This video is an introduction to the use of Polished Hammers and Dollies for Paintless Dent Repair and Auto Body techs. NOTE: at the 3 minute mark we resume the video after repositioning the reflection and I lost 3 minutes worth of camera footage because I forgot to turn camera back on. So some of the crown work is missing and dent looks suddenly better after that point. I was going to scrap the video but decided to put it up because the rest of the content was very informative.

I'm 66 and still learning. I'm heading out to buy a dolly and hammer because I have a lot of time and cars I can practice on, and maybe enjoy a new skill/hobby along the way. Thanks!

I called a PDR guy in my town with a very similar dent, right on my wheel well. He tried to pull it and made a couple new wrinkles then said that's as good as it gets. Seeing this technique I fairly confident that I can improve on his work. Thanks for showing this.

Amazing how taking that crease out, popped the dent out. Highs then lows. Great way to remember. Thanks.

Excellent explanation on your process all the way through. I've been in the industry for over a decade and have a full set of body hammers and dollys but get them out infrequently. This was a great refresher.

I've been fixing dings in fiberglass for decades, but never knew how they were fixed on metal. This is a rabbit hole! I'm going to buy a bunch of tools now.

I learned alot watching this. In my inexperience I would just put a dolly behind it and smack the crap out of it until it was smooth-ish. You were barely tapping that hammer and it came out and that crisp body line also. Blew my mind. And I never heard of a polished hammer. I'll look into buying one now. Thank you!
