Yesterday I'm walking out to our 2007 Ford Escape that we've had for two weeks and I notice something on the hood. I look at an angle, and sure enough it's a dent! It's about the size of a dime, about 3/4 of the way up the hood. I have no idea where this came from, it's not like it's a door ding that you get randomly in parking lots. It's like something fell from the sky. I'm so mad :mad: My wife thinks I'm overreacting a bit, but we had this thing for two weeks and there is already a ding!!!



Anyway, I guess it's PDR for me. Has anyone tried DentPro in the SF Bay Area? They have a location in Campbell that is open Saturdays, which works for me since I can't do it during the week.



This sucks because I was JUST about to pull the trigger on a Porter Cable for using on this and my wife's car, but now I can't afford it since I have to pay for PDR. :sadpace:
 
Why not try a "Ding King". I got mine at Target < $20 and love it. It has saved my bacon many times. Paid for itself the 1st use. Easy to use and good results. Even in the middle of a flat panel. Even if you are semi-serious about detailing, don't be without this tool.
 
Try locating Brad @ Dent Preformance. Many dealerships and body shops use him, and he has done several of our vehicels, some pretty snasty dents, and was able to remove them - completly . . . sorry, lost the phone number . . just 411 dent preformance.
 
Thanks I'll look that up.



I called Dent Pro and they said no dent techs are there on Saturday, which makes me wonder why they are open. The problem is, I ride the train to work so I'm not with my car, so getting this done is a pain. I might have to suck it up and drive my car to work, and have a place come out and do it. I'm look at Dentmender, they serve Emeryville where I work.
 
Apparently it's impossible to keep your car nice. Flash forward to today. I take the train to work usually, and park the Escape at the train lot with hundreds of other cars. I park at the end of the row so I can stay away from other cars so people don't dent it. Today I come out to my car after work, walk around the passenger side to puy my bag away, and there is a FRICKING 15" LONG SCRATCH DOWN TO THE FRICKING PAINT GOING DOWN THE FRICKING PASSENGER DOOR!!!!!!! I take all the precautions to keep our new car nice, and some fricking punk decides it's cool to key my car. I'm guessing it was just some random kid walking through the lot and decided it would be cool to key some new car with no plates.
