    Door Dings!?!?!

    I come out of the mall, sure enough a red car had dinged my door...

    It is about the size of a dime( i used scratch x to remove the scratch)

    Is it possible to get this out!?!

    I think I am going to cry...

    Find a good Paintless Dent Repair person. If nothing is listed in your phone book, stop by your favorite auto dealership and maybe they can set you up with someone. Most of these people do fantastic work and you will never know there was a dent.

    Where are you located? There is a company called "Dent Wizard" that visits our area. They are a mobile service. I believe they are national. Check out their website for locations. www.dentwizard.com

    They have specialized tools so they can work the dent out from inside the panel. They do not glue anything to the paint or anything like that.
    Our Z-3 had three really dad dings and I would challenge anyone to show me where they were. I would even tell them which door. This guy works the local dealerships and I got hooked up with him through the body shop manager of one of them. The only time they will damage the paint is if the dent is extremely sharp.

    Door dings suck.

    :yeah
    And the good ones know how to use those tools. You might want to ask around about recommendations. Like detailers, just having the equipment doesn`t necessarily mean they know how to use it. High end used car lots usually know who does good work.

    I had a guy do a rather large ding in one of my doors and I figured I would be able to tell after. No way! It was perfect, even if you knew where the ding was and you were looking for it. I will tell you, it`s going to run at least $150 to get that dime-sized ding out, so you might want to wait until you get a few more so you can get a mult-dent discount. Try to get a better spot next time.
