Default those little blemishes on your car

is anyone's car "perfect"? i know i am very OCD about trying to keep my car nice, but i keep on spotting these little dents and marks from rocks and assorted debris and they are driving me crazy. i have a friend who has a brother who owns a dent removial tool and i think im gonna go to town with it unless anyone knows of a better idea. that and just today i found a chip on the center of the back passenger-side panel where the panel meets the door. the paint is completly gone, i can see the metal (and some rust ) and i fear it will grow... its tiny now but.... :madfawk:

so should i just learn to live and love those tiny spots, or try to fix them?

Now you know how I feel. I keep trying to have a nice car, but if it's not some punk with brake fluid, it's a random rock. It pisses me off, but what can I do? I guess I have to wait for my lifted paint to start rusting....

My car gathered so many dings and scuffs and whatnot in the first couple months I owned, I totally gave up on keeping it sterling. Just live with it until you can afford both to repaint it and possibly garage it for part of the week as well. Of course, taking care of that rust now may avoid some big problems later...

try some dry ice for those little dings, if there is no crease the ding should pop right out.
