Re: First ding....what to do?
There is probably a car detailing shop in your area that
does paintless ding removal. This can be done if it is not
too bad. I'v not had the displeasure of doing this, but I do
know about it. Check it out!

Re: First ding....what to do?
Thank you. The ding is minimal, but it bothers me. The problem is that once you get one, your car becomes a magnet to dings.

Step 1) Cry
Step 2) Call around some body shops and get quotes for paintless dent removal. Make sure you know how big the ding is, the location, and material it's on. Good luck!

It's really not all that bad, but when you've only had the car for a year, it breaks your heart. Now it's going to turn into a punching bag for car doors and shopping carts.

Re: First ding....what to do?
I used the Ding King that another post referred too. I would say it took out 90% of a ding that I had. Now it is barely noticable at all. I would guess a professional could get it out better than I did, but I thought I would try the product and thought it worked pretty good.

Re: First ding....what to do?
My previous vehicle (a black '96 T-Bird) suffered many dents during a hail storm. I took it to Dent Wizard (paintless dent removal) and they were able to get rid of every dent. No bondo, no paint. I was very impressed.
Ask about how the paint color will affect the outcome. Metallics might be more tricky.
