Sounds like u need to buy a POS beater to drive to work given your job. That way u aren't fixing dings and scratches constantly!
Save up a grand and get a work beater.
My buddy was a landscaper. That job is HELL on nice vehicles. Even tree sap and bird shat will play hell on your paint before you know it.
Invest in a beater.
You'll thank me later if u do it!

Heat and pulled dent
and here it is now after being fixed.
When metal is forged and it hardens, it will retain that memory of where it was. So if you get a dent and heat it, it will pop back into the shape it was before it was hit.

Either those are some big acrons or the tree is really tall!

I know what you mean. We had a hail storm (little larger than a pea) and my car had dings all over the top of my car (hood, roof, trunk). It happened to my 1998 Pontiac Grandam, so I didn't care too much. LOL
Dent repair company can help get rid of those. They usually charge by the number of dents, so the less the better.
