My Q has some small dents around the side of the door. What is the best way to fix them? Should I remove the door panel and try to push them out or go see a dent doctor at the dealer?

Thanks.

I'd go with professional help on this one... I've tried to rub out dents on other cars with little or no success...

Its cheap too.... My grandparents have a showroom quality cadillac they stuff in a "2 car garage" (supposed to be 1 but 2 cars will fit if you squeeze)..... They had one whole side (2 doors) with hundreds (literally) of little dents, and it only cost like $100 or so.... Id call your nearest dealer (not necessarily nissan/infiniti), and ask them where they send that type of thing.....

Go to the dealer - Ask to be introduced to the guy who removes dents from the used cars.

Those guys are magic - I've watched them in action many times, and it's the most amazing thing.
