Super happy Mercedes-Benz AMG dent repair testimonial
We repaired 2 deep dents in the aluminum hood of a Mercedes-Benz E63. The owner of this car drove 2 hours from southern Maryland to see if we could remove his dents. Three other dent repair companies turned down the job, because they were not confident they could deliver a good result. The owner of the car was adamant about not getting a conventional body shop repair and repainting the hood. He truly loved this car, and knew that silver is a very hard color to match. He was also aware that once a car is repainted, it loses value. A few factors contributed to a very challenging paintless dent repair.
Aluminum is a more challenging metal to work with. It is more rigid than steel. It also does not have a “memory.” When working with steel, it feels like it wants to return to its original stamped shape. Aluminum on the other hand has to be forced back into place. Aluminum requires sharper tools and stronger pushes.
The dents were on a concave area of the hood. The reverse bend makes for an even more rigid area. The combination of aluminum and the curve made it very hard to move the deep dents.
These dents were deep. When a car gets hit hard enough to cause a sharp point, the metal stretches out a little bit. Now we have more surface area than prior to the impact. Skilled PDR techs can use a shrinking technique with very sharp tools. Shrinking metal is very challenging, especially on aluminum.
Metallic silver paint is not forgiving. When a paintless dent repair technician uses very sharp tools, there is a chance that the paint can be poked or cracked. When silver paint is poked too high, the metallic flake slightly rearranges and shows discolored dots in the repair area. We took our time and avoided such discoloration.
After a long and challenging repair Dent Hero delivered amazing results. Watch the video below to see the customer’s reaction.
