Anyone got an idea on how to remove this small dent? It's about .5" wide by 2" long. Wifes Grand Caravan got hit by interstate debris.

Thanks y'all

Looks like a good candidate for a paintless dent repair specialist. It's amazing what those folks can do.

Where is it located?

Yup, PDR can fix that.

That little valley to the left of the dent is the center of the hood. It's right near the edge of the hood. Driving me nuts.

What kind of price should I expect to pay for it? The scuff of the clear coat is not very deep.

The PDR guys charge anywhere from $150 to $200 per panel.

The scuff looks like a buff out with some light rubbing compound, followed by a wax and polish. Maybe an hour's work at a body shop.

So all in all around $300 - $400 which is a lot cheaper than a body shop filling, sanding, painting, clearing, etc...that small dent.

Still a lot of money for such a tiny debt. Ugh... of the stupid guy in front of me knew how to avoid crap on the road, I wouldn't be in this situation. Oh well..
