Can car wax or polish hide a small dent/ dimple in car door?

Question

I have a 2008 model grand prix and noticed that there are these two really shallow dents/ dimples in the passenger door. They are both less than a dime in diameter, and no damage/ scratched paint. You almost have to be looking for these little dimples to see them.

This a a rental car that I have to bring back in a couple days and I'm wondering if wax or polish will sort of fill them in so they're not noticible. They're barely noticible now actually, you almost have to be looking at a certain angle to see them but they're right next to each other so it's a little noticible.

Unfortunately there are no paintless dent repair people around where I'm at so that's a no go.

Thanks for any info.

Yeah taking the car back dirty sounds like a good idea, because I've also noticed that you can't see the little dimles when the car is wet.. so it shouldn't be noticible when it's being washed or after.

Answer 1

dirt can hid a small ding! it depends how deep it is, if it dented the paint, you may be able to hid it with some wet sanding and buffing, but be careful not to make it worse than it already is. if it is a dent in the metal, you need to either touch it up or have it professonally fixed at a reputable shop

Answer 2

If the metal is dented, then wax will not hide the fault. It may in fact, make it more noticeable. Just take the car back, if they don't see it, then don't worry about it. If they find it later, then just say it wasn't that way when I brought it in. then it is your word against theirs.

good luck.

Answer 3

No the wax will not help it will just give more notice to it, the best thing is to is to have a good body shop pop them out. if the shop is good like we were, they can pop it out with out damaging the paint.
