Default Dent help needed please!!!

So as i'd mentioned I was going to try claybar for the overspray on my car. Well it worked ok.
However, I noticed a very very small dent at the bottom of my passenger's side door. Now what can I do? It's so small a pic wouldn't show it. I'd say about 2mm in diameter. Now I hate it because it shows on the black car (the way it distorts the light). So what can I do? I've heard of paintless dent removal but i'm not sure of what it is and how it works. Is it a do it yourself type thing? How much does it cost? Any other ideas???? Thanks for any input on this.

I actually just heard on another forum i am on that using dry ice works. Heat it up a little bit either in the sun or with a hair dryer, and then put some dry ice on it for a few seconds. It is supposed to pop right out if its small. I'm not sure how well it works yet, but i plan to give it a try this weekend on my old car.

If you try it, let me know if it works!

Theres a couple different ways the dents get removed. They do have a do-it-yoursekf kit but I've never used it.
I had the dent guy that comes to my work take one out of my passenger door. right below the crease of the door. He charged me 20 bucks but usually I think it should be about 40-50. Just make sure its a good place doing it cause it can come out like acne.

If you go over any mustang the way some of us do, with a keen eye, you're bound to see tiny imperfections. This one sounds like that's what you're seeing.

Go with a local PDR company, have them explain how they will remove it and of course the cost (which won't be much). I've seen a few done by a company out here in MA and there was no evidence that therea dent was ever there.

I have had PDR done on two pickups. Cost was $75 per ding and you would never know there had been a dent there.

I had a ding above my left rear wheel. I noticed it two days after I took delivery but felt certain that it had to be there prior to delivery somy dealerkindly fixed it for free (I love my dealership) (sorry I'm taking this a little off subject).

Anyway, the dealership explained they have a dent guy that comes by once a week specifically for dings and he would normally charge $75 which would have been worth it.I highly recommend you check with a local dealership if they have such a service. My car looks a million times better after I picked it back up. All I can see now is a tiny spec if I look really hard and that was when I remembered where it was, now I can't see anything in my vista blue.
