- In this video I try out some paintless dent removal tools.
Available here.
www.amazon.com/s?k=VTOLO&ref=...
These tools did the job pretty good. I think with more experience I could get better results. The cost of having these dents pushed out was much cheaper than the price of materials and labour to repair and respray the panels myself.
Thanks for watching check out my website

Cool insight! Never even thought of fixing the dents in my car, will give it a try after this! Thanks mate
After suffering hail damage recently, I've been watching PDR vids. Couple things I noted:
1. You should squeeze and release the handle of the DIY puller tool several times, pumping it before doing the final squeeze that pulls the plug off the glue. This works the metal before yanking it hard.
2. Alcohol is best used for removing the glue. Paint thinner sounds very dangerous and unnecessarily harsh.
Our RACQ guy thumped the panel at a certain place with his fist, away from the ding (a big one). It popped out immediately and you couldn't see where it was. Some cutting paste had the paint fixed and my son didn't have to pay the quoted $1400 panel beater repair.
Going to pull off in 5 minutes, wish me luck. Thanks for the tip.
Great vid👍🏻
Really sharp small dents like hail are the hardest to remove because they stretch the panel
Watching u work gave me a lot of confidence. I watched a lot of pros do it but for some reason ur vid is awesome
Persistence,patients and practice will make you alot better. Just buy an old door or guard from the scrap yard and learn on that
Watching the professional work I was very impressed with what he does. But the tools you used was also impressive I’ll definitely be giving this a go
I think i saw your video when you painted brake calipers. That was a good video. And this one was better. Earned a sub
This was GREAT, answered several questions I had. keep up the great work!
Nice work Dave!
22 year pdr guy here and I give you 2 enthusiastic thumbs up!
Good
Could I message you on social or personal number? I’d like to have some help with all due respect. I need your expertise
No worries! You did a great job!! Im some one watching you from Baghdad-Iraq!!
Should have no problem finding a dented car there!!

What you mean mr. Joe??
@@hashimhadi9256 , i've been watching too much american TV, i probably have more dents on my car in canada than the average car in baghdad. i am curious what do cars cost there? for instance a toyota camry ,or ford transit van long wheelbase passenger model , ( under stand those are MFG in turkey) both brand new and a 3-4 year old in nice condition.
This was very informative. Thanks for putting it up.
No it wasn't don't specify if it works on deeper/bigger dents, what type glue is needed, or if the siding on his car or plastic, fiberglass, metal or something else...
Informative video for the general public 👍🏻
This is exactly the same puller as available in UK, it won't remove those long sharp dents or serious dent damage like some photos on the purchase page show you, BUT for small door / wing / quarter dents etc it works ! I'm no expert and just followed a few of these tutorials ( of which there a many ) and I removed a nasty rear door dent caused by a careless door opener in a car park, took three or four pulls, bit of light tapping down a couple of high spots and it was out ! ..... great little tool for novices and smallish dents.
I'm curious how nasty your dent was? As I have a nasty dent on my rear car door as well. It's not necessarily big however it's not like these circular dents I see a lot these videos do. Just wondering if I'd have any luck with one of these tools or it'd be a lost cause.
Don't use paint thinner. It's called that for a reason it will literally eat through your clear coat and destroy your paint. Use alcohol to remove the glue.
No it won’t 😂
@@officialWWM yes it will... I've used to to remove paint plenty of times on car parts. Hence the name paint thinner.
@@bltsandwich567 er, I’m a car painter. I have been for over 20 years. I assure you, paint thinner will not even touch modern 2k automotive paint! Once it is cured, it’s virtually impervious to chemicals. That’s kinda the point of it!
@@officialWWM if you believe that I question your experience as a painter. Any decent painter will tell you the basic fact paint thinner will eat through the any wax, sealants, clear coat and base coat on the car. The fact you just claimed modern paint is impervious to chemicals is even worse. So you believe modern paint can hold up to brake cleaner as well?
@@bltsandwich567 I said “virtually”! Twenty years ago, when car makers were transitioning from acrylic paints to 2 pack, one of the tests to see what you were working with on a vehicle was to put a rag soaked in thinners on the paintwork. If it was acrylic, the paint would instantly go soft and sticky, if it’s 2k, it won’t even touch it. Suggesting someone wiping down a panel with thinners is somehow going to damage the clear coat is just wrong. It will remove and wax or polish but it won’t harm the clear!
Nice job dude I'm getting me one
I bought a kit like thins one and I love it. Within just a few hours worth of work I pulled and beat out pretty much every ding my car had in it. The kit I bought came with chisel like "dollies" and I found that most of the dings would come out easily just by beating on the edges with the dollies. I actually surprised myself at how good I was able to get the dents out. I did learn one thing: don't try to use the glue on a black car in the sunshine on a 90 degree day. LOL! The glue never cooled down enough and would pull right off. I paid $99 for the kit on Amazon and literally saved hundreds if I took it to a body shop with just a few hours worth of work. If people knew how easy it was body shops would probably start losing money.
Which kit on Amazon did you buy?
what kit did u buy?
@@DanielC00100 I can't remember the exact one, but it cost around $99 I believe.
no issues with chipping paint? thats my only worry, i just got my amazon puller kit but now that the pro in this video just pushed them out, im having second thoughts
Isopropyl alcohol removes the hot glue...no no no paint thinner!!!
Those guys are very clever!
'The person who had it before me washed it with a brick'... hahaha. Nice one!
What type of glue? Just got glue or would you recommend something else?
Nice work
I love that subaru ts. 😍😍😍 we don’t have that model in America. the reason I’m on this video is because my 2016 Subaru wrx has a ton of hail dents 😱
Good information. Thank you
Isopropyl alcohol works fine for glue removal, especially if you get it just along edge, as your lifting it.
Not bad with the eBay puller. My Wife shot me a look, when I saw the pro pop the dent back out “sick!”
Thank you for an informative video, I have a "supermarket" rub alongside my offside door panel, will see what I can do! Subbed by the way!
great work
Nice ride!
I haven’t done any pdr but when removing hot glue I use isopropyl alcohol , after a bit of a soak it breaks the bond and the glue will just peel off
Thanks!
@King Brilliant Heatgun or hair dryer.

Weak paint thinner shouldn't damage the paint but yeah I use alcohol.
The instructions that come with these kits tell you to use 91% alcohol lol.
This is been 3 years ago I never thought this worked. But I'll give it shot. I don't lose nothing with trying
Did it work?
@@StallionFernando no I didn't tried jet cause is winter and I don't got a garage but I will try it soon. I was looking for the best deal with the whole kit
Tip; DON'T use wax and grease remover over the dent area after washing. The glue will still be more than strong enough to stick to the area but will be fully removable with just one pry using the pry tool.
Which on line website?! You did not say dummy! Name of the kit ??
Try using isopropyl alcohol to remove the glue, it works well
Or gasoline
It damages the clear coat so no
@@TeoYankov1234 Only in high concentration
Where did he get this specific kit? I see similar ones on Amazon.
You don't have to use paint thinner, rubbing alcohol it'll take the glue right off
Looked to me that maybe you choose a size plunger that was slightly too large(?)
Is the glue supposed to snap off like that when pulling out the dent !?
Would this work better with pouring boiling hot water over dent first?
Tiniest dent ever, I wouldn't even worry about it, will this work on bigger dents?
Amazing 😉
You shouldn't use paint thinner you would you should have used as alcohol in higher percentage
Trieuable was
Alcohol damages the clear coat
@@TeoYankov1234 it dosent. I'm a profesional auto Detailer, and we use this stuff before we apply coatings. And it's in the slip soloution we use to apply ppf.
Brian Naeem I did that on my car the clear coat got bad
@@TeoYankov1234 what concentration did u use? It shouldn't be more than 50
is a hot glue gun necessary? or are there any alternatives i don’t have a garage and where i park is away from a power source
I have a small door dent less than 15mm diameter, right in the center of mine it looks like its scraped the lacquer and I can feel like a little bump, not sure how that can be sorted, dont want a full door respray over it.
Isopropyl vs denatured alcohol? Denatured is more readily available in pure form vs Isopropyl which is more likely to be 70%. Is denatured bad or not work at all?
Good tools
Muito bom
Hi, would be very informative if you can advise what type of tools and names and what type of glue you used.
i have the same tool, but the dent dont remove, itls like yours.
You can use few drops of Isopropyl alcohol on hot glue. Glue will come out easily.
Using a heat gun or hair dryer will remove glue. Good job.
Can I use alcohol instead of paint thinner?
use more touch up paint, blend with thinner if necessary, let it cure, then wet sand. it should be invisible afterwords.
dont be afraid to cake that shit on there. you want to sand it down even.
i fix paint imperfections and drip marks all the time. you want to be comfortable doing it. practice on scrap metal if you want.
How much did the professional cost?
Hi is it ok to use a normal hot glue gun and glue? Is does the PDR process require some special hot glue?
Hot glue can melt paint/clear coat
@@davidzplace2011 No it won't.
We use all types of glues for certain situations. We have glues formulated to work in all different temperatures. The regular Walmart glue will work fine for some people.
I've tried to use this exact tool to remove countless dents, and it doesn't work.. maybe there's different grades of hot glue?? But even on very light gage tin sheet metal this "glue tab puller" system doesnt work
where you bought extra glue?
The glue stick. Can anyone advise which is better to use?
Do not use paint thinner for this. Paint thinner is safe with certain rags. Alot of micro rags have dye in them and it can be runny and stain your car paint and be hard to get out. Use alcohol.
Paint thinner?
In the near future not too long to wait is memory metal, i would say it could be here within the next 10 years or so...maybe even 5, simply crash, use heat and the metal will straighten back to its original new form, no more dents but I'd say they'll have it in the top range of vehicles such as small sports cars like a Ferrari or a Lamborghini, maybe military get it first before its used for domestic purposes.🤔
How much did it cost for the professional to come out and fix the dent/s?
I was wondering that as well.
How much you pay for dent removal?
We're can I bay one thank you 😊
So I am using this technique to remove the dents and it worked well for the dents. But now my area is scuffed up and you can see the trace of the round tab pattern in the paint, basically removed or dented the clear coat. I'm working in a garage thats about 15C-20C so the paint isn't hot or anything and I don't use anything to warm it up. I'm using the yellow glue, never the black. What am I doing wrong? My theory is that the car was repainted (I can tell) and the clear coat they used was crap (soft..scratches easy).
You need to heat up the dent area with a heat gun. This will make it easier to pull the dent out because the metal molecules have expanded. Its almost like heating a plastic container when it's cold it's hard to bent but when it's hot or warm it will easily warp or fold with your hands.as for the scuffing you could try a bit of polish after you are done
I did some research yesterday, it said use yellow glue when outside temperature is 30 C. I think black glue is better suited to 20 C. You can use compound to remove paint scoffs it is a little harsher than polish, then polish afterwards.
A lot of the anti scratch stuff are simply compounds, some a mixed with polish.
How is it paintless when you used paint ?
Is that regular hot glue gun glue?
Seems a heat gunboats hair dryer to soften glue would allow it to pull off
Everyone relax, paint thinner will not go through clear coat. You should be a hell of a lot more concerned about the glue.
Except you dont know how thin the clearcoat is. Thinners is for thinning paint. Its not for cleaning paint. Use wax and grease remover.
Paint thinner is literally designed to remove paint, including clear coat.
@@YeetxBoi It won't remove factory clear coat. If it's repainted then yes.
Is it possible to pull paint off? I have a dent where the paint cracked and wondering if the glue will pull my paint off
If it's cracked there is a good chance the paint may come off.
@@customspraymods ahhh kinda thought so, bought a kit from Amazon but I think I’ll leave it to a professional. Thanks for the reply
nice foz!
Yeah use prepsol (wax and grease remover) instead of thinners. Thinners dissolves paint.
No it does not. I have video proof that it does not.
So, Uh, Yeah!
I got one a cheap Chinese knock up didn't come with glue. I think it will just gather dust
Go to the two dollar store and buy a hot glue gun ...
Paint thinner?! Idk
What if next time you have a small dent like that? You should try putting a small dab of glue smaller than the dent. So when you are pulling it's only pulling the dead center of the dent. Instead of the whole surface of the Tab
Doesnt work like that, you still need to tap with a plastic hammer the affected areas. You will always pull more metal than needed. Needs to be tapped after
@@Ciolanso you pull out and stretch the whole area, and then hammer it flat ?
Obviously he never reviewed any of the other excellent UA-cam videos on how to easily and properly remove the cold glue.
Better than calling a mobile dent service, who will charge 125 dollars for a ding that size.
Don't forget about extra costs like taking out a light or door card which could make the price to $225
I just got a call last week from a guy that tried to repair his own dent. He wanted me to come out and undo his mistakes. We generally charge more for the extra work of repairing previously repaired dents. Just be mindful of that.
I've done PDR for over 19 years and comparatively, $125.00 to repair a dent, maintain your original paint, skip a rental car, skip the hassle of a bodyshop having your car for days or weeks, and not have a Carfax hit is a win. Oh, and most of us are mobile so we come to you for added convenience...you really can't beat it to be honest.
What kind of glue ? Just can’t use Elmer’s.
I didn't see one heat gun in this video. I'm not a pro pdr but I have some experience in that field of work. It is easier to heat the metal first before performing pdr. This expands the molecules in the metal making it easier to manipulate the dent. Otherwise its going to be alot more difficult if the metal is cold and the molecules are tight also the silver hammer you were using on the tap down is the wrong hammer. You should have been using the small dead blow hammer supplied with the kit the silver hammer is the crown hammer. Never the less still fun to watch 👍
how much does it cost to have the pro come in?
Our starting price is $125.00 for a mobile repair. We'll repair up to 5 small dime sized to nickel sized dings for that provided there isn't a lot of R+I involved.
$150 to $175 for Quarter to Half dollar sized.
Anything over 5 inches is 125.00 to 150.00 for the first inch and 50.00 each additional inch after that.
Some places charge more, but that's about a base where we start.
I have a kit and it's not working at all I've different tabs and it will not pull the dent out even a little any suggestions
Yes, pay a paintless repair pro $100.
As a PDR pro, I'm glad you didn't try and DIY the Subaru yourself and yank paint in the process.
Subaru Paint sucks.
You ain’t use heat?
IPA removes hot glue no mess
you can easy remove hot glue with rubbing alcohol
What kind of glue are you using? Regular glue gun glue or something special?
Yannick OnTheWorldWideWeb I'd say it's regular glue gun glue.
Whwt is liquid is he using for remove the glue?
paint thinner
Only one pity issue is that the glue may destroy the factory paint of the vehicle, which may cause another need of repairing the paint.
There are special glues for this kind of work.
🛠
"really makes the dent stick out"
hmmm
i dropped a box of cereal on the hood of my suv and it made a dent, im going to get this tool. why are the body panels so thin in the first place.
What cereal do you eat? Iron girders?
Top tip.. that kind of glue can be removed very very easily with some normal lighter fluid, juts a dribble around the edge of the glue and it will creep between the surface and the glue and just fall off within 30 seconds.
use alcohol to remove glue easier
Kitne ka price
am i crazy...or did he use PAINT?
If you spray a little denatured alcohol on that hot glue it'll peel right off
Question
Is it good?
Do it works?
Amount
Never use paint thinner on paint.
You should be careful when you stick your rod into a strange hole.
Lol 😂
Especially without protection
When your voice goes up and the end of every sentence it sounds like you're constantly asking questions.
Otherwise great vid.
Australian accent lol
@@steviegbcool
I'm a Aussie too, and I used to do it but my parents worked hard to get me out of the habit.
It's not a issue here in Australia but people from other countries think it's really strange.
Upward inflection, like Becky the cheerleader.
