Default Pesky door dings..What do you do about them?

Just wondering if anyone has any "do-it" yourself tricks for getting rid of door dings..Or is the only option Dent Wizard or a company like that?

Any ideas?

If you google it, there are people out there who attempt these, but its not for the faint of heart. I would recommend using PDR from a dealer or person that uses them.

There is this "pops a dent" thing that you can try, but no idea how well that works. I would also recommend hiring a professional PDR and get it done right.
