hello world PTR coming at you here with a I think it's a 2017 or a 16 f250
really nice truck with a large dam now this thing actually had something
scraped down the side of it we're focused mainly on right here I might do
a couple of loopholes on this one at the end but yeah this is a large and in
charge dent I gained access by just taking out one two three four of those
little screws pulled this mat down a little a little bit and I've got it
I wouldn't say nice and warm 115 116 right now you're gonna get it a little
bit warmer and I might even try to do the common sense thing a little bit on
this right from the start just put my whole hand in here and just
kind of feel how hot it is I got my thumb right up here and I'm just kind of
knuckling it a little bit okay so I moved some metal
there's some browse there um it is nice and warm I'm going to turn this down a
little bit and I think what I want to do
nice little our 34 tip and look right into this dent and basically give it
some real nice pushes to kind of I'm gonna come from this side actually and
just bring it all the way in and I'm almost following that scratch mark
because that's where the impact was made I'm kind of right there on it and I
don't want to wrinkle it like that but I do want to get that meat out as we call
it so at this point in the videos when I I say I sure do appreciate everybody
that clicks on this video I really do you guys don't mind hitting that
subscribe button welcome to the family yeah this is a
large dent guys this is a large collision style dent but we're gonna do
our best to get it to that 90 to 95 percent mark customers well aware that
it's not going to be a hundred percent and with the little scratches and stuff
on the paint I'm not planning on doing any wet sand and
polishing I'm just gonna do polishing by hand like is my norm if somebody wants
to take it to a professional detailer and they want to do that professional
wet sand and polish over the whole side of where this scuff mark was they they
can do that my thing is just the dance and now I want to change my angle a
little bit kind of like that I'm working right around here and I don't really
have a fulcrum I'm using the back or my hand I'm just I'm just holding onto that
tool and kind of pushing off my hand so not a lot of pressure but we're getting
the majority of that dance out and this one will take some time guys I know it
looked like a lot of it came out real quick but it's gonna take a lot of time
to finish this one off a little bit of brow not a lot of time a little bit of
brow there and then work this area get give himself some crossed angles let's
check this out let's go put the board way out see you know how we are we're
nice and warm with that low setting oh by the way guys this is the get a grip
arm they call it the strong arm XL and we
let's take a look at what we see here yeah this strong-arm works great holds
super nice and I will mention this guys this is not you know one could call it
sponsored video but I will say that the guy map that that sells these is having
a sale just until the end of the summer so if you do want 20% off it's not
through me or anything you can't say you know PDR told me it has nothing to do
with me but he is offering I'm 20% off for the next I think
rest of the summer so super nice tools so far it's not raining on me it's not
raining outside but I just put it up in case it does start ran or in case the
Sun breaks through the clouds and get super sunny on me
so what I'm gonna do guys a good angle there we go
I'm gonna do some caps take some of these brows down and I don't know if
we're gonna super speed the rest of this and I still don't excuse me I still see
a little line right there it needs a little bit more buffing also but I don't
know if we'll super speed the rest of this one but I know that we will come
back and show you the end result when we get o buttoned up and this thing I'll
put it back together but we might do a little super speed and have you guys
staying in it
okay guys we're back we're doing some finished work here we probably had some
speedy footage this one is definitely a bear this was a lot of dent it was a big
struggle oh and so yeah I've got the heat gun on
it on the slow setting this strong arm XL is beautiful it works great I can
just move it around if I want it's really slightly and have it you know
tighten it up to the point that it doesn't move anymore and that is a neat
thing the umbrella has been handy today not like I've needed it but I think I'm
gonna put it up just like I do with the heat gun on every job why not and so
basically what we've got is we got this line recreated and then I've got a
couple little high spots through the middle here and I'm still trying to
basically even them out with my pushes using that same soft tip I did use
Bertha for a while but I've been I've been actually doing the finished work
with this thing so now I think I've got about you know a good 15 or 20 little
pushes to make come up through this line straighten it out a little bit and this
customers well aware that it's not going to be a hundred percent but I think
pretty darn good for what we're looking at and we look at it to a different
angle yeah I can still come up here and work this last little line right
here just up there I'm gonna make sure this is really tight I do need to get
those little plaster rubber o-rings you put around that thing to secure it and
if you see while I'm doing it I'm kind of putting the tool in there finding it
with my finger right behind the middle and then I'm actually using my me to
make the push leaning into my tool and I'm coming down this line and just it
just gives me a little bit more leverage so I don't work my arm out
and I think we're taking this up pretty nice let's start putting it back
together let's take a look at it without any light turn the light off turn the
heater off and then I could just go like that to get out of the way
take that back up yeah that stuff is always gonna be there and I have told
him yeah he could get it professionally wet sanded and polished but we even got
some of this line out let's give it one more little quick polish just to see if
any more of that stuff will come out because it's flat a lot of the times
when you have a dance and you try to polish it I'm sure that somebody looked
at this video and saw me working on it will it still had that scuff and you're
like why is he working on it with a scuff on it well you got to get it flat
before you can buff it because that scuff is dented it's kind of tough to
dig in there with your rag those little things what is that is that just a
little chip in the paint probably um this is a work truck tonight's work
truck but it is a work truck so we're just doing our best to kind of band-aid
this situation and I think this looks pretty good I'm gonna start putting it
together and the way I took this apart and put it together was uh pretty nice
and easy why he's got the four bolts right here
I basically just folded it behind this this edge here and hold it out and this
is a just in case anybody's wondering what it is it is a
5/32 I think I don't know I know it's an American it's not a millimeter socket
not a specific millimeter so it is uh I think it's 5/32 it's a little tiny guy
and I'll just find my first one this one will fit just fine
damn and so we will say a couple things I sure want to say thanks to all the new
subs who really appreciate you if you haven't hit that sub button make sure
you do could always click that notification bill and then you'll be
notified every time we go live or make a new video we actually haven't gone live
yet just thinking about it thinking about maybe doing a live stream when I
have a long gap like this to do that would be a couple of hours and I did
spend a couple hours on this one guys I've I would probably say front to back
about two two and a half hours on this one
not an easy dent at all by any means and you know the outcome came out alright
the stuff is always gonna bug me but that's just kind of something you know
and I know there's a lot of people that do the wet sand and polish and I've
never personally ruined a car by doing that but having that big 3,000 rpm
machine it just it gets dicey you know it tears
off emblems and you can actually have some serious accidents with them if you
caught that poured wrap it around that thing and it can actually break your arm
I've heard some nasty stories about those things and it's not that I'm
scared of it or anything it's just not my service I do the dance and
I think professional detail shops charge quite a bit to do a wet sand and polish
I don't know just on one little tiny area if they'll even do it but I know on
a whole entire car they charge quite a bit and for those picky people who like
their paint looking really flat so
that's the last one let me get just to adjust this one in by hand and then zip
them all up real nice I thought we'd keep you in for the replacement there's
an R&R aspect to this business guys we're it's called removal and
replacement a lot of times you have to take off an inner liner maybe a door
panel maybe the back piece of a deck lid you know any of those plastic inner
pieces little things that you got to take off and put back together you just
got to always remember where you put everything you try to keep it in a
uniform fashion like anytime a customer always gives me my their keys if I'm on
somewhere that's really secure I'll put them right here right on the front
windshield wiper and if I'm not I'll put them in my bag in a specific pocket it's
only for customers keys so on that note guys let's just pop this thing off I'll
show you how to do this it has two little nubs one on each side and when
you put this thing on you go to punch it like 10 or 15 times okay so then you
pull that off super secure we can go boom boom boom
and just kind of loosen them up so they so they movie movie a little bit like
that and then when you want it to get to where you want bam bam bam bam and I'm
thinking I'm gonna go like this
I'm thinking I'm gonna go like that like that and then just wrap the cord like a
so as long as it's not still hot which is not so BAM that ended up looking
alright take a quick look at it it's not perfect it's got some waves to it it's
got a little uh a little tug right there in the middle I might even off-camera I
might even spend some time on that but other than that I will probably just
give it a little quick wipe skiing look at it and say the thing oh yeah other
than that look at that thing that thing's awesome haven't needed it yet
but if it starts raining I'm I don't be worried at all so yeah I'll just say the
thing guys this has been PDR and I'm out peace
