Default Dents and Dings?

Ok well i know this is the wrong section but ive already posted in detailing and no one seems to pay attention to those. Well when I was at work today there was a pretty bad storm and to make a long story short by car got rammed with a shopping cart. Its not really deep but its about 2 inches long right on the front quarter panel of my car right below the GT emblem and its already bugging the crap out of me. I was looking at having it removed along with one other dent. Has anyone ever dealt with Paintless Dent Removal and is it worth having done?

If it is a crease type dent you're probably screwed and you have to take it to the bodyshop for the old fashioned way. PDR will only work with certain kinds of dents but you can give pictures of the damage to www.dingking.com and they will tell you if it is repairable by PDR.

Fortunately for me its not the crease type, and it didnt even take off any paint. It just long and shallow. So im hoping it will be fairly simple to repair. Im just alittle OCD about my car, and that type of stuff just bothers me to no end

Basically, if you put spit, or water on the scratch and goes away its only clear damage. As long as its not too deep you can buff, polish it out. make sure to use the right stuff on it.
