I've never heard of anybody getting a dented crease back to 100%.

I would beg to differ. It may be 95% but I have had 3 cars done with excellent results. The Z had 2 pretty large dents right on the body line on the door and if you didn't know it was fixed you would never know it was there. There is some paint correction that needs to happen but I have seen some decently large dents removed to almost flawless.

It is a common misconception. Worth a shot. Estimates are free.

Definitely worth an estimate. But like we said (and you confirmed), it won't be 100%

Not for nothing but if you can see the rust clear like that. I would be skeptical to get that repaired with Bondo etc....

I had a small rust bubble in my quarter, after several attempts at repair. I had to have the metal cut off. Those are not new dings....
