Great work. It may be cheaper to replace and repaint the panel, but the finished result will never be as good as the original paint and finish. This is the real value in PDR - being able to retain the original panels and paint finish. I would prefer to pay more for PDR than the always lesser quality aftermarket paint finish. Well done!
Thank you Riverside for your great comment I appreciate that and you’re absolutely right. I think Paintless Dent Removal as an Alternative repair method is massively under rated and that’s why I push my repairs over the internet to educate people on this amazing technique Thanks again Martin
No matter what anybody says, even the real experts in paint refinishing can never match the finish quality of your run off the mill cars of today. You can always spot a repaired/refinished panel - not just paint but also seam filling etc. Dirt nibs and fish eyes are common too - and the painter never get rid of all of them meaning you have to either take it back to them again! or live with an imperfect finish. I have tried plenty of so called gun panel shops and there has always been some kind of imperfection that I pick up. Drives me nuts, but over time you get worn down and your standards drop. At least with PDR, there is no paint or panel issues - if you use the correct lights you are essentially going over the panel with a fine tooth comb as part of your quality control.
If the car is common enough you can find a door of the same color for $500 or so from a junkyard. Judging by what OP has for tools and the time he put into this... the job cost far more than $500.
Thanks for your comment. There’s a lot of ways to look at this and while you are correct that you could by a SH door or panel for the car, if your not bothered about a slight difference in shade too then it’s perfectly fine to do this. I swapped a Nissan juke door the other month, the guy bought a SH door for £300 and I swapped it (internals etc) for 150 +vat A dent repair could be a similar price but you keep the panel original to the car and the paint isn’t an issue. Please don’t forget I also have a business to run, so the way I repair damage is with PDR. Many people want this type of repair rather than chance a SH panel or a repair and paint. Same goes for other businesses it’s all about personal preference and choice. This yellow wing repair and similar would be around the 500 +vat mark And fixed within a day. No taxis or missed days off work for the customer
Amazing thank you Iain ! Only a few helping tools but the real science is the skills which we have. It’s time at the end of the day, if we have it on a job we’d fix it 🙌🏼
Hi @duncansteward4331 thank you. Yes it was still worth it. I got the day rates for the repair. And now this video generates money from the views and well into the future. I’ve created videos in the past which have generated more than the value of the car So yes it’s worth it 😊
if it was something like a focus or astra, would probably be more cost effective to replace, that Volvo door would cost a bomb so this repair made sense, even if he got is straight enough for filler would be worth the effort.
@@JohnSmith-it6hj Hi John, the vehicle was a Vauxhall Mokka but the owner didn’t want this repainting so replacing the door wasn’t an option in this case. But replacing it would be a viable option and I’ve replaced doors for less damage
Thank you. They take a lot of work but the deep ones can be fixed. But every dent is different and every repair has its challenges Thanks for watching and commenting 🙌🏼
Wow! I've seen many bodyshops just suck their teeth and say, "that's a new door skin mate" Your professional patience repair and skill definitely shows here. Top top job! 👌🏻
A High Tech Craftsman , amazing skill, training to use that kit must have been first class as well I wonder is it more difficult to achieve perfection with a darker colour , but then again there is no paint matching to worry about !
Thank you! I didn’t attend any training to use these tools- any PDR tools really as I self taught It’s all experience at the end of the day, I’ve not been successful on many past jobs so I learn every day Yes a darker colour like black would have been a nightmare to fix!!
I am fascinated by your techniques and skills. I had a £1000 quote from a bodyshop to repair a small dent below a ridge line on my Jag door. The quote included £330 for "paint and materials"😳. When I asked them to justify it, they suggested I might get it done cheaper elsewhere. So I have done it myself with encouragement from your brilliant videos of your work. Of course, I am nowhere near as skilled or equipped as you but I have achieved a very passable result using hot melt pullers and gently knocking back the high spots. The result has left me with a very small repair, unfortunately not be paintless because it was scraped when the car was reversed into a concrete plant pot. Thanks.
The quality of the paints these days are mad to be able to take all that abuse and still look good is crazy. Well done on the repair i really didnt think that was possible at the start with the 2 severe dents i thought it was too far gone earnt your money on this one.👏🏼
Thank you for your great comment. Originally I wasn’t going to fix the 2 sharp dents but once I was repairing I gave it a shot. And it repairing the end!
What amazing tools and watching your approach to problem solving is fascinating. Someone reversed their manky old van into my car this morning, I wish I had your brains and equipment. 👍
@@dentremover01 Thanks. Unfortunately they want £1044 to repair it, which for me is a full months' wages. I'd happily drive it around with a dent in it but the nearside rear light cluster now protrudes from the body panel by about an inch and a half so it's an MOT failure and likely to draw attention from unwanted agencies or individuals.
Hey Richie! Yes I think your repair is still up there with the beasts I’ve fixed in the past! And I still haven’t figured out how to magic them out, like you magic them in! Joking! I hope your well my friend and hope business is booming? Thanks Martin
Thanks Martin. 🙏 You've made it so easy, by linking the tools in the desciption and also posting pictures in PDR Beginners FaceBook. Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺
Blew me away, I remember seeing a guy like you come to the car dealership I worked at during the 80's, you guys are miracle workers (he just used hammers and dollys I think)
Greeting from the US. I’m impressed. Just checked out your latest video and subscribed. Even in my traditional way of repairing, too many techs fail to understand stress relieving BEFORE you start to remove the damage. I’ve never seen the electronic shrinker. Very cool. Excellent video and high quality production. Thanks for checking mine out.
Hi. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch the Mokka video I thought you’d like it! These Electronic shrinking tools are amazing and they can easily be used in bodyshop repairs too The main shrinking setups are from Power PDR and also Cam Auto. As a time served Panel beater I found your content and explanations extremely interesting, and as a panel beater I always struggled to shrink using a torch, also used a serrated hammer so your tip was taken on board. I fix big stuff without painting now, I hope you get chance to see my other videos and il continue to gain knowledge from your channel All the best, Martin 🇬🇧
Thank you so much. I didn’t think it was possible either but I tried my best to save the door for my customer friend and it worked! Thanks for watching and commenting
Super impressive. I helped a friend with a dent someone left in her quarter panel. I do not have even 1/10 of your skill or tools. It worked out okay with some minor imperfections you would have worked out. I told her to see an artist like yourself to get it perfect. She did not have the money to spend for a professional. You are a good friend for spending so much time on this. I can see why most shops replace the door skin and paint it, but your result is better to keep the factory skin and paint intact.
I couldnt wait to see you do those 2 deep dents , how the paint didnt split shocks me .I know paint is flexible but i didnt expect those results ..amazing
Hi Jeffries. I too didn’t expect to save those dents. I thought I would either split the paint, burn it or tarnish the colour. Luckily I avoided all of those! But I’ve messed up smaller and easier dents than that in the past
@@dentremover01 nice! Question, what would a repair like that cost in comparison to replacing the door skin, or painting/fitting a new or used door? I recall it being about £300 per panel for paint alone... And is it covered by insurance?
What a talented man you are martin a fantastic professional video explainly every detail process. Good to see that we still have craftsmen like you top rate cant wait to see more videos
Thank you very much Chris i appreciate your kind words. I’m on with the next video now and il look forward to sharing it with you as soon as it’s finished. All the best Martin
Good job. And one advice when you use pdr shrinking box when panel is got hot directly apply ice 🧊 to the back side of the panel and it will make it reshape do it several times tell panel get reshape
Thanks for great advice. I don’t have any ice at work unfortunately I did however use a spray (ice cold) and also heaps of cold water and a rag. It may have slightly helped like we do when panel beating with a torch. But as the power PDR box uses frequencies to shrink the metal it’s not needed. Trust me I tried ABSOLUTELY everything to shrink this like I said in my video The best method was a low power and voltage on the power box. Using water or ice back side could make the panel rust if not cleaned properly Great observation though 🙌🏼
@@dentremover01 when you said ‘Work’ but it sounded like ‘Werk’ I thought hang on that is an accent from about 9 miles away. Epic work and if I ever need anything doing I know where I’m going
Thank you for your comment. Yes I agree it’s often better to replace the door. Customer wanted it repairing with PDR It’s more expensive to replace the door and paint the side Thanks Martin
Just come across your channel and watched you repair the rear door on the Mokka. I was astounded at what you achieved. It must take quite a bit of training to get the proficiency in dealing with dents if all shapes and sizes. I shall be watching a few more of your videos to appreciate your skills. 👍😎
Thank you! I didn’t attend any training to use these tools- any PDR tools really as I self taught It’s all experience at the end of the day, I’ve not been successful on many past jobs so I learn every day. You could say I train every day! Thanks so much for your kind comment and for enjoying my video
Wow! The ability of those tools in (obviously very) skilled hands is something else..! I get that this is not economical viable for a car where replacements are easily available, but it could absolutely be a life saver for an obscure classic where replacement panels are unobtainable.
Thank you. I did ask a bodyshop to price a new door and repaint. It’s in the description for you to see the break down. My repair was cheaper than a new door +paint BUT it’s not always down to cost- if a customer is just shopping for the cheapest repair method then I’m not interested in spending the time and skill to save a panel like this. I’m an ex panel beater and can repair this in many ways, filler, door skin, second hand door. Then you need to pick a good painter but if it’s cost that’s the main focus there are super cheap painters but it will look absolutely crap- and then the owners wasted all that money Lots of factors involved but I know my repair was done to the highest standard and I should be awarded for the work =not cheap price!
I had a feeling it would do that but I went so careful! At one point I was using my valeting deodorant as a cooling spray! The door still smelt nice after a polish lol
Great repair Mr Sadler! The detail and explanation at each stage was spot on, the LTS and the hotbox working are so clear in your video too, top marks! and I love the Coyote reference too, did your friend paint a tunnel on the side of his car, 😂
Thanks Tom appreciate! I nearly bought a sticker to give him! I enjoy using those specialist tools but the repairs take ages! On with the Yellow front wing now! 2hr edit to get down to 20mins!!
@ i am from Blackpool but have lived in California for 20 years. I started watching your channel as i have a bad bump in my rear wing. I reached out to local companies and they all said they cannot do it. It does not seem worse than your worst dent you have repaired. I wish I could borrow you over here.
What ever you are paying yourself triple it and then some that was amazing practically brand new am guessing you could spot the flaws I couldn’t amazing work amazing skill and patience to get it there WOW
Thanks! I tried this along with rag n water etc, ultimately it came down to low voltage and power on the machine worked best leaving the panel to cool on its own. I tried higher power n voltage but I didn’t get the best out of the shrinking. I used a fragrance spray for interiors to cool it- door still Smelt nice when it left the workshop!!
Wow, incredible technique! In practice, if I understand correctly, by continuing to hit the material on both sides, the metal is as if it “stretches”. The electrical impulses help to restore the right “tension”, correct? Anyway, this time too the final result is of the highest level. For his part, the customer was lucky because the risk of damage to the paint in such a crash was very high.
Sou Martelinho de Ouro no Brasil, sei o quanto é difícil recuperar um amassado desses, na última semana demorei 3 dias para reparar a lateral de uma picape! O resultado final é recompensador!!! Parabéns pelo trabalho!!
hey its Ade's father in law again, wow i didn't think you would get them out and also how flexy is that paint, i had someone put a dent in my Honda prelude same depths as those two but just one and it instantly cracked the paint in multiple stretch lines, its still there as not got round to knocking it out but no chance of a paint-less removal for me lol
Hi Ades Father hope you and family are well? This isn’t what I usually fix and I was originally going to fix the outer areas and save the door, letting a bodyshop fill the 2 sharp dents but as I had the time to fix and was being paid to try that’s what I did- and I’m glad I tried! I learn heaps from repairs like this. Sorry your Honda prelude wasn’t so lucky, nice cars I remember fitting a full rear end on one of those once! Boot floor and everything else!! Rear steering? Thanks for watching and commenting and take care Martin
@@dentremover01 yeah iv got two of them one is rear steering the other is the base model that's the one with the nasty dent that fractured the paint, whole car needs a respray anyway so not really a big problem, just put a shorter ratio gearbox in it make 0 to 100 sick man lol just need to cut the rot above back arches weld some new metal in and do a full respray now on this one, then the other with 4 wheel stear is the vti vtech need to do a auto to manual swap and a full rebuild of everything suspension breaks all links all bushes all ball joints and many more bit plus partial engine rebuild at some point as want to turbo that one.

That was bloodt amazing, I'm just starting on dent removal but this result was superb.
Hi Darran thank you for your great comment and congratulations starting PDR
I wish you all the best 🙌🏼
White paint tends to turn yellow from shrinking, great job :)
I had a feeling it would do that but I went so careful!
At one point I was using my valeting deodorant as a cooling spray! The door still smelt nice after a polish lol

Sorry missed that bit,fabulous repair though well done
Thanks John!!
Brice Kelly off UK 👏👏,Amazing work and Great saving.
Thanks mate!
Great repair Mr Sadler! The detail and explanation at each stage was spot on, the LTS and the hotbox working are so clear in your video too, top marks! and I love the Coyote reference too, did your friend paint a tunnel on the side of his car, 😂
Thanks Tom appreciate! I nearly bought a sticker to give him! I enjoy using those specialist tools but the repairs take ages! On with the Yellow front wing now! 2hr edit to get down to 20mins!!
Amazing job !! And great presentation too .
Thank you very much 🤗
Unbelievable! I would not believe that could be done.
Thanks Eddie
@ i am from Blackpool but have lived in California for 20 years. I started watching your channel as i have a bad bump in my rear wing. I reached out to local companies and they all said they cannot do it. It does not seem worse than your worst dent you have repaired. I wish I could borrow you over here.
What ever you are paying yourself triple it and then some that was amazing practically brand new am guessing you could spot the flaws I couldn’t amazing work amazing skill and patience to get it there WOW
Nice save dude! If you use freezing spray after using the power box , it shrinks way faster!
Thanks! I tried this along with rag n water etc, ultimately it came down to low voltage and power on the machine worked best leaving the panel to cool on its own.
I tried higher power n voltage but I didn’t get the best out of the shrinking.
I used a fragrance spray for interiors to cool it- door still
Smelt nice when it left the workshop!!
One of the best in the world mate
Thanks Graham! From one tech to another!
Wow, incredible technique! In practice, if I understand correctly, by continuing to hit the material on both sides, the metal is as if it “stretches”. The electrical impulses help to restore the right “tension”, correct? Anyway, this time too the final result is of the highest level.
For his part, the customer was lucky because the risk of damage to the paint in such a crash was very high.
Hi Massimo! Yes your right only I use the wand on the inside against bare metal only. It’s highly effective and saves the job plenty of times.
Absolutely brilliant. Just love watching your vids. 👍👍👍👍
Amazing thank you so much I really appreciate your support!
You are a true pro mate amazing
Thank you so much Austin Matthews
I’m from hull. Shout out to Beverly. Great place. I’d play for west hull and lost 3 rugby league finals to Beverly!

Sou Martelinho de Ouro no Brasil, sei o quanto é difícil recuperar um amassado desses, na última semana demorei 3 dias para reparar a lateral de uma picape! O resultado final é recompensador!!! Parabéns pelo trabalho!!
Amazing job Martin 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Just incredible Martin, pure Pro science 💪🤘
lol there was some science in that repair I tell you! ⚡️
How is it even possible? The stretching did insane job but those sharp dent were impossible to repair, well done!
Sterling work, sir!
Thanks Peter
Amazing work as always!Looking at the result on FB,cant wait to watch it
Thanks Richard
Amazing job, well done👌👍
Thank yoi
Spot on mate well done enjoyed the video thanks for sharing
Thank you George for your kind comment I’m very happy you enjoyed the video 🤗
Hey thanks great video love it looks like a new door
Hi Bill thank you!!🙏
hey its Ade's father in law again, wow i didn't think you would get them out and also how flexy is that paint, i had someone put a dent in my Honda prelude same depths as those two but just one and it instantly cracked the paint in multiple stretch lines, its still there as not got round to knocking it out but no chance of a paint-less removal for me lol
Hi Ades Father hope you and family are well?
This isn’t what I usually fix and I was originally going to fix the outer areas and save the door, letting a bodyshop fill the 2 sharp dents but as I had the time to fix and was being paid to try that’s what I did- and I’m glad I tried! I learn heaps from repairs like this.
Sorry your Honda prelude wasn’t so lucky, nice cars I remember fitting a full rear end on one of those once! Boot floor and everything else!! Rear steering?
Thanks for watching and commenting and take care
Martin
@@dentremover01 yeah iv got two of them one is rear steering the other is the base model that's the one with the nasty dent that fractured the paint, whole car needs a respray anyway so not really a big problem, just put a shorter ratio gearbox in it make 0 to 100 sick man lol just need to cut the rot above back arches weld some new metal in and do a full respray now on this one, then the other with 4 wheel stear is the vti vtech need to do a auto to manual swap and a full rebuild of everything suspension breaks all links all bushes all ball joints and many more bit plus partial engine rebuild at some point as want to turbo that one.
Masterpiece !!! Thanks Martin for this Video. 💪🏻
Thank you so much!
