mad.gif I am soooo mad at those tho disregard others valued cars. I park miles away from others in my workplace parking area, but some how it still attracts cars to mine! Why do people do that?

Anyways, I've tried soo hard for a year and half to stop any marks and dings appearing on the door panels, and now I have a large dent. Not the usual 1 cm tiny dents, this was 7 cm long i guess about 5 mm deepest part.

So what's the best way to pop that out again without a re-spray? For now the scratch is not to bare metal fortunately.

Advice and costs welcome. I live in Berkshire, UK.

If it's an honest to goodness dent, and not a crease, remove your door panel and plastic wrap. Some parts of the door skin are accessible I believe, but there is also bracing in there to protect you from side impacts. If you can see the dent carefully try to push it out with your hand. Don't use any other tools (unless you are extremely gentle with a rubber malet) as it may make it worse.

I must admit, Celicas have a lovely polished paint finish. Unfortunately spoilt by this ding - it looks minor in the photos but it's stands out like a sore thumb when you look at the whole side of the car as the eye looks for imperfections!
