How to remove door dings

Well I had some jerk put door dings in both sides of my 2016 GLE350 yesterday.

Has anyone had any luck with removing them with out going to a body shop? I have heard there are some quick fixes with like a hair dryer to heat it up and then using compressed air turned upside down to rapidly cool it. Didn't want to try this without getting some sage advise from you guys.

TIA
Mike

Call a PDR place. No body shop needed unless the paint is chipped and shouldn't cost much at all.

I PDR every year when I detail it. The more you get done the cheaper it is. Figure about $60 for the first one then $5-$10 each for any others. I usually get about 4-5 taken out for around $125-$150

Agree, good PDR should take care of the problem.

Agree, i have one on my passenger side door. I am also planning PDR after a few more dings in the future (hope not!).

Not everyone likes it but you can get side trim in stainless (or chromed plastic) for GLE that will prevent some of it.
