[dd] Dentless Dave's Paintless Dent Repair Hail Repair Demo

[JoshHeathMacElvain]

lets see you do that on some early 60s detroit iron.

[DentlessDave]

@JoshHeathMacElvain I work on a lot of vehicles. Probably the earliest vehicle I've worked on so far was a 65 Mustang while I was in Texas. I recently worked on a 94 Ford Bronco hood. The metal was about the same thickness as the Mustang was. The dents came out with just a little more effort than they would if the metal was thinner.

gravey i wish i coulda worked on some damage like that this year lol

[DentlessDave]

@nbkjason The past 2 hail storms in San Antonio have been small.  2005 was the last storm that I recall where we got hail larger than a golf ball. I just got finished with a Toyota Supra last week that had about 300 dents and all were smaller than dimes. Dallas and Austin got some really large hail a year or so ago.

Nice job Dave. Kinda slow though. I also do PDR repair out of Nebraska. Need more hail!!!

[DentlessDave]

@duder888 Yeah, I know it's slow. I wanted to take my time and drag out the video a little. Thanks for checking my video out. Hope business is good in Nebraska for you my friend. I recently relocated back to NC.

[dentjedi]

I wasn't knocking the finished product, the repair looks good. Where are you located Dave?

[DentlessDave]

@dentjedi No worries buddy. I know what you mean. :) I'm in San Antonio, Texas

[dentjedi]

23 pushes before he got anywhere near the center of the first dent. he was wearing that left side out.

[DentlessDave]

@dentjedi. LOL. Yeah I was wearing the mess out of that left side. I really need to record a few new vids of some larger dent repairs. This was my first demo vid so I was just taking it slow and easy on the repair.

[sasoritaiga]

@DentlessDave lock your camera's focus, next time. Just a tip.

[DentlessDave]

@sasoritaiga Yeah, thanks for the tip. :)

Looks a nice repair, I like using lines too. 

[TaxiRabbit]

i had my car done, bloody amazing...make sure all the inside plastic bits are put back correctly though...the bill was $7500...maybe i should do this for a living...

[DentlessDave]

@TaxiRabbit Perhaps I should raise my prices then LOL. I did a Hail Damaged car the other day and only charged 1/3 of that price. His vehicle had a lot of dime sized dents. We use a hail matrix to price any hail repairs. Pricing is based off of quantity and size.

[DentlessDave]

Yeah, Mike. The headliner should be dropped to gain access to roof dents.

[JustMikepow]

do you have to remove the roof panels/ lining if they're roof dents?

[madpuppy100]

Gotta love them line boards!

[scoobyj07]

How would you do it to a part you couldn't get behind?

[DentlessDave]

@scoobyj07 We can usually get behind any panel. We can take off an interior panel or gain access through a window opening if the dent is in a door. If there is still no access, we can generally use a glue puller and a slide hammer to work the dent out.

[wizalan]

lol,,try a big one

[DentlessDave]

@wizalan Take a look at my other vid. There's a nice 17 inch long dent to check out. ;)

[dented81]

get the sanding block out;)

[DentlessDave]

@dented81 I'd suggest you take another look. That's a text book repair on a small hail dent. If you're having to break out the sanding block after you fix a dent, you're probably not starting and finishing it correctly. You could also be using too sharp of a tool with too much force behind your pushes. Thanks for looking though.

Nice work but what's the song?

[ReconExpress]

Lines don't lie!! Looks great from my computer!
