Not even had the car 2 days and a smallish but very noticeable dent has appeared in the rear nearside door...I'm 99.9% sure it wasn't their when I picked the car up.

Anyone recommend an excellent PDR man to try and pop it out ?

North West - Cheshire, South Manchester area

Ive heard Chipsaway type guys can be so hit n miss so I'm not looking at them...

Thanks 👍

This would make a good thread if it's okay with the OP, good or bad experiences to share.

What about South East? Kent.

Yes, get someone local because they often wont travel far unless you can go to them. Look for recommendations and someone proud to display their work with them in the picture ;)

These PDR guys are magicians.

Hi Andy,

Use Paul Martin, located at the BOC showroom, Manchester Road, Bolton - he's located right next to Porsche Bolton and runs a dent repair clinic every Saturday morning, no appointment needed just turn up. Rest of the time he does PDR for the trade - in fact I know Porsche Bolton use him. Good guy used him several times for different cars. He has done my previous 911, VW Caravelle, Alfa Stelvio, Golf, Nissan Navara from memory.

Thanks for the recommendation...car is booked in with Graham for next Tuesday.

I noticed a Carmine Red Macan S on his Instagram. He'd removed a dent in the door so he knows of any issues with access etc.

Said he's going to use glue pulling from the outside on mine as he did on the red one.

Then it will be ready for a paint enhancement and ceramic coating.

Not quite a full paint correction. A single stage machine polish to remove swirls and bring the gloss back.

Depends what the detailer says...I'll probably end up getting paint correction though
