Deer dents finally being done
Just felt like posting today. Old softball buddy has a quality body shop and has recommended his painless dent fellow. Car's there now and it should be interesting to see if the various little clunks are able to be handled this way. Some may be inaccessible but the fender is what really needs attention.
Results tomorrow. Stay tuned.

Can he get the dents out of the deer?
Post some before and after pictures, if you can. There have been a lot of posts about paintless dent removal, but few pictures of the results.

Just retrieved the old girl. The worst of the fender dents, which were a group of thumb size indentations are gone. Shop said that it is not possible to make it perfect. The others were two small knuckle like marks in the front lid, a dent in the rear lid caused by an overzealous shove to close the lid and a golf ball like ding just above the rear lid near the rear window corner. All of these are completely gone. Truly disappeared leaving straight panels. all for $275 which to me is more than reasonable.
What's left is likely to be unnoticed by all but me because I know the faults are there. As for the deer's dents, I was almost stopped as i saw them crossing in front of me. This dopey animal ran into the side of my fender....so it's a case of deer hitting car this time.

Dent Wizard
My SC was in the shop and my mechanic called about having several, hardly noticable dents removed by his personal dent wizard - and the results are remarkable! For a couple hundred bucks he's removed dents that I thought were there for the next owner. One he removed was just under the windshield on the cowel ? that someone put in when removing the windshield. We tried to take pictures but when they are that small they are difficult to pick up with a camera.
Truly amazing and well worth the money. Make sure you get someone who has been recommended - my wrench says he only uses this one guy!

Hey Fred/LI:
Who did you use to take out the dents? Out on the Island, I suppose. I'm in the City and could make that ride. I have a nasty bambi-dimple on my left fender... Thanks, BB |
