I saw this on youtube, will this work? has anybody tried it?

 

IDK... was thinking about trying it on my daughters Civic

 

It only sometime works on plastic panels.

 

in the video it says metal, I'll try it on my Ranger tommorow...that thing is full of dents...haha

 

let us know how that goes

 

i got a dent under my kick plate, this'll probably be great for that

 

I just saw another video with hair dryer and compressed air... some jackazz opened there door into mines

 

I wonder if this actually works.

 

There's actually been a few threads on this same subject in the past, but I never really hear of anyone actually doing it and posting results. So be sure to post up results after you try this.... hopefully with some before and after photos.

 

i wonder if the paint would crack off later on in a big chunk.

 

From what I've read it can work but doesn't always depending on the dent.

It would be interesting to see if PDR guys ever use it or have comments.

 

it seems like it will only work on a small crease not a huge dent.

 

sorry fellas, just tried it on 4 cars..including the G..didn't work I'll just take it to the pro's.

 

I've seen this a long time ago... and have tried it myself.

Well, the answer is YES and NO. It will work on the dents on FLAT panels (like hood and doors), but won't work on edged surfaces.

You may also heat up the panels first and use the dust blower by blowing it upside down.


But yeah... don't expect it to REALLY work tho'.

 

yah, im a trained PDR tech and i dont use that technique. one of the
worst things you can do to paint is shock it with abrupt temperature
changes especially when you're forcefully working with thermal
expansion and contraction between different materials.

i use my regular PDR tools. in fact, my dd's been getting hit pretty
often the last few weeks and seems like i need to fix a ding every weekend.
with the nicer weather people get careless... or it might be just that the
economy sucks and people are frustrated.
