What is Paintless Dent Removal

Paintless Dent Removal is a repair method that enables the repair of minor dents in vehicle panels of all metal types without the need to repaint the damaged area. Our Paintless Dent Removal process offers huge time and cost savings. It is the most efficient and the most cost effective method of removing hail damage from motor vehicles. Our PDR professionals use specialised hand tools to “massage out” the dents while maintaining the original paint finish of your car.

The key to a successful result is technique rather than brute force. The process does not make use of heat, magnets, suction or any other mechanical equipment. The results are truly amazing.

Paintless Dent Removal has been carried out by vehicle manufactures since the early 1930’s. During the 1970’s and 1980’s new vehicle safety standards meant car panels were thinner and cars dented more easily. Paintless Dent Removal became the time and cost efficient solution.

Paintless Dent Removal has been in Australia since the early 1990’s and we are proud to say we were one of the first to educate the motor industry on the process and advantages.

Hail & Hail Storm Facts

Hail forms in storm clouds when super cooled water droplets freeze on contact with condensation nuclei, such as dust or dirt. The storm’s updraft blows the hailstones to the upper part of the cloud. The updraft dissipates and the hailstones fall down, back into the updraft, and are lifted up again. The hailstone gains an ice layer and grows increasingly larger with each ascent. Once a hailstone becomes too heavy to be supported by the storm’s updraft, it falls from the cloud. In large hailstones, latent heat released by further freezing may melt the outer shell of the hailstone. The hailstone then may undergo ‘wet growth’, where the liquid outer shell collects other smaller hailstones.

Largest hailstone recorded was 20cm x 47.3cm on the 23rd July 2010 at Vivian South Dakota USA.
Heaviest hailstone recorded fell on the 14th of April 1986 in Bangladesh India weighing 1kg the hailstorm reportedly killed 92 people.
Largest piece of ice to fall from the sky was a 6 meter block it fell in Scotland on the 13th of august 1849.
Most costly natural disaster in Australia to date is the Sydney hail storm on the 14^th of April 1999 – $4 billion 296 million
