Default need help with fixing a small dent on car

the dent is not big nor deep, but it is noticeable up close. It was created when my stupid roommate opened her door and banged it against my car. What can i do to pop it back out?

this happened to me today! i could go and ask security for a tape to see which person at work did it. however i have got two other dents that need doing and can't be asked with finding the tape or confronting the person who did it. I have got both rear 1/4 panels slightly bruised shall we say and now a small line on the drivers door. Isn't london great.

I wrote an article on Paintless Dent Repair for Nutz and Boltz, and interviewed the company president at Dent Wizard. They really can work miracles.

When I bought my NSX, it was perfect. On the way back to Virginia from Durham, NC (Rick Hendrick's Acura shop), a car threw a hubcap and of course it hit the side of my new aluminum beauty. I thought aluminum was non-magnetic! I freaked!

When i calmed down, after a sleepless night, I went to my Dent Wizard, and for $75 they made it perfectly undetectable. At that time, a ding was going for $50 (now $99), but they charged me for for aluminum. I almost kissed the technician, and that was about the easiest $75 I ever spent (well, there was a $75 dinner for a French exchange student in college, but that is the subject of another time and place).

Good Luck!
