How Can I Repair this small ding ???

So I was helping out my friend cleaning his car. I parked my car right next to his, and when I opened his long ass freaking door, it slightly hit my car and it made a dent... I could not believe how small the impact was and it made a ding... You really can't tell unless you go really close to the car or in a direct sunlight. If there are no solution for this, i guess ill just drive with it...

Doubt you can fix that yourself.. sorry to see that..

you can try the dry ice trick (google it) but I doubt you can fix that by yourself!

+1 my father had a similar dent and they got most of it out. They even refunded some money because they could not give 100% satisfaction.

My experience with paint less dent guys is a good one. It’s worth a try, and it’s only going to run you $50.
