How do you get out the little tiny <ding> dents on the sides of your Civic?
You know how many HONDA Civic's get those little tiny ding dents on the sides, hoods, roofs, top, trunk, backs, etc............. well, it looks like the sides of my car have been shot in a 'BB-gun drive-by'.
Is there any way to get these tiny noticable dings out?

If the paint isnt chipped you can try to take of the inner door panel and find the dent from the insied and tap it out, or the old suction cup trick. I have two on my passenger side door from parking on south street at night, i still havent taken them out yet though
hm....IMO..
don't try playing it out from the inside if u don't know what u should do
u might end up making the shape of the metal plate look bad......
my professional wizard guy used the special long shaped metal tool to get to the dent from anywhere....then, he twitch his tool to get the dent out....sort of like a long L shaped metal...
however, after that's done...he used a soft plastic thingie and a mallet to tap slowly on the surface of the metal surrounding the ding he just fixed to make sure that the overall shape back to normal.....this took quite a while...cos he's making sure from many angles that there's no mark..

i would just go over with a body hammer and a dolly than after most of the dent is out grind it down to bare metal fill with body filler, than sand, shape, prime, and paint

There is nothing wrong with the paint... Just like 10 tiny noticable dings on the sides....... you can tell from looking at an angle. I wonder if this will cost me alot of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

If they're just dings and the metal isn't "creased", products like the Ding King™ will probably work okay. I use mine all the time to get door dents out. $10-30 depending on where you buy online. I bought mine at Wal-Mart for less than $20.

How about hail damage? My dad bought the 01 Civic brand new with a huge discount. It doesn't really bother me; the hail damage are mild and not very noticible. Just wondering if there is a way to fix hail damage?
