"So how is Paintless Dent Repair done any how?"
I am frequently asked this type of question.
There are a lot of misconceptions about exactly how it is done and the methods used to provide a quality dent repair without having to re-paint or use auto body filler on your car.
When meeting with a customer about their car and it's dents I do try to help them understand what it is I will do (that is if they seem to be interested).
From now on, with each post, I will try to do some explaining of the "how I did this" and "why I did that" when I make a repair.
First, let's get rid of this one right away.
Dents do not just "pop" out like magic.
Over the years I have completed literally 10's of thousands of individual dent repairs and of those only about half a dozen or so have just completely popped out. It's rare.
Yes you can use a suction of some sort to pull on a dent but don't count on your dent going away completely. And by that I mean to the degree that you would pay for it.
Usually when I do it there is still some of the dent left to be worked on to finish the job.
Also you must be careful that when you pull on the dent that it does not wrinkle the metal. If that happens it can make things alot more difficult. Sometimes I am working a dent and it seems like it wants to just pop out but, given the shape or location, I have to resist that until the right time during the repair process.
I hope that these posts will give you, the customer, a better understanding of the PaintFree Dent Repair process.
And I hope they will help you PDR technicians, that are looking for more information, provide better repairs.
