some jealous person.. opened their door too wide on me and made a ding on my door. it is minor but i still can see a dent.. doesnt fit in with my pretty tl-s.. does ne one know if dryice will take out this little ding? if so.. how do i use the dry ice on the ding. thanks much.

 

Not a prob. - just ask around for a PDR guy, which stands for paintless dent repair. The dent will be 100% gone.

 

Yes, but the surface won't be as smooth as new. I recently fixed my door ding from dent doctor... and yes, the ding was 100 gone but I could see the little ripples on the surface. :yack:

 

yeah, i want to know how to fix it. i went to an auto shop & they would charge me for $85. is it a good deal???

 

man i got a few on my car too, it bugs the sh*t out of me i've heard of dentwizard, but i don't know how good their work is, or how much they charge. if you guys find any info lemme know.

 

Paintless dent removal ("Dent Wizard") effectiveness of course depends on the skill of the technician who works on your car. I have had EXTREMELY good success with this process. Depending on where the ding is, they either go in through the window or have to drill a small hidden hole. Then they use various shaped metal bars to "push" the ding back out from the inside. The metal has been stretched and they are stretching back into place, so if it's a bad one there will be tiny ripples in the paint. Even so, it's literally MIRACULOUS to watch the dents disappear. The price depends on where you live, but $50 a panel is not unreasonable (for some reason they charge per panel, not per dent). Good luck!

 

Its worth it-


I lived in the city of Chicago and my ES 300 looked like Al Capone did a drive by on both sides of my car. I have a friend who is a service advisor and I brought the car to him - Man It looked 100% better. I gave the dent dude a case of Heineken and a 100 bucks for like 10 dings- He did the work after hours of coarse in his garage

DAY

 

teamisanni - just ask around for a good one, you'll be alright. My car had four dents in it from kids playing ball, now my panels look factory perfect. You cannot see a thing.

 

thanks a lot people.. i found a guy that can take out dents, 20 a dent.. i don't know if hes trustworthy. but he is using the same technique as iceman described. But if it gets the little dings out.. im cool.

 

For what it's worth, I just got back today from the dealer. There were a couple small dings on my newly delivered car. One on the hood, and one on the trunklid. They had someone fix it for me. They mentioned "dent wizard", but I don't know if that was a company name, or just a term they used. Both dents are completely undetectable now. Granted it is easier when you can get behind the dent easily. They said he would charge $40-50 per body panel if I needed it done in the future.
