In the automotive industry, paintless dent repair is also called PDR. This non-invasive method removes small-medium sized dents and is perfect for fixing body damage when the surface of the paint is still intact. Auto body technicians can use PDR to repair a wide variety of damage in both aluminum and steel body panels.

The main advantages of this technique are that it is quick, effective, and inexpensive in comparison to traditional body repair. It also does not require repainting the car and reduces the chances of damaging the factory paint finish.

PDR can be used to fix shallow dents, even for large dents up to a few inches in diameter, as long as there are no signs of paint damage. The most standard use of PDR involve repairing:

  • Hail damage
  • Gravel, pebbles, and road debris damage
  • Minimal damage caused in minor accidents
  • Door dings
  • Bodylines damage
  • Dents and dings of varying sizes

This dent removal technique can also be used as part of a process called ‘push to paint’ or ‘push to prep.’ In this case, a damaged panel is smoothed out using PDR before it is repainted. This helps decrease the amount of body filler (bondo) needed to make the repair.
