Simply put, PDR or Paintless Dent Repair is the process of removing a dent without the need for body filler or having to re-paint the panel. This is highly beneficial in that the vehicles factory finish is preserved and the vehicles anti-corrosive layers are not removed. PDR is actually a superior repair method when compared to a conventional body shop repair that utilizes studs that are welded to the panel (after the area has been ground free of paint and the factory anti-corrosive layer) or heaven forbid the olden butcherous method of drilling holes and using a screw-in slide hammer to pull the dent out. The actual process used by PDR technicians employs specially designed rods that allow the technician to place pressure on the rear of the panel and slowly release the pressure that is the dent and to shrink stretched metal. There are various methods to accomplish this task and the adaptability used by todays technicians is nothing short of remarkable.
