Dent solution?

So some cocksucker opened their car door into mine the other day and left a nice ding. :squintfaw
Slight paint damage I can take care of, but I'll be left with the quarter-sized dent they left behind. Has anyone had any luck with over-the counter dent fix stuff like Pops-a dent (sp?) or something else I can look into? If only they were there when I came back to my car...

Pop's a dent is very iffy, I've seen some folks make a dent larger by using it!

I'd suggest you call up your dealer and ask for the person who does their Paintless Dent Removal (PDR) work. They will usually charge about 75-125 per panel and remove all dents that they can. If it's on a crease or body line they can't get it perfect!

thanks...ya I was suspect of the Popsadent route, I've seen the infomercial and the way that thing is torqued down around the dent you are trying to fix was the concern. off the the body shop I guess.

As mentioned above, a PDR shop will make the ding unnoticeable as long as they can gain access to the area.
Dealers use them all the time as it's a lot less expensive than painting and trying to match the shade/paint and pearl.
