First door ding...!?

[KAustin]

Well, it only took 17 days for Smoke to get a ding in the front passenger door. Did it happen at the mall? Nope. Grocery store? Nah. Restaurant? Guess again. Home Depot? No. Sherwin Williams? Not even close. In my garage? Exactly!!!

"How did that happen?", you ask. My daughter was looking for a ring that fell off her finger. It must have happened when she got in my wife's car to look around. I went out to help her and saw her starting to exit on the same side as the Mach-E. I stopped her immediately, walking between the cars and that's when I saw it. What horror...

In case you are wondering... Yes, she is still alive. After four hours of depression, I did lie to her saying it's only a piece of metal.

So, my question to the crowd is how in the heck do I get this freaking ding out of my door?

Find a decent PDR guy. Shouldn't set you back more than $150 and it'll look good as new. Mine had to get PDR off the dealer lot the day after I brought it home. There was no way I was living with it.

Sorry who is a PDR guy? I am not a car guy so trying to understand so I know who to look for. I have other cars with dings like that - 150 s not a bad price if I can get that

You self restraint is admirable. I am not sure I could handle that kind of a blow wo soon.

I might have to accidentally pay the dingman out of her account.

I've never had a car that wouldn't have a ding, it's part of life.

PDR people can work wonders depending on the ding.

12 days after delivery in a grocery store parking lot. At least yours looks easily PDR-able

Get your touch-up paint color match and start layering it in lightly. Once you get it just above surface level, you can use a high-quality automotive polish like Meguiar's with t-shirt fabric to smooth it out. Depending on the color, you may never even notice it happened.

I've had good luck with Dr Color chip. Ever try it? https://drcolorchip.com/

Sorry to hear about the loss of your daughter. However, capital punishment/disownment seems the only appropriate response

The discussion of pointless dent repair is a good option but unless your car will be a garage queen, I fear there may be more.

I haven't tried this one, @zhackwyatt. There was a no blob kit in the past I used but it didn't work well. The tech has likely improved. I might have to spring for this kit.
