Came out pretty clean, used some Turtle rubbing compound to remove the scratches on the truck thanks to work parking lot... then used turtle wax
came out quite clean
dat ass
now for the dings, these small ones were from the time my sisters borrowed the truck to go biking at a park nearby and they dropped one of the bikes, I don’t know what they were doing
and this one, from that time some jerk punched my truck. I went to a local body repair shop and I should’ve known they were going to be expensive when I saw the BMWs. They were at least professional and I just asked for a quote. The guy showed me how they ensure they get the correct paints, showed me their large spray booth, a couple examples of their work on a just repaired Audi TT and BMW 5 series (no joke, couldn’t tell they were fixed). The quote was over $2,000 which I’m obviously not going to do but he also told me they would replace the tailgate, badges, etc. and they don’t use tape or Bondo or “any of that metal filling crap.”
Best way to remove these suckers, preferably for 1/10th of that price?

Are there scratches with those? Maybe a PDR guy can get them out decently.

Only the top one on the tailgate has a scratch

Doesn’t hurt, see if someone with PDR experience can touch them, they’ll be upfront about what they can do. Probably $60/dent or something like that.

might be able to push those out if you can get to the other side of the metal... mostly at least
one on top of tailgate probably not tho

For the dents, I’ve had good luck with one of those little dent puller things. Buddy bought one of Ebay for $10 and we tried it out on my car. It works well enough for the cost.
It was wasn’t as fancy as this one, but it’s the same principle.

PDR. Might not get the ALL the way out, since the two are right on the body lines, but it will look better than it does now.

From my personal experience, PDR will get those out. It’ll cost at least a couple hundred.
