You could try that "as seen on tv" dent remover. My friend bought one and he said it worked pretty well........better than nothing.

try your yellow pages and look up a PDR (Paintless Dent Removal) service. I had a huge dent on my fender and it was fixed in less than 20 minutes by a PDR guy. Can hardly see it now...

I m also looking into PDR. I m not sure if it would work in my situation because my car has a wavy appearance when you look the door panel (car wash abuse previous owner )
What s the best way to fix this with out rewelding panel or bondo?

Don't go to a body shop if all you have are mere door dings. Use a paintless dent removal service like Dent Wizard:

http://dentwiz.com/

Go to their website to learn more about paintless dent removal and to see if they have a location near you. I took my car to Dent Wizard and the surface was restored to a perfect finish without any painting. A body shop would require that the entire panel be re-painted and it would be much more expensive.
