Best way to go about fixing a dime size ding?
 

No pics, but some jack *** opened their door and gave me a dime size ding on the driver side left front panel.

Its very very small, no paint damage, in fact I buffed out all the paint. Is it worth it to hire a mobile dent remover? Forget about it and move on?
Try to get dent king kit and do it myself.:tiphat:

tiny dings like that are hard. give the kit a try...if not...let a pro do it


I would only really go at it if the car was black......stands out too much

Sounds like PDR is your best bet but it's hard to tell without pics. By the time you spend money on a kit that doesn't work you are already 1/3 of the way there to having a PDR guy come out.

Is it creased or round?

I would go the PDR route. The Ding King type pullers are good for large push-ins, less effective on smalll door creases..

Don't do it yourself - there will be tears.

Either move on or pay the man with the tools.


...or leave it and cry quietly every time you see it.

I would also recommend letting a pro do it using paintless dent removal.

its Creased.

Yeah thats how i feel, but its maybe a qtr inch,,,,,,,,,,,i think ill just ove on, and cry everytime I c it

I feel your pain. I have a very small ding which I think happened during my first oil change. PDR would drill a hole in your door to massage it out from the inside; that would be worse for me than the ding, and with the aluminum side panels the Ding King might stretch it out and make it worse. Creases are almost impossible to get out; my sympathies.

drill a hole in your door? I dont think so.

YouTube - Compressed Air Dent Removal

Paintless dent removal is the way to go, I had a decent size door ding on the wife CX7 but no paint damage took it to these guys and $178 later looks like new....here is the link for the company I used I am sure you can find something like this in your area....

Dentique.net - Contact

Where can I buy the compressed air spray like the one in the video above ^^^

that only works in ideal situations. like baseball to football size with no dimpling.

Officemax, Office Depot etc..

and lol ya I know its kind of a redneck fix.. the wife's rx-8 had a weird little crease in the passenger door, but this actually made it look a whole lot less noticeable.. let the car heat up in the sun on a hot day, then hit with the freeze spray. didn't damage the paint at all..

Thanks Liquid_G. My dad backed into my passenger side door the other day. Luckily, I was able to buffed out all the scratches. Now I just have to take care of the big dent. Just Great!
