Default Door Dings.....

I miss the way my doors use to look when my R was new. It would have a nice smooth mirror reflection when i looked at it from an angle. But now it is a wavy shine because I have a couple small door dings.. I have heard people say that very small ones can be pulled out. Does it restore back to that mirror look after its pulled? And where can I get the dings pulled? OR Who do i call..
Any help would be appreciated.. Thanks!

Try paintless dent removal. Had some guy comeby my highschool last year and do some for free. It was perfect. Did quarter size door dings in a sec. and looked perfect afterwards. Look in the yellow pages. I'll be doing mine someday once I get more dings.... I've got like 4 on the driver side now.

I had one smudge that I removed myself but, that was just a paint blemish from when someones rubber strip brushed against my door. No big deal I just did a 3 step wax and buff with the clay bar and now shiny as new!

I had another ding when my lanscapers shot a stone from their weed-wacker into my drivers side door. I had paintless dent removal done and now no dent and shiny and straight as new. They paid half of which was about $45.

Good luck, I noticed that my PY chipped easier on the hood and front bumper from road debris "my black one seems to have a tougher finish."

The black though shows swirls ALOT easier and dents certainly show more. BUT, when the NBP is just washed and waxed and polished, it is a deep shiny blue, black!!!

tj,
I have had 2 or 3 dings removed from my R and it looks great. I used an outfit called Dent King here in Vancouver and that mirror look is actually what they use to make sure it is perfect. When the reflection across your door doesn't wow they have hit their mark.

Good luck!

Dents Unlimited also do it... They're in Coquitlam but they are mobile..

The estimators at ICBC use them a lot, and you know how cheap they are..

Really nice work. and starts about $90.00 a dent, then cheaper by the pound.
