Only one ah.. you are again very lucky... I pretty much gave up on mine in terms of getting upset each time I see a dent from someone opening their door and banging into mine.

The passenger side is now filled with at least 5 dings, not counting the one where someone actually has their whole door scrape into mine... sad.gif cry.gif sad.gif cry.gif I can tell because it was at a time when I have not washed my car and I can see where it scrapes off the dust/dirt. Sigh... Sakit hati....

Cost too much. Well, at least too much for what I can spend on now. There were some minor hail damage as well, not very visible until you actually spend time looking for it. About 6 months back, I took it to a body shop that does paintless dents/dings repair and it was going to cost about US$500 to US$600.

I feel that someone is still going to bump into my car with their door after I get it fix so until I can find a way of preventing or catching the culprit, I wasn't going to spend the money. What I thought about was installing cameras to record these *no good SOB* and make a claim to their insurance each time it happens. tongue.gif

I've got some pictures back on the first post but not any new ones. When I moved ISP, my website went offline but I got it on a different host now so it's back. I need to wash and detail my car before posting additional pictures. smile.gif

I have not had bad tar stuck to my car but I use clay to remove the normal grim/tree sap/etc. Check my post on the first page on the claying process. You should be able to buy it from auto stores.

egiewan has this to say on Autoglym Intensive Tar Remover. You might want to give it a try too.
