About hail damage, if your vehicle gets dimpled by hail, there are paintless dent removal services that really work. I buy niche market cars for resale purposes. Ones made of steel often have door dings and other gentle creases and such. I call THIS local travelling guy in my community called On The Mark who comes out to your house and takes care of all those little imperfections. It always costs me the same $300 to take care of the entire car. The key to his success is how well the vehicle is polished. He works off reflection for perfection. I find every imperfection when polishing the vehicle and mark each with painter's tape. I'll have roughly a dozen points about the vehicle to address. He can handle much more serious damage than I give him, hence just $300 and the car then looks show car ready. It takes him 1.5 to 2 hours.
