Default Removing dents?

Is there anyway to remove minor dents, or at least make them less noticeable?

I don't really know anything about detailing or repairing in the least... If someone could give me a quick answer of direct me to some literature I'd be most happy.

I've got 2 dings right about my rear tire... I've been staying in my parents house for the summer and they have a nissan armada and It appears like my 7 year old step brother just slammed the door against my back panel... In 65k miles, it's by far the most noticeable blemish on the car and it just makes me sick to look at it...

Is there anything I can do ?

meh, aside from that... I don't have that much money to spare...the dents aren't THAT deep; it's just they happen to fall on the body line of the car so it's super noticeable from a distance. There's not paint scratch on them either.

find someone that does paintless dent repair in your area. there are websites that should list them. A small ding should cost around $75 to take out, and maybe $50 for the second one. It's by far your best option.

hmmm I'll check that out. I've been searching the internet and haven't found an "official" list of any kind...and yellow pages seems to list every dealer and used trader in the area as someone who does it.

+1 on paintless dent removal. Any dealership can give you the name of the one they use. Every dealership uses them.

I would think your parents wouldn't mind helping you out with repairing the dent. I mean let's face it, it's there Armada that most likely did it and it's there offspring that was most likely the contributing factor. Show them the dent and ask them nicely if it would be ok for them to help out with paying for it.
