Unhappy !@#$

I parked under a tree at work today and when I came out to go home there were two big dings in my hood, I didn’t take notice that it was a Chestnut Tree.

I'm going to call my insurance company and see if they recommend a Paintless Dent Repair Guy

Man do we have soft dent hoods
Sorry to hear this.
Some pdr work goes wonderful. I would thing on our hoods it will work out well since both sides can be got at for a lot of the hood area.
Good luck

You know, I wonder about that...."soft hoods".

While on vacation, and in South Dakota, I encountered a hail store for about 10-12 minutes. Marble size, driving at 50 MPH. It gradually got heavier so visiblity was about 100 yards. At which point I slowed down. It was so intense, the wife and I could hardly hear each other and we thought the windshieid would break.

Thought I would have a lot of damage. Discovered 2 very small "dings" that you can only see when the light is reflecting just right.


AMAZING......

I was thinking about trying that, I saw that video a couple weeks ago. but I think that is more for larger dimples.
I'm going to check with my insurance co., I only have a $100 ded.

I had a very similar experience in Denver last May, only I wasn't driving, we had just got to our hotel when a hail storm hit, and it hit hard. I have some very minor dings that, like you, can only be seen in the right light. I just knew the car was going to be beat to hell, but it wasn't too bad, and the top of the car had no damage at all. It was covered in leaves and debris from the hail and wind. Ask courthousedeb about the storm sometime, I'm sure she remembers it
