Someone backed into my door...

Looks like someone backed into my door while it was parked...no idea who did it

Possible to do PDR? Anyone know a place or possibly a good body shop in queens?

I had a few dings removed by PDR on my CLS back in the day, and they were dime sized and the PDR tech said some of those were too big.. However this was back in mid 2000's, I'm sure the technology has improved.

I'll go ahead and say it...

"It'll buff right out".

damn that doesn't look too good.

i had PDR take out a crease in the hood and a door ding w/ no problems. they can do some pretty amazing stuff.

but your damage looks pretty rough TBH...can you get some upclose/better pics? might be out of PDR's leauge.

Nate, it's worth asking PDR if they can do it. I hope they can. If not, Plan B is a body shop.

that really doesn't look like a car backing into it... it looks more like a hit with something hard like a bat.

to do damage like that it needs a solid fast hit which someone doesn't do while backing up.

could possibly be from a trailer hitch on a truck....

I think PDR would mask it pretty well although traces would still be present.

What is PDR? I recently got a ding on my door. I think it was from someone opening their door into mines. The damage is like a dime sized flattened area. Not really sunken in. The paint is also kind of crackly. Would PDR fix my problem?

Sounds like your clearcoat is spider webbed, so yes and no. They can probably pop it out, but the clear coat will still be screwed up.

that looks intentional. its an unusual kind of dent so im not sure what the solution is. most dents are small and shallow.
