PDR (Paintless Dent Repair) – The technique and art of restoring the body dents (dents) up to 3-5 cm in diameter, in which the paint on the body parts of the vehicles is not damaged as a result of external impacts, with special hand tools and without damaging the original paint of the vehicle. is the given name.

Thanks to the PDR technique, the originality of the vehicle is definitely not deteriorated, so the vehicle does not lose value in second-hand sales. In order to get results from the correction process, it is necessary that the hair in the dented area of the body has not grown and the paint has not been damaged. PDR technique is not used for removing dents on sheet metal or aluminum alloy panels that have been previously damaged, corrected and painted.

In such cases, the probability of cracking the putty and paint is very high. In the paintless body dent repair process, the back of the panel with the dent on it is reached with special tools and the dent is corrected with the outward massage method. The rate of reaching the back of the panels of the vehicles produced in the world is 85-90%. Body dents in inaccessible or closed areas (door pillars, side skirts, etc.) can be highly corrected with the "Adhesive Dent Puller" set. However, body dents that cannot be repaired with the “Unpainted Body Dent Repair” technique have to be fixed and painted with traditional methods.
