Paintless Dent Removal....

I discovered some dents on the trunklid of my 07 TSX. I am not sure how they got there, but I need to get rid of them. I am thinking about calling a few Paintless Dent Removal services. Has anyone used one of these services before? If so, what were your thoughts? Also, does anyone have ANY clue how I could get 2 dings in my trunklid? I am totally baffled, as my car is garaged 95% of the time

did you ever put groceries or something on the trunk lid. You might not have put them there either, someone else might have.

PDR works great, if its done by someone with experience you'll never notice it was there. i had thousands of dents removed with pdr after a hail storm.

When the PDR is does the technician have to remove door panels, etc? How long did it take the technician to remove all of your hail dings?

Paintless Dent Removal (PDR):
(PDR) is a highly skilled process in which minor dings and dents are removed from an automobile's exterior without creating the costly and time consuming need for traditional body shop repairs. The process involves the use of custom designed dent removal tools that are applied to the inside skin of a vehicle's sheet metal, to begin the repair process, a dent technician gains access to the inside skin of the metal via an automobile's windows, headlights or other access point.

A fluorescent light is then used to illuminate the damaged area. The technician then drags the tip of the dent removal tool with leverage, over the damaged area in a fluid, pumping motion. In less than an hour, will be able to repair dings and dents on any panel of any metal vehicle, including the car's roof, trunk, and hood as long as the paint has not been fractured or damaged prior to the repair
