    I was called in to detail this car after the owner had recently been the victim of a hit and run. He wanted to see what i could do with the front fender damage and various door dings and scratches throughout the vehicle. I called in my dent removal specialist to do his work after i finished detailing and polishing the vehicle so the owner would have a dialed in car when he came to pick it up later in the day.

    Condition when the vehicle was dropped off.

    Pulled the car into the garage and masked off all the spot correction and light scratch removal spots

    I started with the b-pillars first as they were the most hazed, marred and scratched parts on the vehicle

    Demyan from LUX Paintless Dent Removal came by when i was finishing the vehicle up.

    Door dings were "corrected" out then it was time for the major dent to be pounded out.

    As he was working out the dents with various barbells, dumbbells and other various workout devices i haven't seen before i finished the wheels, glass, interior and applied two coats of LSP.

    Now after Demyan finished up his work i pulled the car outside for the final shots.

    Tim -

    Excellent work - it looks better than new!
    I also have a great PDR guy - these guys are just unbelieveable !!

    One question if I may - where he removed that big dent on the body flare crease, what happened to the rest of the crease past the dent, going down to the bottom of that fender?
    Perhaps the lighting was different, but from the pics, it looks like the crease is gone from the dent spot down. Do I need to get new contacts??? :)
