Hello, fellow Kizashi owners. I recently purchased my 2012 Kizashi. I enjoy the car very much. Its a very nice looking car. I have only had the car a little over a week and some idiot already has put a dent in my door and took some paint off. WTF? Anyway, I am on Youtube now trying to find DIY was to get it out. If anyone has any tips, I am all ears. Thanks.

Ugh people are such idiots. This is why I park far back corner.

What kind of dent is it? A dent you can pull or a dent you'll have to fill?

Regardless, you will probably want a pro to get it out if you want it back to how it was.
I also have a small ding that I will eventually get out by getting paintless dent removal.

You could try this. At your own risk, of course...

This barely works. I've tried it before on another car. It's all dependent on the type of dent and where it is.

I've used a suction dent puller before with better results, but the fix was not 100% by any means. For the best results, you have to go to a pro.

Here's how paintless dent removal works.

I appreciate all of the advice from all of you. Its about a quater sized dent with two small scratches. Unfortunately I have gotten use to seeing it, so i will leave it for a while and take it to a pro. I feel that will be the best way to go. I really dont want to damage the door anymore than what it is. Its an eye sore from up close, but it could be worse. I too find my self parking in the far corners of any place that I go. Take care...
