What do you want us to try next??
Professional Window Tint vs DYI Window tint
Selling the Miata to the junkyard
Salvia, maybe DMT
Nitrous or corner balance?
Is that custom music by nickisnotgreen?
This is one of those things where I would ABSOLUTELY spend the money on a pro.
I have a prius full of dents. I'm thinking I'll probably try diy-ing it just for fun. I guess it depends on if the car is worth the professional treatment to you. :)
@@danielroytanked2375 *absolutely worth it if you give a damn about the car
@Steven Losey I give a damn about the car. Just not really about how it looks. 100% a point A to point B car. Not going to be taking it to shows any time soon
Indeed some of the detailing processes are usually better left to a pro who can guarantee you a good job when is on vehicles you really care and don't want to mess up
@Pinocchio congratulations No one fucking cares
why does nobody ever talk about the mini songs donut makes for the diy or don’t videos? Like they’re so good and funny 😭 11:53
was about to see if the Dent Pro theme song got any love lol
the one in this episode absolutely slapped too Lol
LOL dude i’m mid watch and hear and literally lold
I'm only in the comments looking for people showing some love for their mini songs! 😂😂😂 They're really really good and so subtle I love it!
needed lyrics on the screen though!
I have always said and continue to say, Donut has an absolute Stellar cast. Everyone is so entertaining and great to watch, especially Jobe. Even better that their content is so fucking sweet
Except for James Pumphrey 😬😬
'Cept for jeremiah
Absolutely agree except for James. I actively avoid his videos even if they're an interesting topic. Lad is obnoxious
@@deramon1000 y’all are literally the first people ive ever heard saying they don’t like James
@@GarretRB they're probably on their old years, James energy is too much for them 😂
Man This PRO vs DIY series is just awesome
It gives lots of entertainment and information
Love it
Pro vs idiot
You know what costs less than 600$? A new fender
I went with the pro. I had my entire car done for $800 CAD, considering my trunk has some hail damage I am amazed that it only cost $800 to get every single dent out of my car. It looks brand new.
Where did you go in canada
@@cameronknowles6267 I am in Toronto, I went to a business called Magic Dent Repair. Great guy.
That's a hook up w/ a brother discount. Honda and Bmw charges $800 cad fixing an inch or 2inches dent. The whole car they'll charged atleast $3000. I know bc I worked for them.
@@SvetGolovkin1462 to be fair most if not all of the dents were smaller than a penny in size, Probably 15-20 in total on the whole car though.
@@SvetGolovkin1462 Going local will almost always be a lot cheaper. Even for paint touch up repair, local garage quoted £120 for a few spots, Renualt wanted over £300
Jason was super informative and seemed really comfortable talking to the camera.
He gave bob ross vibes to me
The Bob Ross of dent repair
I'm now going to tell them when I'm done.. I'm done
Glad i wasnt the only one that felt that way. He almost seemed like a regular donut crew to me.
I’ve been doing body work for about 6 years and even I can’t do PDR it’s a completely different skill. So don’t feel to bad zack
What does PDR stand for?
@@s3renity690 I think it's "Paintless Dent Repair"
I’ve been doing body work for 35 years, I’ve never picked a dent anywhere near good. We do use glue pulling to straighten dents then fix them conventionally. PDR is an art.
Never had the opportunity to do it?
As a professional PDR tech this is extremely enlightening to watch, I will be asking my customers who claim they "take out" their dents on their own to watch this video, I applaud a good repair attempt though.
Why would you have cusomers to repair dents when they've already repaired the dents? Thats like me getting a painter and decorator in when i've already succeded in decorating my house. Or do you mean your customers who've tried to repair dents?
@@Omega11998822 could you paint the Mona Lisa? You could try and see how good your results are, you might be happy with it, or you could ask a professional artist to paint you the Mona Lisa, if they are good then you will not be able to spot the difference between theirs and the original Mona Lisa. Now if that artist has to try and make your painting look closer to the Mona Lisa, than it will take them more times to go over your mistakes and sometimes they will have to start over on a fresh canvas from the beginning. Same goes for PDR and autobody work.
@@snowASS8888 dents are something that if you mess up on, you cannot undo, if you're serious about diy stuff, i would first try it on a car that i dont care about, some 30 year old car with a bunch of autobody damage, if this is a car i care about, i would gladly pay $800 to make it look nice.
@@devonesq.7533 I agree! and the truth of the matter is that PDR is the least obtrusive dent repair approach compared to conventional bodywork, I educate my customers on the danger of DIY PDR attempts all the time and that's why they don't try PDR at home after bringing their vehicle to me
@@devonesq.7533 Another option is a junkyard hood, hit it with a hammer and attempt repairs repeatedly until your comfortable enough to try on something ya kinda care about or find out that pros just make it look easy and that your better off paying
Covid must have hit music industry hard when James Hetfield is fixing dents on cars.
Pretty sure Lady Gaga is writing custom songs for the Donut professionals too.
Seriously underrated comment right here
The line "that which I desire" in Fuel is about dent repair tools
oh.........''GIMME FUEL''
4:00 Zack: "I spent a hundred bucks on my whole set."
Jason: "We will see how that works out."
Someday I wish to have Jason's level of professional confidence.
you will
he could have let him use his tools and it would have probably been the exact same outcome...
2 Minutes later:
- i spent roughly 200 bucks for this 💀🤣
Just putting this out there. This is the only channel where I don't skip the sponsored video message.
I skip it, I skip it so hard.
@@ImDying2Live Shh we're trying to send signals to sponsors to pay Donut more money because people actually watch the sponsored part!
I like that they actually put effort into it and aren't just reading a RAID SHADOW LEGENDS script
@@HaloAssassins Internert Historian has masterd the craft of sponsorships. Sometimes the sponsors segment is better than the rest of the video.
@@ImDying2Live I am sorry you will never know the epic tail of uncle Jerry and his best friend Dave. ;)
KEEP BRINGING THE DAMN HITS!!! the music that's being tailored to each pro is so amazing lol 🤣 need full length versions!!
11:47
Indeed !!
This was the best one yet!
Daaaayum, that’s cooordination. ☠️😂
My prayers have been answered 🙏🏽. I’ve been wait for you guys to make a video about paintless dent repair.
Being a PDR tech for the last 17 years I can say this video was spot on.
I apprenticed with a PDR guy for almost a year. I still wasn't very good at it after that long. It's an art as much as a science and takes a lot of experience to be an expert.
Worked with a guy that did it as a side hustle in his shop and he’d been doing it for 25 years. It’s an artform
Fr
When I used to work as a BIW(body in white) tech before. I used to pull dents left and right in the production line.It's way easier on the bare metal and aluminum surfaces, but when pulling dents on a painted car. Boiiiiiii u gotta have patience to do this job. Thats why I applaud these PDR techs for keeping the job done. I thought I was a pro dealing dents, but when I tried PDR, fuc! I was struggling 😩. Patience is a virtue thats for sure.
My dad owns a local body shop in my town, growing up watching him take a beat up peace of junk and making it completely brand new in a matter a couple days. That's when I realized I definitely don't have the patience as well as he, maybe it's learned over the years but watching a professional do body work on a car that needs a lots of work is like art
I have uncles that have serious years of experience doing PDR. My first time taking out a dent with their tools took me 5 min to do just one, and they can do it in 60 sec or less and far better.
Without watching the video I'd say a PRO is the way to go.
Good content, Donut never dissapoints.
Jason looks like the main character in an action movie. Watching him work is kind of the coolest thing ever.
As a glass company owner I need to see a diy windshield install or crack/chip repair
Chrisfix did one
Infinitely easier than PDR
@@poggersthepuppy6547 I have seen his video, it is actually very informative and he does very good job there. But we should note that he does his works with propers tools, does not cheap out in anything (as it should be) and he is not totall beginner, he is at this point mid level technician.
Most of us would not be able to do repairs in his level even at same conditions.
If you’re just wanting to clean up some dents in your truck/beater, go for it. But if you care at ALL about the paint/appearance then hire a pro. It CAN be done, but you’re more likely to make it worse. Ask me how I know.
Yup, even here shows how diy dent fix can go wrong
how do you know?
@@kareemashraf- My cousin’s girlfriend’s dads boyfriend’s step uncle did it. Didn’t go so well.
@@colinhess8900 Thats a lot of layers!
@@colinhess8900Totally sounds believable...
this series is amazing but whats even better are the theme songs for the pros. Imma need a spotify playlist.
I was hoping someone else liked the music lol
Look at the Flicka Da Wrist 🤣 Haha absolutely love the mini song!
I think it’d be interesting to see the pros use the “budget” tool kits and teach Zach at the same time. This may help the newbies see just how far they can get on a budget setup before needing to step up to the higher end more specialized tools.
In the case of PDR I’d say it’ll take a lot of time, experience and skill before one needs to start spending a few grand on tools let alone 25+
Problem is these pros have no incentive to teach themselves out of a job
@pilotdog68 yup, i see a bunch of them in this comments section, gatekeeping their profession. Same thing with detailers, they lack the drive to introduce the next generation to the profession. Otherwise we'd realize this is all work we could be doing ourselves
As a collision tech, watching our PDR guy is amazing. huge appreciation for PDR guys. Also saves some money on a very occasional opps in the shop.
“This is more annoying than my hair”
As a guy who started growing mine out around the same time as Zack (it’s about the same length now) I 100% relate. It’s super annoying sometimes but so cool it’s worth it
It's 100% worth it in the end. Zachs is badass it's nice to see someone that's different on the show, not all cookie cutter dudes.
Haha same! I permanently wear headphones now because it keeps my hair out of my eyes, but now even that is starting to fail...
@@AN2Felllla it's worse if u have curlyier hair than Zach's. Worth it in the end though.
I've been doing pdr for a while and Jason seems like a nice guy most older pdr guys especially hail techs have such a ego but from what I've learned is most hail guys sometimes struggle with side panels and oversized dents.
I would say it’s a good 50/50 on hail guys that have the skill to do it from route type experience but being too lazy to put much effort into side panels as they could fix a whole hail panel for more $ in roughly the same amount of time vs. hail guys who only learned how to fix hail and have no experience at all with side panels.
@@pdub62 thats true cause I have experience in both retail hail and route cars and when I work in a shop I see more experienced hail techs struggle on certain panels sometimes even drilling holes but guys who have experience in both dont have that issue but they are sometimes slower at hail. All in all I like the job so I like trying everything from hail to oversized dents Bryce Kelly is a huge inspiration. But my complaint is the ego that guys get everyone claims to be the number 1 tech aswell as how everyone constantly complains and gossips
I love that you're not only showing us the DIY method and evaluating whether or not it's worth it, but you're also showcasing a local professional who's knowledgeable about the process.
This series is fantastic.
Jobe knows how to make his audience have a good time, always massively entertained by his videos.
Loving this series. We need a Diy or Dont for some modifications, especially after Money Pit. Would love to see some simple stuff like Suspension changes, all the way up to custom exhausts or remaps.
Remap is definitely a don't, as exhaust for a turbo car !
11:53 Will be vibing to this for the rest of the day, thank you very much.
I love watching someone that is really good at what they do. Very impressive.
Donut could get almost literally anyone interested in cars. I love this channel so much. Quality beyond belief
This pro was great in front of the camera. Good stuff Donut!
I'm stoked that you guys are going as complete as you can on these cars and incorporating video content to accomplish both wins at the same time. It would be awesome to be able to see a collection of the cars that you guys have transformed and also see how restored and far they can come from what they started as. Really great to see these useful topics, it doesn't matter if it could be common knowledge to the hardcore out there, you guys have a great teaching and presenting style so its always useful information even if it might not be new information. Thanks!
This guy is so zen and chill about it. I could watch him fix dents for a while.
Really great video! It makes me appreciate pros like Jason even more.
Once upon a time, a deer slid into the side of my car and placed a giant dent on the door. I put some soap and water on the dent and pulled it out with a plunger. It wasn't perfect but it was one of my crowning achievements.
I'm loving this series, staying humble and letting the pros do their thing so we can all learn something new.
Whoever does those low-poly 3D models and animations needs a medal.
I wouldn’t touch this and I do a lot of my own work on my cars. This is a job for a well seasoned pro! I would pay this man to fix the few door dings on my 05 lowered deville.
I would like to see alot more content with Jason. Perhaps a series on how to fix dents!? What a guy!
As a paintless dent repairer myself I found this video highly accurate and entertaining. Additionally much like the PDR Guy said, I get called often by people who have attempted a repair themselves and have damaged the dent beyond a perfect repair by stretching the panel, especially with glue.
Whoever does the lil songs for this series deserves a raise. They are absolute gold. This one's for you, Professional Song Guy...
Thank you donut media I’m in a really dark place right now so your informative and funny and just plain entertaining so thanks guys ur genuinely helping me
Hope youre still hanging in there and that things are better now...
I'm loving this new series 😍
I love how you dedicate a song to every professional on the shop.
It's all in the details, thank you Donut media.
I love these Pro vs DIY episodes. I think it is awesome to give praise to those professionals, not to mention, it provides insight into what is available in the car world. I never thought there was such thing as a mobile paintless dent repair.
Loves these videos, hope to see one with paint/clear coat restoration
I love this series! Anything with Zack is always my jam. Something I think that would make this series even better would be asking the pros how to start and get I to doing what they do. I would definitely pay a pro to fix my fender but I also would love to learn how to do some bodywork like this, only issue is I have no idea where to start
As a pro myself, this is a tough question to answer. PDR Training (where we all start) is expensive and meant for anyone wanting to do this for a living. If you only want to do this part time, as a hobby, or just for your own repairs - it would be overkill on the budget. And PDR is difficult to learn. You need to spend years just to get "decent" at it.
What a great guest and he's such a good sport about sharing secrets! Thank you guys.
I watch all the ads done by the Donut crew, best ads on UA-cam imo, and the only ones I don't skip! Love it
Let’s go Wednesdays. Missed you there for a couple weeks. Love the new series 🔥
They really made a cover song for their dent guy. That's quality.
The effort for the sponsors ads and Jason music haha 😂😂😂😂😂😂 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Love the music for Jason's part when he's fixing the second dent in the Miata. Great video!
You guys have the best sponsored segments ever.
The producton quality on this series is amazing. The custom music, the custom sprites/modles. Truly a chefs kiss
Absolutely brilliant video. Watching a Pro at work is something else. Thanks for sharing. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Sometimes you just gotta watch Donut vids for the sponsors
Yesss plsss … i have tried so many tricks to try to remove dents … once on the roof which was caused by a mango falling on it 🤧
This pro needs his own show.
*Look at the flick of the wrist*
*DAMN that’s coordination*
😂
I love catching donut media change their titles earlier this was like “ dent pulling pro vs diy “ or something
11:50 so where are we getting a Donut Media record label?
fr why is nobody mentioning it?? i was vibin
The way you can tell the dent guy is a true expert is that he's laser focused on his work but when he's talking about it he looks bored and a little tired. That's the demeanor of a man who's fixed thousands of dents.
I can not explain how awesome this new series is, its not just buying and modifying a car that I can't afford it's stuff that I can actually use!
POV: zach just wanted to do this episode so the pro can remove the dents from his miata
"Should you pay someone with experience and 100x more tools than you to do a very specialized job?"
Yeah, tough question.
I'm just professionally done this on my car by a pro. Worth every penny.
I really like the pros you've picked for this series. They don't put down the DIY, but try to educate while being confident in their work.
As a 3 year pdr technician I can confirm it takes a while to figure out the magic finesse and also learning all the different manufacturers gauges of metal and what metal is used.
It's one of situations where you aren't paying the guy $600 for the 4 hours he works on your car, you're paying him $600 for the 10 years he spent learning how to do it.
What a great way to remove your small dent just to have 35 smaller bumps... call a pro for this 😂
The professional should start a UA-cam channel of his own. Very relaxing and calm demeanor.
As a PDR tech of 12yrs, I gotta say THANK YOU! Too many car guys think we just "pop" or quickly pull out dents with little to no skill, every week I see a suction cup or eBay glue pull kit in the corner of the garage when I do a repair.
This is one of the best ads the donut crew has ever done
once when I was a kid we were playing basketball in my friends driveway and the basketball ricocheted and left a pretty big dent in the door. His parents were obviously furious, but a day or two later we were back at it, shootin hoops and someone's butt hit the edge of the dent perfectly and popped it out.
complete stroke of luck, but it was pretty koo
"We're Phat-Ass Dent Repair! Call us at 1-900-MIX-A-LOT. We'll fix them nasty dents."
@@AisuruMirai yo funny enough it was the fat kid of the friends group who dun it. We would've paraded him around like Rudy but ya know....
The best part of that carparts ad is that someone was laying down in the Miata to pop the headlights up and down
Pro for sure! And Jason definitely seems like a great guy. Probably an excellent teacher!
Day 299 of asking Donut to bring old B2B back
Do you ever comment anything else?
Thank you for these episodes!! Always a great day when @donut uploads
Hehehe that guy has a great sense of humor. “And, we’re done.”
Fantastic video and thanks to your guest for sharing his knowledge
I love the little songs we get in the middle of the episodes. This series rocks!
Lovely watching a pro doing what he does with silent confidence!
Zack I've been loving this series
I love this new series!!!
Loving the series by the way... Great idea.
There is so much finesse that goes into a work like this, damn
I used to be a detailer at a pretty big dealership here in Omaha. The dealership's contracted PDR company would sometimes use one of our bays if we had room and the body shop nextdoor didn't.
Watching those guys work was like watching a master sculptor creating his next masterpiece. The sheer focus and concentration in their faces was something I'd never seen. They'd bring in a hail damaged car that looked like the surface of a golf ball, and make it look like it was brand new. Of course, they'd wash those cars themselves after they were done. We shidiot apes weren't going to be the ones to ruin the hours of painstaking effort they'd just put in.
PDR is truly an art form, and it takes a lot of time and patience to be good at it. These dudes performed miracles.
That shot of the Jeremiah’s notes. 😂😂😂 Reminds me of the Jackie Treehorn scene in Lebowski.
Having said that, for a first car/junk project, anyone should take some time to learn some of this. Best part is that while you develop a little “bond” with the vehicle, you learn some things that probably will be beneficial down the line when you have your next vehicles. None of this DIY stuff should be overlooked as it can be great for learning new things that might save you in a pinch and doing some TLC on an vehicle will up it’s value not only for you but also for the next owner if you sell, and yes, it might be bittersweet if it’s final days are as nails, at least you learned some tricks for the next car👍🏼
I love the design of those 3d models!!!
Been loving this series
Absolutely love all the crew at donut ! And the only channel where i would watch their sponsor adds !
I LOLED when you pulled the mallet out that came with a shelf from Amazon! diy jobs need diy tools I guess.
I literally have the same one it's so handy I use it to hang pictures in my house. It 100% came with the garage cube shelf from Amazon.
Seeing the amount of skill involved in doing it right really does help justify spending the money on a pro. This really is one of those jobs that sounds a lot easier than it actually is.
I took out some surface dents on my quarter panels on my 2000 F250 P/U with a heat gun and a small & large plunger ..it worked out well & you really have to study the area up close to see the slight creases left..👍
The amount of professionals I’ve seen say ‘that’s dangerous’.. I’m a builder and I always support people doing work theirself, like building a wall, it might not be right but it’s good to see someone trying.. diy is mostly the right decision, just do it yourself and learn, then you have the skills for the future
He just discovered why that dude has the patience of a god. And lots of experience and skill to go with it. And he didn't use all that many tools. He just has all the tools he could ever possibly need on hand to make it happen to the best of his abilities
