Default Hail Damage

Here is the deal...I have about 6 small dents on my hood, roof and trunk. It hailed the other day and i HATE that my car is dented. they are not that noticeable but i know they are there and if you look for them you can see them.

Question: What would be a good cheap way to get them out? I dont want to spend 100's of dollars. Please help... Thanks to all in advance.

Dang i was so mad!!!

I got one hail ding in the middle of the hood of my Eclipse and though I do notice it, I realize that others don't. After this experience, I got a protective car cover for days when large hail is predicted. Problem is that those car covers are a pain in the neck to take on and off everytime severe weather is predicted. The cover does give you peace of mind for hail, but adds to more aggravation in the long run.

That must have been quite a hail storm. My Eclipse has thinner sheet metal on the hood than my Mustang or Camaro.

Maybe you can take your car to an auto body shop and see what they can do. They may have a simple way of pulling the dent out without costing you much at all.

+1 paintless dent removal would be the best bet... you wont even see them when they get done... and will cost probably 100 bucks at best.
