Has anyone tried a Dent Wizard that come by and fix them or do you bite the bullet and have the car repaired and painted? What does that cost roughly? No major dents just stinkin' door dings! about 8 of them!
Thanks

$80 a panel is pretty normal in CA. They would remove all the dings for that one panel, be it one or 8 dings.

Works pretty good. My dad swares by it.

my car used to be full of dings. I spend 150 bucks and had all of them taken out. It looks perfect now. They work miracles.

Go to a local up scale car dealer (Mercedes, BMW, Lexus) and ask them who they use when it comes to door dings on their new vehicles. I did this and the guy came right out to my house, fixed a ton of dents and dings, the job was flawless and I think it cost be $60CDN.

Good advice - get a referral from an upscale dealership. Most of their dent guys are mobile and will come to you, or in my case he let me bring my car to the lot and he did it for me. These guys are artists - you can't even tell.

Is it me or do the doors on the 2nd gens ding sooo easily. I hate when I get a new one!

Good idea. Some jealous B**ch decide it would be funny to pop the side of my car with a B.B. or a pellet gun.

Or maybe accidentally kicked a pebble while shuffling their feet in a parking lot? I can't imagine a BB gun not penetrating our thin sheetmetal. But yeah, so you guys probably park 10 miles away from any other cars in the parking lot as well-only to have some joker park right next to you and ding your car. I want to KILL people sometimes.

Get a bottle of superglue and squeeze it into the keyhole on both doors. Makes for interesting results when they come back. Make sure you get it in the keyhole so it doesn't look obvious. Also put some where the windsheild whiper meets the glass. Smear it with your finger so it doesn't look like anything's there. More intersting results.

No, I respect other peoples property-I just wish they respected mine and sometimes even their own. I think leaving a note (not an offensive one) might help them see the light. But I just want to KILL them!

It'd be one thing if it was a windy day and it was on accident or it was just a small ding, but when the big SUV's pull right next to you and the big fat soccer moms who don't give a sh*t get out and slam their door right into the side of your car, I just go all-out on them. Some people don't care, and notes aren't gonna do jack. They'll throw it to the wind. I like my car. I don't like others messin with it. If they don't respect my property, why should I repect theirs. Keying the car is one thing. Super glue is another.

Well, some big mamma was about to set her fat little kid on my NA aluminum hood (you know how those dent when you look at them funny) to change its diaper and I honked the horn. She looked at me like I was the biggest a**hole; Yes, some people will never get a clue, but if you **** those people off they will remember and do something worse to your car next time they see it.

If you notice, most of the stuff I listed they either won't notice until a while after they've left. Most cars now use keyless entry. Glue in the keyhole could come to haunt them, say, 3 months down the line. No way linked to you. Super glue the windshield whipers to the windsheild - next time it rains. I don't think they're gonna notice that day (cause if it was raining, it would be hard to apply super glue). You get your revenge and they doesn't know who the hell did it. Unfortunately, they don't learn.

If you wait by your car and get out and get in their face about it when they come back, askin for insurance and the whole mess of things, they'll be a little more cautious and try and avoid that happening again. Unfortunately, they can hate you for it and seek revenge on your car.

Take your pick. I use them both.

While we are speaking of stupid people, let me relate this. Once I was driving to my girls house and some lady on the side of the road was letting her kid in her side (yes, they are all pregnant or have a kid up here in the sticks) because she couldn't figure out how to park w/ out obstructing passenger door. Kid hit the horn by accident and she gave me a look like I was MR. Jerk. I laughed. About 15 min. later she drove by my girls house where my car was parked and stopped to LAY INTO THE HORN. I fell to the floor laughing so hard. How stupid people are..Moral is, up here if you have a RX you stick out and people really remember it, so you have to be carefull.

Cheers!

Have a got the story...

So one day this lady stops her car and gets out and leaves it rigth infront of my friend's drive way while we are getting into my friend's truck. Knowing we were going to get out of the drive way

So my friend asks hte lady to move the car... she shrugs and runs off...
Now me and my friend get into his 97 ford excursion (it has its shares of dings and stuff from the heavy use of towing and moving stuff all the time), he puts it into reverse and floors the massive v10 engine and knocks that pretty red bmw out of the way into the middle of traffic, then he nudgles the bimmer onto the sidewalk acorss the street.

So for all those ******** who think just leaving their car infront of you while you are pissed think again.

Remember, not too many things stop a V10 in a truck that wieghs 100000000000 tons!

Yo,


I just had some dents removed by Dent Magic up here in Sacto. Ask for Jason, he's the man. He not only took out the usual dings, but straight up /creases/ in my ****. If you thought my car looked good before, you should see it now!

Since right now I drive a 91 Maxima, my car doesn't stand out all that much. It has so many dents, dings, and paint scratches, they could key my car and I wouldn't notice. The hood has been eaten to the primer by gasoline and now has no clearcoat (waterspots form permanently on there with a half chalk-grayish color). Someone pourd soda on my right rear side and the paint is damaged (not noticable while dry, but turns to a dark greenish when I was the car). The tires have little tread and the right front rim has a big-*** scratch from my sister driving it into a curb at 2 miles an hour. She'll die in a car accident at an early age.

Anyway, I don't really care how badly I mess their car up. They could pour acid on my car and I wouldn't notice. The key is to leave something to remeber next time they are about to do that to someone else. Keying a car is just vandalism. Deflating 2 or more tires (not slashing, deflating) is something interesting. But the most interesting thing to do is go out and buy a bottle of etching cream (for etching glass) and smear it accross their windows and windsheild, spelling/drawing profane things on the windsheild. Just imagine the drive home.
