Paintless Dent Removal also known as PDR is the art of removing dents on vehicle panels without damaging the original paintwork. The original factory paint on your vehicle is by far the best paint coat and cannot be replicated. Paintless dent removal is the superior process to restore damaged areas to perfection and maintain your factory paint coat by using specialised tools.
The PDR technique can repair the dent by either pulling or pushing. It is worked from the front, by pulling or the backside of the panel, by pushing, applying the correct pressure massaging back the metal to its original shape. This can be done on both aluminium (alloy) or steel panels leaving no evidence of its previous imperfections.
The most common dents are from parking dents like a trolley or tree branch, but also big dents caused by minor collisions, and all can be re- paired via paintless dent removal technique.
The PDR process can speed up the repair as a small repair can be done during the day and give a better quality finish rather than handing in your car to a conventional smash repair shop. Traditional panels shops, in order to repair your vehicle, have to replace the panel, sometimes by using non genuine ones, or through the application of body fillers and paint. With PDR you will not only save time and money but also main- tain the original paint on your vehicle and help retain the value. By pro- tecting the factory paint on your car you can avoid potential value loss when facing a future resale.
