it didn't work because the dent is creased. If it was just a dent, and not creased, it would work perfect. It worked perfect for a dent in my 2000 camaro z28 on the passenger quarter panel.
the only way this could happen is if you got it really hot, so hot that it turns red, and then cooled it off with the spray can. I would remove the dent, but you'd have burns and melting, chipping paint. So its not worth it.
@herbienbrian you are among the general public it seems. there are tools called body hammers and dollys for dent removal, not a ball pien hammer. if you used a ball pien on it it would look like a mountain range and youd have an inch of filler on it. get it as straight as possible with a body hammer/dolly and finish it with minimal filler.
lol all the guys that comment on these videos that apperently pop dents for a living, go get fucked lol what kind of job is that, oh no it hailed i better go to frank the dent popper, fuck you have fun making 20k a year
Save you money and take it to a good PDR tech. You can't shrink metal with a heat gun you have to get it much hotter than what the paint will survive.
there are some tricks to make this happen. 1 face the car toward the sun. (you need all the heat you can get) 2-heat the entire area evenly. 3-cool entire area quickly
on top of all of these tricks, yes a crease does cause problems as well as the area and shape that it should have been in. your dent is in a bad place and with the crease your odds are better physically pushing it out from the inside (this is not that hard either but will not look perfect with out the body work and repainting.
heating metal weakens it. common sense there. When it is more maluable it can be cooled to contract to a particular form. in the case of a cars dents can contract to the shape it started as being as it has the support from the rest of the metal around it's shape. Doesnt matter how long youve owned a shop or anything, you cant change chemical properties smartasses.
dude just take ur tail lite off and then find a hole where the tail light was and stick a long metal in there then push the dent out...dude just ask me...im bad ass!!!
Heat works, but this dent is structural dammage. That edge where the bumper connects to the quarter panel, and the tail light area where it connects to the quarter panel is at least two layers of metal and the inner portions is high strength steal. The heat trick only works on thin sheet metal. Not hard to understand.
i have seen videos where this worked, the only difference was they didnt have crease dents. i can see around four, you should heat up the crease area's and tap them out then try again. im going to try it on my gas tank on my motorcycle
If all these dents were that easy to remove yourself, the body shops would all be closed! Same with the dry ice theory, it might work now and then, but not very often.
Shows what you know rimrod! I am the owner of a body shop, dip stick! Been in business for more than 27 years! When the PDR guys can't fix it, they come running to me. As I mentioned, if all the dents were that easy to fix, body shops would be out of business.
Yeah ok college boy...your in college to learn, and I recommend you stay there, Mr graphics designer, web designer, self made businessman, etc. Ignorance is not knowing, and your right there!
yes ur right if dents an shit was this easy to fix no one would ever bring their vehicle to a body shop.. lol an i kno this ive been around cars and dents for forever and im in school right now for auto body collision repair
yeah, cuz a coupla hundred dollars in labour is a WAY better option then buying a $20 dent repair kit that's identical to what the body shop would use.
@IntrebuloN a $20 dollar kit thats identical to what a bodyshop uses?!?!?!?!?! really??? apparently you've never actually been inside a shop and seen what they done and how its done...or havent actually priced REAL pdr tools...dont make ridiculous remarks if you know nothing about the trade... i do pdr along with bodywork and spray as well....im not a youtube dipshit that knows everything
This is just a suggestion, but try heating the whole dent but more on the high part of the crease. Then only put the CO2 on the crease, where it's higher...
The dent must not be near creases or edges. Only flat or somewhat flat areas. Dents too small may not be affected and dents too deep may not either. It only works when done properly and on certain types of dents. Looking at the dent I could tell right away it wasn't going to work.
~You actually might have it TOO hot, most vids about it use a hair dryer (not heat gun) for a short amount of time, so the Liquid CO2 might be vaporizing too quickly
~You might use a dent removing kit if you still cant get it out
Your dent is also rather large and in a corner so you might have a problem with both methods i stated above.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
stupid Americans, this is a method that works but the dent can not be beaten in, it must bee the result of a high heat at the plate so that it expands, this is shrinking the plate again, which takes away the dent ...
Well if I have to be honest, I must reluctantly admit that I was wrong, I tested this on a buckle that I had on my car because I welded on it, and it did not work on that either. so I have to say I apologize for the comments ... apologize accepted?
LOL, Im ignorant? The first letter after any form of punctuation that denotes the end of a phrase, sentence, or question should be capitalized, obviously you do not understand even how proper English works, much less having the ability to comprehend that the first comment I posted said "created" not built, "created". The idea of such a machine or its conception denotes creation. You stupid, stupid, stupid, laughably ignorant dimwitted fuck. HAH, moron.
Why does it always have to be STUPID AMERICANS? I'm American and I do Paintless Dent Repair and the way you're describing is wrong too. We use metal rods to fix dents, not hot and cold. Should we now start calling Swede's stupid now?
Toyota wasnt in business in the beginning of the 1900s, neither was Mercedes, so... CARS... CARS. CARS... Not a horseless buggy, not a motorized scooter. CAR -- American.Because I said so.
@ozzpimp wow your so right, any other elements of history youd care to rewrite for us? mercedes was in business in the late 1800's moron, so was renault. because history and fact say so.
the dent could just be too deep... i think this only works on shallow minor dents that can be popped easily... when you do this you rely on the cold causing the metal to contract and expand again popping it out. or maybe you had the dent for too long.. hehe
The dent is actually under the bumper - it can't get to that - and the material is not metal - so it is not the same thing - i don't really care but the thing is plastic - not metal - the bumper i mean
try when you get a body hammer, bondo, grinder, snatch bar, sanding blocks, ETC. That is how you do it the right way. all that TV dent removal is garbage and the dent WILL come back IF they do get it to go away.
man so i have mazda mx6 to and some crazy ho as i was tell her boyfriend that he was a sob she thought to kick my car two times how dare her got most of the dent out it was one of those hit and and it came out dents but can still See little bend going to try the ice thing and when i got my car it had a scratch in the same spot as your dent
Problem number one is that the dent is huge , number 2 the edge of your body panel where it meets the tail light is extremely strong because of the bend in it. This method will work on small dents and maybe some larger ones that are not so close the folds in the body panels , there is a similar dry ice method. Personally i would take a hammer to it , bondo then send it off to get paint :)
i had the same thing happen to my spyder eclipse at the same spot just on passanger side. I just stuck a long metal stick in there and massaged the bumper until it straightened out. Although then i figured it would of cost me 80 dollars to fix-not that much.
IT doesn't work on ALL dents... It has to be a uniform dent. You could get that dent fixed from somewhere like dent wizard for 100 bucks. I had a similar dent in my car, and that's what it cost me...
First of all, the panel is FAR too hot. Looking at your replies, it seems you live in SoCal as well, so the ambient temperature of the panel (especially out in the sunlight) is probably more than enough. The metal needs to be warm to the touch, or lukewarm, so to speak. Then you'll notice that the Co2 solidifies on the metal straight away and does not instantly vapourise. From physics we know that the temperature of the metal falls during evaporation..
Try it yourself, grab some rubbing alcohol and put some on the back of your hand. As it evaporates, it takes heat energy from your skin and uses it to break bonds in the liquid alcohol, turning it to gas + subsequently cooling your skin! Try this on your car on a cooler day (or morning, or something) and don't fry it with the heat gun. The metal will reach FAR lower temperatures if a LARGE area is covered with frozen Co2, and is left to evaporate by itself.
If the metal has a crease or if you can tell the matel already has the dent formed into the metal it won't pop out. Its just the characteristics of metal. The instruction video was done on a slight dent with a big surface area and if you look carefully you could of just pounded it from the other side. funny
It should work - maybe not. Try following the instructions on that video... use a hairdryer for 30 seconds to a minute and spray a larger area with the CO2.
The heat gun may soften your paint and any bondo that may be underneath - you bought the car used didn't you? You may not know what's underneath.
Better not try this on bondo or an area with non-factory material or your gonna be a little pist. Your material will heat, expand and shrink with the temperature change. You'll have nice cracked textured paint that is if the bondo doesn't fall off.
i think you put a little too much heat because your only suppost to heat it with a hair dryer and for like 20 seconds and it has to foarm ice yo make the reaction of the two, try it with less heat ;]
LOL you dumb bitch, the dent cannot have a crease. How the hell do you expect it to pop out that. This trick works on shopping cart dents, and hail damage. DOOUCCCHEEE
I'm so honored you guys actually think I care. What are the opening lines? Ummm... I was bored. Holy crap, I just did this cause I had nothing better to do, and it couldn't have hurt to try.
The reason it didn't work is because that part of the quarter panel is very stront and you'll notice the dent is in a rolled part of the panel. No way even a PDR person would get that out. Any PDR tech worth is salt would tell you that's not coming out. I've been in the collision business for 25 years. PDR is for small dings and dents in areas where the metal is flexible, not stiff areas such as this quarter panel.
The metal hasn't memorized anything. The metal was instantly stretched when it was dented. You'd have to shrink that down with a torch and body tools.
The only slightest reason this might work, if a dent was ready to pop back out with little or no help at all in the first place. PDR is the only true answer for the best results. I do like you did a video about the truth to this so called dent repair method but more like myth. Thanks for sharing.
its a 2 hour dent, and PDR probadly pull it out, but standard shop would weld on pull studs pull out the dent flush with the body, use small amount, filler , and paint. PDR is great technology saves on that alone
If it was so easy, PDR guys wouldn't be in business...and guess what....
They're still in business.
The bodylines and the crease will reinforce the metal. You have to know about a little thing called "Metalergy" in order to successfully remove dents...
Might try a glue puller, if you're trying to save the paint. There are lots of videos on here for those, and Harbor Freight is a cheap place to buy body tools you only plan to use a coupla times.
Unfortunately, crease or not, the dent will not come out using this method, I have a jeep cherokee with a number of dents of different sizes and shapes, I tried this method on all with no success.
you got it right. because of that crease, the metal is not going to give in the opposite direction. that's not a dent, that's straight up body damage.
time wont let him go back to keep himself from buying a piece of shit car with a colossal dent in the rear

Try this on your car on a cooler day (or morning, or something) and don't fry it with the heat gun. The metal will reach FAR lower temperatures if a LARGE area is covered with frozen Co2, and is left to evaporate by itself.

If the metal has a crease or if you can tell the matel already has the dent formed into the metal it won't pop out. Its just the characteristics of metal. The instruction video was done on a slight dent with a big surface area and if you look carefully you could of just pounded it from the other side. funny

Do you work in SoCal? And will you do it for free? Otherwise, I can live with it.

Can you fix mine too?

It should work - maybe not. Try following the instructions on that video... use a hairdryer for 30 seconds to a minute and spray a larger area with the CO2.
The heat gun may soften your paint and any bondo that may be underneath - you bought the car used didn't you? You may not know what's underneath.
Best of luck on your next attempt.

Better not try this on bondo or an area with non-factory material or your gonna be a little pist. Your material will heat, expand and shrink with the temperature change. You'll have nice cracked textured paint that is if the bondo doesn't fall off.

your retarded if you ever thought that was gonna work on that dent. theres no well in hell this technique works with creases
pauliscool2991 4 years ago
i think you put a little too much heat because your only suppost to heat it with a hair dryer and for like 20 seconds and it has to foarm ice yo make the reaction of the two, try it with less heat ;]

LOL you dumb bitch, the dent cannot have a crease. How the hell do you expect it to pop out that. This trick works on shopping cart dents, and hail damage. DOOUCCCHEEE

I'm so honored you guys actually think I care. What are the opening lines? Ummm... I was bored. Holy crap, I just did this cause I had nothing better to do, and it couldn't have hurt to try.

The reason it didn't work is because that part of the quarter panel is very stront and you'll notice the dent is in a rolled part of the panel. No way even a PDR person would get that out. Any PDR tech worth is salt would tell you that's not coming out. I've been in the collision business for 25 years. PDR is for small dings and dents in areas where the metal is flexible, not stiff areas such as this quarter panel.

The metal hasn't memorized anything. The metal was instantly stretched when it was dented. You'd have to shrink that down with a torch and body tools.

The only slightest reason this might work, if a dent was ready to pop back out with little or no help at all in the first place. PDR is the only true answer for the best results. I do like you did a video about the truth to this so called dent repair method but more like myth. Thanks for sharing.

only works on certain types of dents. a crease like that requires a unispotter and a slide hammer. like gizmosells said.
kgiynmgs 4 years ago
its a 2 hour dent, and PDR probadly pull it out, but standard shop would weld on pull studs pull out the dent flush with the body, use small amount, filler , and paint. PDR is great technology saves on that alone

hahaahahahahaha...
If it was so easy, PDR guys wouldn't be in business...and guess what....
They're still in business.
The bodylines and the crease will reinforce the metal. You have to know about a little thing called "Metalergy" in order to successfully remove dents...

I've been certified in PDR for the past 6 years....and it took me a good constant year to even get decent at the skill/art.
It's definately not something just anyone can do.

Might try a glue puller, if you're trying to save the paint. There are lots of videos on here for those, and Harbor Freight is a cheap place to buy body tools you only plan to use a coupla times.

Unfortunately, crease or not, the dent will not come out using this method, I have a jeep cherokee with a number of dents of different sizes and shapes, I tried this method on all with no success.

Yup - it's ona crease that's why.
TheTwinTowers 4 years ago
you got it right. because of that crease, the metal is not going to give in the opposite direction. that's not a dent, that's straight up body damage.
