A carpark incident left regular customer Gabriel's new VW Arteon with a nasty scar on the rear quarter panel.
The new lateral tension tools that seem to be flooding the market at the moment really helped this metal to "flow" back into it's correct position, and made short work of this big hit.

So often we're seeing videos of these tension tools being used to "pop" large damage out, but their correct use is more subtle, and harder to see on video - by adding a small amount of lateral tension across a dent, while continuing to work the dent as you otherwise would, the metal just moves much cleaner and faster than it otherwise would.

Join me as I walk through this repair, discussing the various tools and techniques as I go.
