- DOES DRY ICE WORK? NO! PLACING DRY ICE ON A DENT WILL SHRINK THE
METAL ENOUGH TO REMOVE A DENT IF THE METAL HAS BEEN STRETCHED.
IN CERTAIN INSTANCES, HEATING AND RAPID COOLING OF METAL IS USED
TO SHRINK "OIL CANNED" OR SEVERELY WARPED PANELS BUT THIS
PROCESS USUALLY REQUIRES THOSE PANELS TO BE REPAINTED.
- WILL MY DENTS POP BACK IN EXTREME HEAT OR COLD? NO! THE PDR
PROCESS PERMANENTLY REMOVES THE DENT BY COMPRESSING THE
EFFECTED METAL WITH SLIGHT PUSHES FROM THE UNDERSIDE OF THE
PANEL. IF A REPAIRED DENT DOES NOT POP BACK WITH THE APPLICATION
OF GENTLE PRESSURE; THEN IT WILL NEVER JUST "POP BACK" LATER.
- WHY DON'T I JUST GET THAT "POPS A DENT" KIT AND FIX IT MYSELF? BAD
IDEA! ATTEMPTING TO REPAIR DENTS YOURSELF USUALLY RESULTS IN
MAKING THE DENT HARDER TO REPAIR OR WORSE... IMPOSSIBLE TO
REPAIR.
- CAN'T YOU JUST GLUE SOMETHING TO THE DENT AND POP IT OUT? NOT
THAT EASY! DENTS DON'T TYPICALLY POP BACK OUT. GLUE PULLING IS A
COMMON PRACTICE AMONG DENT-TECNICIANS BUT IT IS A VERY TEDIOUS
TASK; THAT TAKES YEARS OF EXPERIENCE TO PERFECT AND EVEN THEN
USUALLY TAKES 10-20 POPS TO COMPLETELY REMOVE A DENT.
- IF I LEAVE MY CAR IN THE HOT SUN WON'T IT SHRINK MY DENTS OUT? NO!
HEAT AND COLD HAVE VERY LITTLE EFFECT ON THE METAL IN NORMAL
CLIMATES. THE HOT SUN WON'T CAUSE THE METAL TO EXPAND ENOUGH
TO REMOVE MOST DENTS.
- WON'T CLAIMING HAIL DAMAGE ON MY VEHICLE RUIN MY VEHICLE HISTORY
REPORT AND HURT THE VALUE OF MY CAR? NO! MOST MAJOR INSURANCE
COMPANIES ACTUALLY RECOMMEND PDR OVER TRADITIONAL PAINT AND
BODY WORK! AND, SINCE IT IS NOT REPORTED AS A COLLISION, IT IS NOT
USUALLY INCLUDED ON THE VEHICLE HISTORY REPORT.
- AREN'T YOU GUYS SUPPOSED TO FIX ALL THE DENTS ON MY CAR? NOT
ALWAYS! INSURANCE COMPANIES ONLY PAY FOR CLAIM RELATED
DAMAGE. LARGE UNRELATED PRIOR DAMAGE IS USUALLY LEFT
UNTOUCHED AND IS NOT PAID FOR ON HAIL DAMAGE CLAIMS.
