Door Dings and Scratches

I've had my 06 Camry for 2 weeks now and i've noticed 3 door dings and a few small scratches on it, is there a device or anything i can use to remove the door dings myself? as for scratches would a good wax help?

Mequire's Scratch X seems to work pretty good for minor surface scratches. If they're through the paint you can use touchup paint to fill the scratch, then wet sand and buff the area.

As far as paintless dent removal goes, I'd have a professional do it. I've done it before and it can be difficult. They can make it look perfect.

I tried the Ding King once, and it didn't work.

They rarely work. That's why they push them on television.

call a dent remover....i have a dent wizard guy in my area that charges me 25 a ding and does a fantastic job....been using him for a while now and it helps big time
as for the scratches, just do what TRD said....i usually just go over the car with scratch X then put a good coat of wax on
