I have had many similar small imperfection dents and scratches in my vehicles in the past (Disclaimer: not always my fault :-) ) and every place I took my vehicle it was $500 to repair! In fact, I think I will try your process to take a small dent out of my car that was hit by a bottle rocket last year on New Years Eve.....hit the back right quarter of my car...bottle rocket still sitting on top of my car with burnt gun powder across the trunk and back window the next morning. Thanks again! Greatly appreciated!

I really think the good Lord knows that. Proved with Draco. My precious grandpa said to me "life is a voyage in witch we choose neither vessel nor weather, but much can be done in the guidance of the helm and the management of the sails. God was with Mike.

The only major repairs were actually maintenence items. Brakes, clutch and timing belt. Preformed all repairs and maintenence myself. Older now, and more apt to take them to the shop and let them do it lol. That quick repair is one I've done before. Works great!

    Mike I have fixed so many dents just like the one you tried on your pick up truck. You need a dinging hammer a good one, you also need a t bar witch you need to make yourself. Remove the trim panel first then put the t bar inside the door and up against the outer body line, top of the t first hit the bottom of it and your dent will come out. If it has several buckles in the door skin where they shouldn't be have someone push the t bar by hand and carefully tap the buckles out on the high spots only using the large round end of your dinging hammer. Hope i was of some assistance. Sincerely Bill Campbell

    Mike - Autozone carries _Scratch Out_ sold under the _Formula 1_ brand name. It comes in a yellow plastic bottle. I've been using it for decades (it used to be sold under the _Kit_ brand name). It's excellent at removing small scratches and scuffs like you have. It's also safe for clear coat since it's not abrasive like typical polishing/rubbing compounds. Sadly, here in Thailand it's very expensive, but worth it, to keep the factory shine on vehicles subject to the brutal latitude 16° North sun. Cheers from Thailand and fly safe! :)

    Lacquer thinner on a cloth will erase a lot of paint transfer marks, as will Goo Gone, etc. When heating the metal, try using an infrared thermometer to keep from heating the paint over 175 F, or you run the risk of blistering the paint. Good job and thanks for the video. I have a dent to tackle this afternoon and will follow your lead.

    I am happy for you. I am hurting right now with a dent and a deep scratch in the centre of the dent on my new car. I took out a policy for AUD500 when I bought this car which offers an on-site repair for AUD50 for each minor repair. The dent itself is small but noticeable. I got a repair technician out this morning but he said he could not fix the dent and that I would have the whole door repainted in the workshop, which is very expensive. He went over the deep scratch with a touch up paint, no putty filler, which I could have done myself. Very poor job. Paid $50. I love my car and it hurts when I look at the damage.

    You need a dual action polisher to do it right with an orange foam pad with a good compound then use a good polisher. Most auto paint supply shops will put the trucks color code in a rattle can for $25.00 and they will sell a rattle can clear coat called SprayMax for $25.00.

    The collision repair place we usually use wanted $2300 to fix our dented fender. A guy came out and did a similar thing to what the guy in the video did. Then he buffed out the scrapes and scratches. It looks 100% perfect. $400. He came highly recommended, tho and has a lot of experience. I think collision repair places are doing this, too and just upcharging. Make sure you check references if you hire a dent repair guy who comes out to you.
