Default Paint scratches and dents!

Hey there I am kinda a newbie to this and had a few questions. Firstly, what is the easiest and best way to remove small scratches from my car? Its a black 2004 civic and seems to scratch so easily!!!!! Secondly, is there any way to get dents out of your door panels, or any other panels for that instance. These are not big dents, just those little ones that you get when the car next to you opens their door and slams it into yours!!!![:@] Any help would be appreciated! Thanks so much!

No way to get em out unless you wanna do neverending bodywork. Soon as you get them all fixed, some jerk will come along and give ya another dent.

for small scratches, you can go over to you local automotive store and get some stuff that you put on the scratch and buff away,it works great, but if you can put your fingernail in the scratch, it is going to be to deep to do that, you can get stuff thats the same color as your car that you put into the deep scratch, iv never used it before but i have heard that you can very much notice where you put it....but go for the other stuff for small scratches!

BONDO and some paint. works for my 95 civic and my 05 civic (yes i have had that car for no more than two weeks and someone has already dented it [:@] ohhh so livid) if they are not that big. try pops a dent. I use it. It looks stupid but it does work. I made my own. Its just super glue and a suction cup on a screw. If you know how make one for yourself for 5 bucks or whats around your house. I used a suction cup from my daughters toy.

Don't mean to resurrect a dead thread but I had a bad experience tonight thanks to my Dad and the dry paint he likes to leave on towels. Any brand names you guys could recommend for the superficial scratches? Much appreciated.

Zymol cleaner wax.. works great for small scratches. Its about $16 for a 16oz bottle but its WELL worth the price.
