Default Anyone notice small hood dents?

A few months after I bought my xb I started to notice tiny dents on the front of the hood where it curves down to the grill. They have accumulated over time, Anyone else have this problem?

I see them all the time. Just part of having a car with a flat front, anything that the wind tries to force up and over hits that top corner.

I had those to but after prepping the hood for repaint I found out my car had been in a accident because the hood had bondo and the dents were actually pours from shoty body work. Funny story though... I bought the car new.

Probably was shipping damage. They are allowed a certain amount of damage and still able to sell them new. Sometimes the dealerships don't even know about it.

What's the best way to go about fixing those small dents on the hood?

Too lazy to search.

I have small dents on the hood too. You can't avoid them and in fact, I am going to get some dents out done through a professional who charges 80 a dent. Good luck and safe driving
