To demonstrate the service Dent Wizard had the confidence to damage its own vehicle on the front offside wing over the wheelarch. The work was evaluated using the hand-held computer; the menu pricing system decided this was £250-worth of damage.
After taking measurements, and downloading the information and picture, the team got to work. Four-star dent specialist Cohn Bowen talked us through his course of action. First, he found its location, then he gauged the shape and depth of the dent, before assessing where he could get access to the damage. In this case the dent, a level two repair, could be reached from a gap between the wing panel and the headlight. It took him just 30 seconds to pop it back out, then another 30 minutes to restore it to its former glory. He was looking for an 'orange peel' finish; to help he produced a board with three black lines on it, to get the dent in line and help restore the profile, returning it to a factory finish.
Colleague Jason De-St-Aubin then got to work on the 120mm scratch. He used a 150 grade disc to rub down the scratch before using a 240 grade to smooth it out. After using the 500 grade disc he was ready to mask up the van and get on with spraying. To blend it he sprayed three-quarters of the panel.
