fixing a door ding :(

I had a tiny dent removed from the driver's side door by a PDR guy without a problem. It was barely noticeable before, and it looks absolutely perfect now.

Cool! Thanks! I watched a vid on utube and saw the guy did not heat up the metal, which is how I thought they did it, but rather he used some sort of tool, and using leverage, worked the dent out from behind.....pretty cool!!

Did he remove your door panel?

A common fix for car problems like this is the dry ice method.. but I don't recommend it since the result is not great.. look for a good paintless dent removal service instead..
