Woke up to this!!! So mad...
Why do people tend to do this? How hard is it to open your doors without banging / dinging other people's cars? My car isn't even a month old yet and I see this!!!
 This is on the front passenger side. Any way this can be fixed without taking it to the body shop?  |

Ugh that type of stuff drives me nuts, whenever im in a tight space i make every effort to open my door slowly with my hand on it. It seems like a basic courtesy to me, but many many drivers seem to disagree. Try buffing it out, i cant tell if its down to the base coat or not. GL.

Its hard to tell but is that a dent? If so, I've used 'Ding king' to pop out dents in a few of my older cars. I dont know if they sell it anymore but it worked for me since the paint wasn't chipped or cracked.

is Ding King similar to Dent Doctor? I can't see the base paint (maybe bad angle), but it is a bit rough. I think I can get it buffed out; however I'm not sure about the dent. Can definitely try though...

My only comment is I walk further to give myself better odds on this sort of thing. The other thing I do is to park where there is nobody on the right of me (up against an island or something). Most cars have only 1 person so with nobody on the right, nobody is opening a door towards you.

And sorry about your car, but it would have been no better if it came after 2 years. It's still bound to happen. |
