What is the difference between conventional repair and paintless dent repair ?

Conventional repair is when the automobile's outer damaged panel is sanded down to bare metal and different body techniques are used like welding a stud to the panel and pulling out the dent with a slide hammer. After the damage panel is roughed out smooth. There will be a skim coat of plastic filler or bondo put onto the prepped panel and sanded smooth. After that the panel has primer sprayed onto it, then the base coat and then the clear coat applied in a paint booth. Finally the freshly painted panel is lightly buffed to remove any bubbles in the clear from painting. Paintless dent repair uses specially made rods, glue tabs, hammers and knock downs to slowly vibrate the metal either from the back side of the panel or the outer side depending on the location while using a PDR light to look at the reflection of the dent.

Does PDR cause rust ?

When a PDR professional uses the PDR process correctly and uses rust protection if metal on metal action is needed then PDR does not cause rust.

Tips to Prevent Door Dings and Minor Dents

lordofthedings

March 29, 2025

We’ve all been there: navigating a crowded parking lot, hoping to find a spot far enough away to avoid the dreaded door ding. Parking lot door dings are more than just annoying. They chip away at your car’s value and your peace of mind.

As dent repair experts, we’ve seen thousands of preventable door dings and know the strategies for protecting your vehicle. Whether parking at the mall, dropping kids off at school, or heading to work, these proven strategies will help you prevent door dings and keep your car looking its best.

Spot Selection Is Your First Line of Defense

Think of parking like real estate; it’s all about location, location, location. While finding the perfect spot might take an extra minute or two, it’s much faster than dealing with repairs later. Here are strategies to choose parking spots that help stop door dings before they happen.

1. End Spots Are Your Friends

The safest bet in any parking lot? Those end spots that others often pass by. Without cars on one side, you’ve instantly cut your risk in half. Look for end spots next to curbs, medians, or parking lot edges that provide extra buffer space.

2. Distance Makes a Difference

You might have to walk a few extra steps, but parking away from the crowd significantly reduces your risk. Think about it: most drivers circle for spots near the entrance, leaving plenty of safe spaces just a short walk away.

3. Size Up Your Neighbors

Before pulling into any spot, quickly assess:

Door lengths of neighboring vehicles (could they reach your car when fully opened?)
Vehicle heights (SUV doors might swing above your protective moldings)
Presence of car seats (parents need extra door space for loading kids)
Passenger-side risks (whenever possible, park on the driver’s side of single-occupant vehicles, although it’s not a guarantee because not all drivers are careful)

4. Position Strategically

When you must park in a tight spot:

Center your vehicle perfectly in the space
Never Park at an angle to compensate for others’ poor parking
Leave equal space on both sides when possible
Consider backing in for better visibility and control

Beyond Smart Parking

Beyond picking the safest spot available, here are strategies to prevent door dings and minor dents.

Find Cover

Colorado’s weather can be brutal on vehicles. When hail threatens, seek covered parking. If no coverage is available, consider keeping a portable hail blanket in your trunk if no coverage is available. It’s a simple way to avoid needing Colorado Springs hail damage repair later.

Car covers do double duty for regular parking, especially during Arizona’s intense summer sun. They protect from weather and minor impacts.

Use Protective Products

If you’re serious about avoiding door dings and minor dents, consider adding the following:

Door edge guards (clear or color-matched)
Magnetic door protectors for temporary use
Paint protection film for high-risk areas
Removable door moldings

Skip those “as seen on TV” products promising miracle protection. We’ve seen the damage they can cause; they often do more harm than good.

Dealing With Dings? Restore Your Car Beautifully

Even with perfect prevention and care strategies, dings and dents can happen. When they do, quick action helps prevent rust and maintains your car’s value. As your trusted paintless dent repair near-me experts, we restore your vehicle to its original condition, often in just a few hours.
