks Stewart 👍
Unbelievable!
Extreme Craftsmanship,.
An artistic trade, displaying great patience and detail.
Outstanding!
That’s incredible! Thanks for the skilled demonstration. Something tells me you make this look far easier than it is.
Bravo! I love to see things saved and restored instead of just tossed on the dump - too much of that these days!
I have restored cars, boats, motorbike and aircraft, so I salute your old-school skills, patience and a good eye!
This is probably the most satisfying dent repair video I've ever watched! BRAVO!
NOT SURE HOW I GOT HERE,BUT VERY GLAD I DID.
I'VE NEVER SEEN OR EVEN HEARD OF YOU OR YOUR CHANNEL.
I'VE GOT TO SAY THAT YOU ARE A VERY TALENTED ARTISAN -A TRUE CREDIT TO YOUR TRADE!
I WISH THERE WERE MORE HALF AS GOOD AS YOU APPEAR!!
EXCELLENT JOB,WELL DONE!
Sir you are blessed with good hands and wonderful skill. It's great to see you back on UA-cam 👍😎😉🇬🇧
57 people gave this a thumbs down, what's wrong with them. This is incredible work.
Doesn't matter what the video is it's gonna get a thumbs down. It could be a puppy rescuing a baby from an angel hug.
I think it's 57 people wanting to sell him a door! lol!
First time I've watched panel work being done. An amazing example of professional skill and commitment to your customers.
I am a farmer fix anything guy and a carpenter. This is the most amazing display of craftmanship. I bow to your abilities.
I've seen this guy before, he has got to be one of the top PER professionals.AMAZING work.
This guy is a legend. Love watching these videos.
Fantastic! Had the same dent (a bit worse, up near the handle). Ridiculous dealer and local shop prices to repair or replace (now I see why). Now 5yrs later, just scored a door from junkyard. You sir are patient and amazing at your skill.
I love the sound when it’s sped up, like a woodpecker lol, great job, must be very satisfying
Wow! Determination and skill went a long way. I would have liked to see the face on your customer at the finished product.
Amazing - didn't think this level of damage could be repaired that way.
I’m amazed you could be so effective along the crease line. Really impressed. You are an artisan.
So I had a Dunning-Kruger moment watching this. As he started hammering the dent initially, I thought "Hey, that doesn't look so hard!" Then he started talking about metal stress and metal stretching and balancing forces, then he started pulling out tools I've never seen to hammer dents from angles that didn't look possible. "Oh, right!" I realised. "It only looked simple because I had no knowledge or experience in the matter." That's quite amazing work! :)
Been a body man 40 years. I'd have had to skin that door.
Though it's never perfect, What you fellows do is amazing.
Absolutely amazing. This understanding of how metal moves is either in you or it’s not (I fit this side). I kinda see it but will not fool myself into believing I could do something like this. You are an expert in my book. That was just amazing to see you “coach” the metal back where it once was. Very very good work sir. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
You Sir, are a rarity and an asset to the body shop world. Your patience and perseverance is inspiring!
Nice work.
I had a door ding in one of my doors on my 3 week old new car. The dealer wanted to pull it out then bondo and repaint the door for almost $1000 USD. They were nice enough to give me the number of the Ding Doctor.
DD cam to my house, used a light and heat gun like you. He then got a little hammer head on a long shaft through an access plug on the door. 20 minutes and $100 it looked perfect.
This is a great talent.
Amazing, never thought it would end up looking so good.
sometimes when i watch these PDR videos i wonder if playback is in reverse
Unbelievable job, here in Mexico is very hard to find someone that would do this kind of work. Great job I got a quart inch dent on my door panel and every shop wants to use paste and repaint I think that could be worse than leaving it as it is.
A craftsman at work. This gentleman deserves much respect. Very well done sir. Thankyou for posting. If that was my car, I'd be absolutely thrilled with this gentleman's work, and great communication skills too.
Great skill and patience! I used your tips on my old classic mini and some friend’s cars and really helped a lot. Thank you.
That's really great to hear, glad I could help:-)
Haven't read through all the comments but fail to see why anyone would put a thumps down your workmanship is outstanding and the videos are very well edited, well done mate look forward to the next one
Thanks John!
As a former panel beater, there's nothing like a skilled craftsman showing his skills!
Much admiration for any man that masters his trade to this level.
Nice video, nice info, nice music, tools listed... 10/10!
Excellent craftsmanship my man. Would be interesting to see the owners faces when they first see what a fantastic job you've done :-) Excellent work!!!
Incredible work! I have had a dent fixed this way before and it gave me the biggest respect for this kind of work!
YT recommendations come through once again. I was hypnotized by your art! Amazing.
Well done! Thank you for giving us your insights.
Now that’s a true craftsman!
This is just plain awesome. This guy is turly feeling the metal he's working. These skills cannot be taught it's just something I believe you either have the instinctive talent for or a person just can't and won't ever get these kind of skills to do a paintless repair like this. Extra-Super props to this man!
You sir are a master of your craft and an inspiration to us all. Absolutely amazing!
I wouldn't have believed that repair was possible! Absolutely remarkable. In real time, how many hours of your time went into this repair? Might I enquire as to the cost of this job.
A fascinating tutorial, thank you.
it took me around 4 to 5 hours and was very cheap considering how much a bodyshop would charge:-)
Hi, what sort of cost for this repair? Do you charge time or per job? what happens if the paint chips? Excellent work btw! :) Magic
I would also like to know how the cost of your time compares to the price of a new door.
And I imagine most garages would not do a good a job as you have done here!
this is the first time in my life seeing this kind of fix. it's amazing work!
This chap's an Artist. Passionate about the job he's doing; and totally knows what he's doing!
That’s magic
Amazing work my friend!
Sir you are 10% technician and 90% skilled craftsman and Sculptor. You have this down to a fine art. Really enjoyed the video.
Amazing repair! What you do is just short of magic, so much skill!!! Thanks for sharing w us!
I wish i could find a guy like that in Los angeles, California... wow amazing job.
I am sure there are few of them with similar skills in a metro area like that.....
And in Barcelona !!!
Jake ! You really are one of the best in the business you should definitely do an online school you would do so well with that
Thanks! Yes, I get a lot of people asking me all the time. Let's wait and see 😉
@@1st_track_dents one thing I really do wish people would actually start showing is what's going on behind the dent how the tool is working.
Like a split camera view or something would be kind of cool
@@1st_track_dents if you start a school you would have students from all over the world think how powerful that is
@@DentZero123 Yes, trying to get those camera angles when i'm out on the road is difficult as you need a lot of light behind the panel as it is very dark, I plan to film some repairs in my workshop when I have finished doing it up, then I will be able to show stuff like that as I can control the environment better. 👍
Jake actually have a question although I've never done this myself but I was just curious can someone work on a panel at night time.
I find it much more cooler at night
WOW!!! Unbelievable results! A TRUE ARTIST!
Love that Land Rover Behind!!
Bravo, c’est de l’art !
Amazing! Very nice
He is actually Magneto all that tapping is for UA-cam
Why would you dislike this vid? Guy did a first class job, well done son 👍🏼
It’s really impressive to see such level of craftsmanship. The cost of a new door with paint and all costs a lot but this work which you have done is so rare. I wonder that most of the panel beaters don’t even put so much effort. They would simply suggest to install new door and pay huge amounts of money.
Skill and perseverance....admirable qualities.
this Dante master have UNDO buttons in his hands😍👍👍👍
An incredible level of craftsmanship, it's a pleasure to watch.
Fu....g amazing!!! This is the first dent removal video I've watched and I'm stunned at how a little bit of time and a whole lot of knowledge go in to dent repair. The crease on the door and the leading edge of the door I was convinced were going to show signs of an attempted repair. I'm gobsmacked. I used to work for a body shop many years ago and the first thing I would have told the customer is you need bodywork and the side of the car painting.
Show the customers reaction : ) I Can only see smiles : )
It shows that there is nothing impossible in this world, all can be fixed for guys with your actitude.
It takes an artist to do this work. It's beyond a skill, it's an art. Well done!
Impressive, you are an artist. It was almost like you relieved the stress and the panel moved back to its original shape. Would never would believe you could remove that crease. Very cool.
„Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.“
Arthur C. Clarke
Yeah, that is actually pretty incredible. It never ceases to amaze me, the skill of people in Britain.
This is when a person has both percision, finess, patience, and a keen eye
Fantastic work mate
Just fantastic. Seeing those dents get knocked smooth was really satisfying. Well done!
Wow some of your best work yet buddy really really amazing what you are able to do. I've really been interested in trying to get into this line of work I have general mechanic and body repair training. Would you make a video of how to get into this line of work and what the general tools you would need to get started. And maybe a little advice to someone just starting out? And again great video amazing job as usual!
Hi Aaron, thanks for watching, yes I am looking to do a lot more videos next year, I have a list of things I want to cover, so I will add your suggestions to the list!
Hey Aaron, if you're trying to get into this line of work a great UA-cam channel that gets technical with tools and techniques is Dent Time - San Diego Dent and Bumper Repair. Myke is a great teacher
Looks Like back to.. The-All-New..
Very cool to see a Master at work. That level of knowledge about metal work is definitely rare.
Master Craftsman at work & a champion for those on tight budgets , well done and thanks for a great video !
So many separate collisions on one door. Time to make changes on parking selections etc.
Welcome to public car parks
Fantastic work! You truly an artist with PDR. Gave you a like - altho the music was horribly torturous
A true artist!! Definitely a well experienced talent. Congrats.
After having a dented front n/s mondeo wing for a couple of years [not my doing] i got a local pdr man in on the job,.£65 job done,..you guys are miracle workers,..thanks,.
Amazing skills, bravo!
A master of your craft Sir! Hats off to you, keep up the amazing videos of YOUR work.
That's the nuts! I never knew these repair techniques were so effective. That's awesome.
Take your tools and get down to Westminster M8 😂
There are a few dents that could need some gentle hits on the head....
Good job btw. 👍
This guy could spend a month at my house. teenage drivers, and my wifes driving oops.
Lol 😂😂
High level of skill and experience = excellent result! Plus interesting to watch! And this is for sure a lot more environment-friendly than buying a new door.
Maintain, care, repair - I support my local workshop wherever possible. Don't wegschmeissen.
Absolutely amazing skill. You are a sculptor and a magician, rolled into one fine tradesman.
Dude, these repairs look so good, it's like they are done in reverse. You find a perfect car then you damage it deliberately and show that at the start haha. Nah, I believe it's real - haha.
🤣
In the past life this guy was a woodpecker 😂
😅😅😅😅yeaaaa
I have been thinking for a while about a new career in PDR, I have now decided that it is for me, I will look for training in the new year, incredible level of skill on demonstration here. 👏
First look at all the comments here stating that there is no money or future in this trade--I would advise against it. Learn it as a hobby but don't go all-in on this.
Holy sht. Now only if someone had vids about repairing poly bumpers with the SKILL LEVEL that you have!!
