VBdenny Posted August 15, 2003 Posted August 15, 2003 I've had it with rude people who think nothing of whipping the door of their jacked-up SUV into the side of your car. I just found another door ding today. I parked way out and some idiot still got me. Really gets me.... well I won't get going. Has anybody tried that DING KING thing I saw on TV? I suspect it's fake because they show this car with a bigass dent, then they glue this thing on and pull it out. Looks perfect of course, but I'm suspicious. Then they have these dent doctor guys who you can get to remove dings who I've heard are good, but expensive. Anybody used any of this? Gimme a REport please. Sick of dings Denny
SW03ES Posted August 15, 2003 Posted August 15, 2003 Nono, dont use that thing LOL. Ever hear of paintless dent removal? Check out www.dentwizard.com, they charge a flat fee per panel, its $80 here.
VBdenny Posted August 15, 2003 Author Posted August 15, 2003 Whew, they git you good. Oh well, I just can't stand a few I've gotten. I'll check around Norfolk.
VMF Posted August 16, 2003 Posted August 16, 2003 what if i have a dent? my friend ordered that thing we sa on Tv and will try it on his maxima first, it it will work i will use it:) is there any other way to get rid of those dents?
SW03ES Posted August 16, 2003 Posted August 16, 2003 From what I've heard they do actually work, it just takes a while to get it perfect. I'm not sold, I wouldn't use one myself. They're just terrifying lol. Other than that there's really nothing you can do, aside from PDR or straight bodywork.

SKperformance Posted August 16, 2003 Posted August 16, 2003 the pdr stuff is very good i have done my lexus and my wifes sunfire she had about 22 dents and the guy charged me $250 canadian to take all of tehm out in 3 hours
Shelly'sLS400 Posted August 17, 2003 Posted August 17, 2003 I do PDR for a living. I have 8 years experience and I have seen it all. Try to find a local PDR Tech. that uses a light to see his dents. Dent Wizard mostly uses a light board and works outside. Find a guy that works inside with a light. I feel the finished product is much better. Also ask to see some of there work before they touch your car. Just because they have dent tools, doesn't always make them a dent man!!!! Bryan
SW03ES Posted August 17, 2003 Posted August 17, 2003 He's right, it really is an art form that requires a LOT of experience.
VMF Posted August 17, 2003 Posted August 17, 2003 where can i fond those guys? in a regular bodu shop? or they have shops of their own? i dont even know how to find em
SW03ES Posted August 17, 2003 Posted August 17, 2003 Look in the phone book under paintless dent removal.
Shelly'sLS400 Posted August 18, 2003 Posted August 18, 2003 VB, drive to Charleston. I'll fix your car if you can't find anybody you can trust. :D
Shelly'sLS400 Posted August 31, 2003 Posted August 31, 2003 Hey Denny, have you gotten your car fixed yet ? Just wondering. Bryan Charleston SC
Shelly'sLS400 Posted August 31, 2003 Posted August 31, 2003 Denny, by the way, that is a # 8 tag on the front of our 400. Most people get a kick out of that. My wife wanted it on there!! Bryan Charleston SC
VBdenny Posted August 31, 2003 Author Posted August 31, 2003 No, I have been out of town so much lately that I haven't gotten to it. It's in my garage while I'm working on the A/C. I'm getting reasy to take out the control unit and send it to mikado. Then I have to figure out why my compressor isn't engaging. The only code I'm getting is a 33. I'm working on it. Yeah, I watching little E running at Darlington right now. Rusty got smacked good!
Shelly'sLS400 Posted August 31, 2003 Posted August 31, 2003 We are watching the race too!!! Good luck with your A/C and door dings!! GO # 8 !!!!! Bryan
acf Posted August 31, 2003 Posted August 31, 2003 Hey Denny, have you gotten your car fixed yet ? Just wondering. Bryan Charleston SC Hey Bryan, convince me to drive from Charlotte, NC to get you to fix the small dent in my front left fender. :D
Taz Posted August 31, 2003 Posted August 31, 2003 VB, drive to Charleston. I'll fix your car if you can't find anybody you can trust. :D Amazing...when I spotted the title to this post and read the first couple of messages I thought, there's not a chance in the world that my lil' ol' home town of Charleston, SC would have a quality PDR man in it! In fact, I've been a little discouraged with finding anyone in town (outside of the Lexus dealership) that knows much about the care and feeding of my newly purchased 1994 LS400. Shelly's LS400...can you tell me how to find/contact you in Charleston? (Also looking for a good detailing service in town as well.) Tried your email link through the board here, but couldn't get it to work (probably cause I'm new here and haven't figured how to navigate things ) Thanks, Taz Mister_Tazmo@hotmail.com
Shelly'sLS400 Posted September 1, 2003 Posted September 1, 2003 Well Taz, I'm glad you found me too! I have detail guys, paint touch-up guys , interior and aluminum wheel repair people. I have been in the car business since 1989 and doing PDR since 1997. I have chased hail storms for 2 years, so I think my work will speak for itself. You can call me Tuesday @ 670-3461. Hope to here from you. Bryan
