******* hit my car parked [not bad]

i was in a tight space but if youre not an idiot...you can easily not hit anybody in this lot. some guy bumped me and left white paint from their car on mine at the rear most 1/4 panel. theres also a softball sized indent but not much...you can tell looking sideways..and because of the paint transfer..
how do you pop out a dent without taking the thing off? and if i have to take it off how do i do that? get rid of paint transfer marks?
arggg i hate when people hit and run...i guess i would too!

You can pay for paintless dent removal, or possibly try one of those Ding King type of things, I don't know how they work though. As far as paint transfer goes, I've always had luck using lacquer/paint thinner and then washing it off.

had it done on my 03 Saab 9-3 Vector and it came out great. there was a dent on the rear passanger door, right on this seem that runs along the top of the door. i got it when my best friend kicked the s**t out of someone out side of a bar...thats what happens when you grab his fience's a**... unless your me

anyway... it came out really good. if you know it was there and look really hard you can tell its different. mostly because it was in the worst possible spot.

PDR is the greatest thing EVER. It literaly made maxine new again. Go for it. Dont use the ding king- it does not work well. I tried it and it made the dent worse and all funky. When the PDR guy saw the dent, he said- did you ding king this ****? I was like uhh- whats that? He massaged Maxine back to perfection. A ding king will never offer that kind precision

What do you guys pay for PDR? I had it done for $95 at the dealer and it was done perfectly...However now I have another very minor impression on a door, Im satisfied with how I removed the scratches...but now another dent, only viewable from an angle. If it were more like $30 I think that would be reasonable.

I've used 3M rubbing compound (light cut) on paint transfer with success.
