Dents, dings, and this f*ing bump

eddiekranc · Apr 7, 2017

So I have a dent and weird ding from someone side swiping me while i was paralleled parked and they ran away, noticed when i got back to the car.

Also messed up my side skit area when i put my safety stand horizontal instead of vertical by accident.

Any tips on fixing these are greatly appreciated. Idk if the ol' steaming water and plunger method would work lmao.

Also has anyone used vw's paint correction pens for scratches and chips? is i worth it?

I've used one of these to remove dings/dents with some success. Didnt remove it entirely but you wouldnt notice it unless you knew what you were looking for.

Locate and contact a paintless dent repair company.
They can do wonders.
Cost really not that bad on most issues.

Any suggestions on the fuck up i did on the side skirt? lol that evil bubble pisses me off

I'm guessing the side skirt bubble is actually a dent from the bottom. A dent repair shop may be able to address that as well given enough space to work from the bottom... maybe a lift or ramps.

Yeah i got a dent where the door sticks out the most under the door handle i got a PDR for 90 bucks. the dent is about 95% gone. i didn't bother repainting the door, people in Texas are assholes when it come to respecting others cars.

It's not just Texas. Here in Vermont, where in general people are amazingly polite and considerate (they even let you merge and stuff!), my car has received one sorta nasty (and seemingly either deliberate or really really stupid) door dent, complete with smudges of somebody's red paint, and several of those buffable but icky paint scrapes from doors sliding along yours. The car is small, and I try hard not to park close to anyone, but the sheer number of gigantor trucks and SUVs with humongous doors (and high doors, too), plus the occasional coupe with doors as long as a football field make it hard to avoid.

I have had the same weird ding on my car and it is from an internal bolt on the window runner. That door has been pushed in quite a way to cause that.

I had a sheep take offence to their reflection and butt the car resulting in a new front door and the rear dents like yours were removed.
