I had the paintless dent removal guys come out today and have a go at the Lincoln and a couple of our other daily drivers as well. Simply amazing is all I can say. It's like watching a magician/balloon animal artist at a birthday party. These guys do magic right before your eyes!
In a matter of minutes the father and son duo had all the dings and dents out of the Lincoln that my father had made over the year by storing his lawn mowing tools on top of, and leaning his shovels/rakes/axes against and even opening other cars' car doors into.
The son worked on the Lincoln as he arrived in a separate truck before his dad did. He removed around 90% of the dents. Some of them were in areas that there was body filler evident so he couldn't do anything about those but what they did remove was astonishing. He finished so quickly, that when his dad arrived a half hour later, I had him attack a hood and fender ding in my son's daily driver and then two giant dents in the hood of my father-in-law's 2019 Honda (that we just bought for our daughter) that was the result of him running over a mailbox a year or two ago. The dents were so deep that the he said there's no way he could remove them...and then proceeded to remove 95% of them and shrink the metal back up into place so now it looks no worse than a factory flaw. Simply amazing.

I can't say enough about these guys. True artists. I was genuinely sorry I didn't have more cars for them to work on at the time. (my daughter currently is borrowing my wife's car until the Honda is registered, and was an hour away so we couldn't get that worked on.)
Next up is getting the paint detailed/buffed out by someone who knows what to do with old single stage paint jobs. Any recommendations?
