First dent into my M235i
I discover a dent into my car, probably something made with a car's door. I have also minor scratches on the dent
I will try to get it fixed with a paintless dent remover. What's the price range to fix this? Any tips? |

That sucks. but looks like it could be fixed by a dent remover company. I had multiple door dings removed on my old car. As long as it didn't need paint it was fixed like new.

I had something a million times worse done on my old Touareg came out perfect and cost $75. You should be fine.

+1 Check You Tube, may only cost $5 vs $75-100. That dent looks like it would come out with the freeze/heat. If not I've used Dent Wizard several times and that looks easy to get too.

If it's minor, you can use a little rubbing compound.

If the scratch is not too deep use a mild compound. I use 3m finish material and an air 3 inch buffer. Sometimes takes a few applications as the 3m stuff is like 2000 plus sandpaper
