Autopia.org is the premier detailing forum. You can buy IHG at some Pep Boys stores and Autozones OTC or from autogeek.net. You can buy Griot's products there, too, or directly from Griot's:

Really, your best bet is to polish out the marring. Stop by the detailing forum if you want to learn how, and post some pics of the area if you do.

I had to look into a yard and couldn't think of a better place to get height then the roof. But the huge dent popped back up, just have like 2 barely noticeable ripples on the roof. You don't notice them til you're really inspecting the car.

Well if wife and kid weren't in car, maybe. We didn't move into that house though, it didn't have a garage.

Proud to say no dents, no dings, no scratches. Only damage is rock chips cause mitsubishi was on drugs when they came up wit the idea to do a single stage pos paint job on these cars. And I live on a gravel road which doesn help at all.

Many solid colors are single-stage. Not just Mitsubishi's, other manufacturers, as well. Single-stage doesn't necessarily mean that it's lower quality than base/clear; it's a different process.

I get about 1-2 dings a year. I always park in BFE when in a parking lot. My good friend is PDR guy so he takes them out for me.
Here's the kicker. My wife drives a Ford Explorer, doesn't care where she parks it, hardly ever washes it. Doesn't have a single door ding.
