First door ding

I've been careful for four months but some Sheeit **** slammed a door into my drivers side door. It was white car and it left a 3 inch vertical door ding. I get some mad at people who are not careful opening doors. Not sure if it happened at work our out somewhere. But my anger level is still high.

Hi Shellback, look for a pdr (paintless dent removal) speacialist in your area. They will remove the ding for anything between $75-$100. These pdr guys can be found at your local dealer, they usually come there to remove dings on used cars before they are put out on the lot for sale. I had a similar expereince when I just bought my IX, the ding is gone and you can never tell it was ever there.

A car cover helps, I use one at work every day and park away from everyone else. Feel your pain, but as said above, that might come out for a few bucks.

I dont know about where you live but around here in NYC, dings are unavaoidable. No use crying over spilled milk. I just learn to live with it now and do the best I can to keep it pristine.
