Hey it's David from the redneck garage whew another new project I was on the internet
the other day and I was watching video on YouTube and it was a couple things that I
thought I'm going to share those thoughts with you in just a moment but first I'm going
to open up this box and show you what I received this is part of the project ok I was watching
the video the other day on paintless dent repair PDR is what they call it and first
of all I thought that a lot of the guys doing it we're really just trying to sell till so
they weren't real helpful on how the procedures where to do it unless you bought the whole
project of junk so anyway I spent about 250 bucks on one kid and another 50 probably 50
bucks so 300 bucks MN paintless dent repair now so let me tell you I am a bondo guy I
like painting and refinishing but if there is a way to take out a dent without having
to repaint I'm all about having to figure that out how to do it over 300 bucks I figure
I can get this go sit on the redneck garage and figure out what's going on with it take
all this junk out okay so I got everything I ordered off of ebay for my paintless dent
repair now for all the stuff I spend about 300 bucks and there's a lot more expensive
stuff out there I promise you man I saw some kids they were like $1,200 $1,500 you know
going up from there it's just a rip off but I did see some pretty cool videos now most
of the videos I saw on eBay where hey look at this I'm going to sell you this or you
need this or that the instructional videos were really just a snake in the grass.
Let me try to sell you something these paintless dent repair tools so that's not what we're
going to do here on the redneck garage what we are going to do is discuss the tools that
I've got and how they can benefit you maybe your grandma has a ding in her car or you
get some hell damage or you need to pull out a dent when you're doing body work and you
don't want to put a hole in it sometimes it's beneficial like so you don't have to grind
out as much anyway I thought it would be cool to have the tools cuz their tools and you
can never go wrong having more tools so let's go through what I got like I said I've got
about $300 worth and that is on the very low end of the pricing of the kids so I'm going
to go over it first thing you need is the glue gun this glue gun is bigger than say
the little hobby ones you see in the stores so that's pretty cool Ford wants so it's not
a killer but it's bigger than the little bitty ones then so that's that we got glue supposedly
one of these is cold weather glue and one of these is how are there glue now your guess
is as good as mine because they don't send instructions with nothing but you can see
just stick that in the glue gun I'll figure it out I guess going down the road which ones
stronger and which ones weaker that's a clue okay this is called a tap down tool when you
plant a dent in your doing paintless using any of these tools when you pull out with
Luke it leaves a hotspot so you take this write the little nudge tool and your light
hammer this is a really light hammer and its got like some rubber ends on it it came with
a couple different ends lighter so we have a hammer right you got to have that so anyway
you would take this step down tool just go around the high spots very lightly on your
din and once you get those down you might have to pull it out again you might not but
that's what this is for supposed to keep from marring up the paint and everything else very
cool alright especially part of this whole thing are your glutes tabs and these are glue
tabs that's what they look like there's little bitty ones there's big ones there's medium
there's medium sized ones okay you see that and those are used for different sizes of
dense if you've got a really big dent you use the big one if you've got this little
bit decrease you're trying to pull out the middle of you'd use this little things one
and basically and I'm going to demonstrate it on the next video but I'm just trying to
get you going alright come on don't be complaining laugh I'll put glue all over the top of it
and you're going to stick it on wherever your dinner is okay so you have your glute abs
now to pull on the glue tabs to pull out on it you're going to need a couple tools now
this is what we call a dent lifter if you can see that right and you can see it's got
a knob on the top and it's got a slot in here and you would put that on a car and just pull
like this and eventually that glue is going to let loose and it will pop and at that point
it's pulled up whatever you're pulling up right so you have an adjustment here to tighten
it up so there's no play in it while you're pulling so that's called the dent lifter so
that's pretty cool for like hail damage and anything like that then we got this one right
and it's a slide hammer it's also just at bar so if your just pulling out you could
use this one this tea bar you know to pull out tab back on it and that's going to pull
on the plastic eventually the Glee will pop out and then they sent one more which is the
slide hammer and this one is supposed to be a little bit lighter than the other one and
Scott grooves so you can get pretty good control over it that's a slide hammer for pulling
out on the glue tabs everything you pull on is a glue tab itself ok one thing it didn't
come with was some isopropyl alcohol I bought this at our local Kroger jerry can buy it
tell you where to buy it in Canada because he's the Canadian guru this is just spray
alcohol to take off the glue residue so when you get to that point you spray alcohol on
it and this glue is designed to dissolve for the alcohol to dissolve it and this is a scraper
it is a very sharp plastic scraper so you don't take the paint off and you let it sit
there for a minute then you just carefully push the glue off residue right then you take
a rag and wipe it down and it will come down so that is is going to be that is the paintless
dent repair tool kit that I purchased and we're going to try it out okay so basically
you take your glue gun and you liberally apply the glue to the poor tab Bryant then we're
going to put it right here K and you let that drive a little bit and you let it cool off
and as its cooling off you can kind of take your finger and touch it around the edge and
when it quits pulling with your finger that gooey stuff then you know it is ready to pull
so we're just waiting it's kind of chilly out tonight shouldn't take long for it to
cool down I'm going to use my handy dandy ride like this if it's just a ding or a dent
or a little hail damage then you could use that little Poland but but this is a bigger
piece so we're going to do it like this but this is just an example we're going to be
going through the redneck girl Raj a couple of different ways to use these tools how to
use them I just want to show you that I got them in stock because you know if you get
a new tool you want to play with it right okay cool you can tell that it is glued on
with no hole you can see where I drill holes and used a regular puller we're going to see
if these actually do indeed pull out the metal and I can see pulling you can see with a crease
is right here so you probably want to use a smaller 1 in that crease okay I'm going
to spray a little alcohol on this and the glue should start to dissolve which it is
ok and the glue is off then we're going to just wipe it off and get all the residue off
okay I switched over to the clear glue to see if it's stronger than the black orange
black and stronger and I'll let you know which one is actually better but I'm going to just
put a little pressure on this and black black is the stronger haha ok so that's going to
be it tonight this is just a quick demonstration spray your alcohol on it let it sit for a
minute and then take your little scraper pop it off and then you're going to wipe it down
so with the paintless dent repair you can see that I've got his dent here right in that
metal I'm going to work on it and see how it comes out you can see where the crease
is and we're going to see how it comes out after working on it for about an hour okay
so about an hour later you can see where hahahaha this is the other side it still looks as bad
as it ever did on the other side but I thought that would be funny okay that's our first
video on paintless dent repair you can see that I've got about $300 of tools that I have
purchased which is going to be on the low side of what you need to be able to do it
I can tell you that the temperature is going to play a part in it because you've got glue
that you are putting on a car to try to pull a dent out and if it's really cold it's going
to affect it but I'm kind of excited about seeing what we can do with this if we can
pull out small dings and dents without having to repaint the car so those are going to be
coming up weather permitting I guess but I was just thinking that having paintless dent
repair in my arsenal of tricks and the redneck garage would be pretty cool to be able to
pull out a ding or a dent or hail damage or or you know actually play around with a crease
before he grinded off and put bondo in it never know what you do know is that we are
going to be doing it step by step together and you're going to learn right beside me
on how this stuff works and what's good and what's bad and maybe you can spend 300 bucks
or you might say that's not worth it for me cuz the redneck garage is looking out for
you I'm David from the redneck garage let's pull out some dents and keep turning wrenches
