Fixing small dents...

Hey everyone, I was wondering if
you had any advice on how to get
rid of small dents, like really small
ones. I have small ones in the back of
car. I guess when I back up to park
it hits these bushes, which have most likely
caused the little damage. Anybody can help
greatly appreciate it!

-Sam

I had a dent removal guy take care of the ding in my door, the one I got after stopping at Walmart for five minutes and parking away from everyone. You can't even see it anymore, despite his claims that he wasn't able to fully extract it. Cost me something like $60 but since it was driving me nuts it was well worth it.

Most of the Old Wive's Tales fixes (dry ice, hair dryers, etc) don't work on small dings. Go see a professional and get real results!
