I've got 2 dings on my rear passengers side door. they are damn annoying. size of the ding is a 10 cent coin...has anybody experienced this method on their e60's? is it 100% removed or will it still be visible if you look closely?...i don't think that respaying the whole door panel will be a good idea due to the $$$ factor + period of the time to leave just because of these dings...

i've seen the procedure in youtube but am still not convinced with the results shown (camera trick???), anything can be done in front of a camera...is it for real? has anybody done this to their cars?

Will the dent on the car go away without any slight marks of knocks/beats? it definately has to be knocked and beated, right? wel, at least that's what i saw in youtube...

Today's paints are much more flexible than people think, and in most cases it should just pop back out and look fine!

The process is much more gentle it's more of a rubbing motion, I just had a ding taken out of my X5 and it is perfect, flawless , Give it a go !

i've seen the before and afters and they are amazing! you cannot see a thing, but the paint cannot be broken or it will chip during the repair

take before and after pics when you get the service done.

Try contacting your local dealer/s. Most dealers should have some on file as they use these type of services with lease returns or CPO cars....
