Re: Paintless Dent Removal

[Mike Gruby <gruby@xxxxxxxx>]

My car is a '92 535i black w/ black leather.  Bought the car with dings on
every panel door and hood.  Got a guy that does the paintless dent work,
had worked on my dads '92 300SD and took every single dent out of the car.
I really didn't remember what my car looked like with the dents since we
had this done a few days after purchasing.  I can't notice any blemishes
where the dings were.  Ther was even an area about 6 inches long that had
been dented, unoticable as well.  The car is perfect still, except for one
ding I got like a week later from jeep who parked way to close to me,
didn't check my car hard enough because I was with my friend and didn't
want to look like a paranoid freak.  Besides that, the car is beautiful!
