PDR Paintless Dent Repairs Shrewsbury

Providing there is access to the rear of the dent, most PDR technicians prefer to use rods to remove the dent.

The way this is carried out uses a 'rod' with a special & appropriate sized/shaped tip on to lever the dent out.

First aceess to the back of the dent is established, which could be down a window appature if it's a dented door, or though a light on a wing dent or dented quarter panel, etc.

Next a board with parallel lines marked on it is placed in front of the dent & the reflection from it is used.

The technician then places the tip of the rod on the back of the dent using the reflection on the board to help identify where the rod tip is & how hard to push the metal to get it back to it's original position.

The area pushed by the tip is usually very small, so the dent area has to be workedaround the dent very carefully to achieve an invisible repair.

If there is no access to the rear of the dent, another possible method is using glue pulling, although this is usually only suitable for smaller shallow 'ding' dents.

An appropriately sized/shaped 'tab' is glued to the painted side of the dent using special hot melt glue & left to cool.

The tab/dent is then pulled using a slide hammer to lift the metal usually higher than the original position.

Using a special polypropolene tap down tool & lightweight hammer, the raised metal is then tapped down to the correct level & shape, again using the line board to check
