Thanks so much for your comment and for keeping it positive..I appreciate ya brotha

@@StoneyRidgeFarmer I understand you're just having a go for fun and that's all good. The issue is 'customers' watch these videos, and start thing "well all you gotta do is glue one of those suction things and foooomp! Out it comes". The last few years, we keep getting people trying to tell us how easy it is, or that they got most of it out for us but can't get the last little bit. Again that's not your fault, but sometimes KZfaq is a curse for us.

@@XSAoRAD exactly. The most annoying thing is having to repair people issues after they mangle a dent. Or sometimes pull the paint which means a respray in some instances. These kits are dumb. As for that dent in the video. It's definitely volcanoed and there really wasnt much progress from the first pull as is expected if you don't know what you're doing. This kit is only worth it if you don't care about your car and it's and old bomb that you just want to improve a little bit

@hikaruichicho9054 3 жыл бұрын

Another PDR tech here. I do have to agree with the other comments in that this tool gives a false sense of ease that can get a lot of people in trouble. Almost always when I glue pull something it leaves the dent high. and unless you know how to "knock" the dent back down flat you almost always end up with a half high, half low mangled mess. Sometimes you can't fix that kind of stuff either. So i guess if you're bored and have $60 and a few hours to spend starting a skill that takes years to develop on your ride of unknown value, then more power to ya, just don't be mad when the pdr guy charges you more to fix your mistakes, if he can.

Nice video, thanks for sharing. Try using 99% rubbing alcohol to make the glue release without using the plastic chisel; also, push the tabs and hot glue into the finish a little more to get a more solid connection between the gripper/slide hammer and the ding you're pulling on. For large dents, get a cheap football, air wedge, basketball or beachball, and push them behind the dent when deflated, then use air pressure to push the metal out, preferable when the metal is heated up a little by the sun or a heat gun. The cheaper balls and air wedges will explode, so wear eye protection and keep a safe distance, but the metal will move. It's also a lot of fun! Good Luck!

Evaporatives, specifically isopropyl, is formulated to not damage skin, or in this case the clear automotive coating. So, in theory, yes it can be used in this case because one needs something to remove the glue stick material. Scraping is worse than isopropyl. Does isopropyl damage the clear coat? Technically, yes, because it will dry the clear coat out, reduce the sheen minimally, but still reduce it and also open the crosslinking system in the catalyzed clear coat, thereby compromising the bonding system of the several monomers, in this case polymers. So, yes, all forms of alcohol will degrade the finish, but then the question remains of how to remove the glue stick material. Soap and water alone will not solve the glue stick material due to its paraben nature. Isopropyl is recommended specifically because it is the least invasive to the clear coat.
