How do you remove a small 'ding' in a car door. Its not that deep and around 5cm squared. I was told that by using a hairdryer to create heat on the door will pop the dent out. Is this true or could anyone advise me of any other solutions?

If it doesn't have any creases then a sink plunger might pull it out, also there will be a local franchisee of "chips away" or similar that could do it for a fee.

A good panel beater can work miracles with dings...

Thanks for the advice folks but i am trying to keep costs to a minium. Taking it to a dent specilaist is at least gong to set me back £100. The car is not worth spending that money on for a small ding. On the other hand the passenger door has a big dent were my stupid friend pulled out of a parking space and someone smashed into the side door causing noticable damage. I don't wont to comprise on safety features of the car. i,e, Brakes but I would like to know if I can do some DIY to fix the small ding. There must be some tricks of the trade. Regards
