Removing dents with ice?

[BAGGEDCAMRY93]

U can't do it when u have a crease.. it wont work.. it has to be a dent without any creases

[YiuTeub]

PDR is not easy. I did it for a couple years. Problem is access and customers who dont want access holes if needed.

[xGODLYxSKiLLeDx666x]

@YiuTeub hmm

[69homohater]

U didmt use the can upside down thats why it didnt work

[clickydamir]

It's a creased dent douche face. The actual shape of the metal is changed instead of just being inverted. Had it been a dent that left the panel as an inverted form of it's original shape, it would have worked with the hair dryer and the ice. I think someone hasn't done their homework. And you are most likely trying to discourage people from using this technique so that your "Dent Removal" mate has more work.

[russty36]

Rust in 5,4,3.... years

[Azureecosse]

works better on cars with thin steel like Honda or Nissan , german cars have thick gauge steel.

[TheREalData]

the dent ist to small...heat/ice works on bigger dents!!

[Diddds79]

i actually believe the dent man on this 1 i know nothing about dents apart from how to fill it sort of, but to repair a dent with no respray and get it back perfect as if untouched must take a lot of skill i dont care what any1 sez

[LGHNGMN]

this won't work on creased edges

[schlafanzyk]

@LGHNGMN - it does occasionally: watch?v=E2Mn3YWIaCg

my guess is it depends on the thickness and shape of the metal and also how much tension is still left in the dent. I will try this on my car tomorrow (has a similar dent like this mercedes), but since the dent is also pretty old, I am not expecting anything to happen either. if it does though, there is also still a chance that the paint will come off.. i dont care though, im curious

[paxenl]

Glass fiber it works with !!! how many times it still has to be repeated. Guess your just scared to loose your business.

Try a tomtom mount byebye dent

[airbrushler]

they didn't even hardly spray it on the dent if you watch ...idiots

[gadejfan]

He said youchube lol

[jonmns77]

It only works on a dent in the centre of a flat(ish) panel. the crease in the edge of this wheel arch will never go using ice. The ice technique uses the metals "memory".

[RandomGuy215]

Ok first of all, Dry ice will work, just not with Mercedes that happen to be mostly made of FIBER GLASS TO REDUCE WEIGHT! Secondly, it only works for cars with bodies composed of metal. Dry ice contracts the metal back into place if done correctly. And you of all owners should know that mercedes will make their cars as lightweight as possible to increase acceleration and speed.

[DentlessDave]

@RandomGuy215 Uhh...Mercedes are made out of Steel and Aluminum...not Fiberglass....

[caseytbelding]

it would work on a flat part of the car. say if you had a dent on your door, it would work. But you have a crease on the edge of the wheel well. Not gonna move that.

[epicflailguy]

IT DOESNT WORK ON FIBERGLASS YOU FUCKING IDIOTS

[davidguywilson]

Buddy, your dent is hardly noticeable!!

[TheNinja99999999]

It has to be a steel car to work and ur sopose to spray it upsidedown

[rgulley72]

o, and most cars are made of the same metal, just the thickness varies. and did you mess up ur paint? yaaa....

[rgulley72]

congrats on the fail newagainchelmsford...

[mrblockboii]

bro ur dent is not even a noticable

[emopope]

Ya, that dents in a messed up spot. Needs to be on a dent, not a crease like that.

[NikolaAU]

would it work on hail damaged dents?

[Bahzad23]

Hair dryer-$15.

Can of CO2- $4

Messing up your Mercedes........Priceless

[channyboi1191]

@Bahzad23 maby not priceless, like 5000?

[desowell]

i pulled out like some hail dents, and small small creases, but not much more that that. I've used a 4.75 hp shop vac to a plunger end with a hole drilled in it, on to a silicone designed for plugging cracks in shower tile

[glup2glup]

can we do the same on women skin?

[dingmaster88]

it didnt work because heat and cold is not the proper way to remove a dent.......ever

[gepetto22]

Heat gun will get too hot, and damage the paint. He also says in the video that the stuff hes using isnt in fact air duster, but compressed air used to freeze pipes. You have to listen as well as watch.

[Closeoutracer]

The dent in your car is where the wheel lip is

bent or rolledfor strength. Corrugated Barn Metal is wavy or V-shaped for the same reason- strength. The technique works best on the unreinforced sections of the body.. like in the middle of a door.You also didnt' turn the can upside down.. dry ice is also much colder. Do a little more research and pay attention to ALL the directions. You're trying to make money for your body shop by lying about the cold method- which does work.

[kurtschats]

you are supposed to hold the can upside down dumb brit

[novaboy90]

@kurtschats doesnt really look like it matters you prick !!

[kurtschats]

@novaboy90 lol prick?! go drink tea you crooked teeth brit.

[novaboy90]

you sad, fat, American, youll never learn

[dcast1985]

all its doin is shrinking the metal, and i dont think the hair dryer is gonna get it hot enough to do anything.

[87lancerguy]

@dcast1985 I would think an actual heat gun would be much more effective, yes?

[dcast1985]

yea it would be a lot more effective

[andrew0901280]

ive had luck just useing the brick of ice and i have found that it will work on almost any dent as long as its not creasesd.

as for the spray i have never tried it

[BCxxBC]

1. you are supposed to hold the can upside down

2. you sprayed WAYYY too much

3. the dent is on an arch angle so it's going to be hard to pop out

[belleray2]

I heard that if you wound all the windows up and blew really hard up the exhaust pipe,all the dents just popped out.

[Tallerico500]

@belleray2  My girlfriend can probably do it real well then.

[rgulley72]

@belleray2 That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. :D seriously i dont wanna explain this, but if I have to, I will... just please tell me you were kidding

[StarsMarsRadio]

mercedes uses good metal and its in a corner, not in the center of the pannel on a cheap sheet metal car

[Catamountfootball99]

ya i just tried like 10 minutes ago using it on my mercedes and it wouldnt pop

[iuliusceasar]

what is good metal?

[StarsMarsRadio]

thick, stong, and hasn't been recycled/reworked many times before.

[iuliusceasar]

Recycled metal has the same properties and new metal as long as the formula stays the same and its not that hard to recycle metal. Reworking metal can improve some of its properties but many properties are inversely related. "Strong" is not a property of metal.

[iuliusceasar]

CORRECTION: "strength" is a property of metal but it is ambiguous until you specify what type.

[StarsMarsRadio]

No, reworked metal over time looses some of it's strength. Recycled metal can also become less pure making it less strong.

[mypalrocco]

Stupid fucking limey think they're so fucking smart. A) The dent was on a lip of the fender so of course it won't just pop out. B) You sprayed so much fucking freeze spray on it that you killed the heat and thus, killed the contraction effect.

Fucking Brit's think they're so much smarter than Americans!

[checker130]

We would never be so vulgar as to say. However thank you for pointing out what is obvious to the rest of the world.

[gtb393]

I live in the UK where it's hard to find dry ice in small quantities so I bought a can of Niceday air duster on ebay which uses co2 according to some website.

My dent was about handsized, max depth about 1.5cm. 1st I pumped up a small cheap plastic ball behind the dent to fix most of it.

There were still areas of shallow dent, so I then did the hairdryer and upside down air duster. After a minute the rest of the dent popped out. I read it only works with steel so test with a magnet.

[ryanwenz]

the kink prevents it from going away genius

[anxvariety]

Obviously not going to work on that part. You're at a bend and a very thick bend at that.

[moparmusclecars]

if all this was that easy, body shops would be out of business!

[wks1978]

No it doesn't as he is using freezing spray. The can only has to be upside down if you are using an air duster, so that the liquid propellant comes out.

[itsmorethanthat]

I tried it too and it doesn't work

[kiwi4784]

it wont work because it is on the crease of the body panel and to close to the edge

[brandonb006]

i think maybe you used to much co2 spray and you made it too cold, not giving it enough time to contract at a "sweet spot" temp, meh just my 2 cents

[snobum101]

wow try that on a glass bottle...

[alextheromanian]

well i have 2 door dings on my 06 passat..with this method and it didnt work.

[fst06stg]

its true. if you hold an aerisol can upside down, the air coming out gets colder.

[AntyNedza]

idiot ! bottle with compressed air should be upside down !!!!

what a fucking moron

[alextheromanian]

dont be an idiot you can see the spray shooting out liquid ...so it obviousy doesnt need holing upside down.

they usually need to to shoot liquid but this spray doesnt need to be held upside down.

so calm down and stop calling people stupid or morons...and maybe look in a mirror first.

[JT18260]

actually, i've sprayed compressed air like this, and it looks EXACTLY like that when sprayed, however its more thick when turned upside.

[cagonesss]

this method is more for larger dents not small creased dents.for that dent try dry ice maybe itll work a bit,.

[hellonpluto]

Car needs clay barring.

[TheTarrMan]

thats more of a crease.

[djresvon]

hold the can upside down and don`t spray that much, all the heat was gone too fast so no powerful contraction occured..it might not work cuz its not a regular dent, its completely different from what everybody is fixing on youtube...

[brassbend]

Yup, I got the same result this afternoon with dry ice. I didn't scratch the car any but no dents came out at all. I used the sun, a hair dryer and still no results except a cold spot on the car.

[daveandrewcampbell]

There are so many comments made by fools on youtube. No one except the dent removal guy knows what they are talking about. I have been training at this in Canada for several months you would not believe the focus and patience needed to remove the dents to near perfection. It takes a skilled craftsman its an art. The guy in the video is most likely well off too. Anyone who can reach this level of skill is like that of a great golpher ect, he's right.Body shop will bondo,sand,repaint = time/cash

[martinezsix5o]

If you have a fucking mercedez you shouldn't be a cheap ass and take it to the shop anyways.

[koalabear2]

i have a mercedez slk and i do the cheap ass way to. and i am proud

[NewAgainChelmsford]

If you don't wast money on needless repairs, you might be able to afford a Mercedes!

Besides, a paintshop will have to remove the dent anyway!

[GregoryHouseMD1]

@NewAgainChelmsford

Very true :) 

[stubag69]

you didn't hold the can upside down

[NewAgainChelmsford]

...while standing on one leg shouting magical incantations!

Sorry, I couldn't resist!

The can is designed to freeze pipes, while being held the right way up. Holding it upside down wouldn't make any difference.

[jasonism123]

@NewAgainChelmsford why do some people recommend to hold the spray upside down?

[nonpoint1987]

@NewAgainChelmsford yes it would

[Mariemayo1]

@stubag69 yea i was gonna say that. You have to hold it upside down it runs the air duster up, and then down causing it to force the dent out. hold it just right way up runs it straight. And then you sprayed too much. Terribly wrong

[sh1znack]

You have a crease. That's why it didn't completely come out.

[FlawLessCustomz]

DUDE, Of Course Its Still There, You Cant Pull It Out On A Crease Like That!! What Are U Thinking?!? LoL...Nice Try Tho...

[NewAgainChelmsford]

Our dent guy managed to pull it out with no problem!

Besides, we tried this dry ice method on loads of dents... it improved a few, but none were satisfactory.

[thegreat1dev]

what about when it is winter? and when you don't heat it up at all?....so, basically. do it when it's cold outside and without heating up the metal either. also, do it with the CO2 can upside down. Liquid CO2 is a lot colder than gaseous CO2 which is dispensed when the can is held upright. let me know if those tips work for you. thanks

[SilverBoarder312]

thanks, saved me some time :)

[NewAgainChelmsford]

If you look closely at any videos showing the dry ice method, you can see that the dents either aren't completely gone, or you are left with a 'smile', which is a crescent shaped crease that is caused by the dent popping back out. This is fine if you drive an old banger, but if you have a car like the one shown above, you will want it done properly.

[KarthikSoun]

did u ever try spraying that in ur mouth? may be ur cars wont bend if u stop talking so much.. even a professional golfer can take the dent with dry ice.. ahh..
