Cheesed off with hood dents
well i am back again with the same old problem 3rd HHR &same area hood dents. my 2011 20,000 kms and had one dent before leaving on vaction and after 3 wks and returning home i now have an additional 2 more .one on left side of hood ,2 on right side of hood they are about 1 foot from windshield are and just on top surface before curvature that drops towards fender. now another $150 to get the DENT DR to remove,yet again.you would think GM would have the sense to put a little more gauge thickness in this material.in my humble opinion you just have to put your hand or elbo on it and you'v got a grease or dent. how many more of you owners are having this same problem? i am a consious owner and keep my vehicle cleaned &maintained but i am pissed with the GENERAL about this re accuring on my 3 rd HHR, or am i just unlucky. GM has to be aware of this problem ? would'nt you think.

They are awfully thin, and I'm clumsy, the repair guy has got 600 since I got the SS, and the Dealer had to fix 3 they did just trying to work on it.

sometimes use a protective film. Transparent or colored.
It is attached by means of water, like a dark film on the glass. Almost unnoticeable, found only if specifically look.
This is Camry photo, the hood is protected with transparent film.

If you use color film - a great opportunity for creativity and image tuning.

I had good luck using this http://www.amazon.com/LANGKA-Complet.../dp/B000BAV602. You use regular chip repair paint and let it dry for 20-30 min., then buff it down.

I have to scrub my hood with a bit of force to remove bug gus and such and I've not created any types of dents. Most of those, unless creased, should pop out with a swift pop with the palm of your hand....
