    Well, I got some hail damage today. Anyone have an experience and/or recommendations on DIY solutions?

    It is covered if you have comprehensive insurance. Most shops will cover the full repair and discount the deductible. A claim should not raise your insurance rates.

    Most folks simply live with "some" hail damage. Paintless dent repair (PDR) is the common remedy to remove minor dents, but this is an art learned through experience and requires special tools. Doubtful it is a DIY solution.

    Tried to take a few but it’s hard to tell.

    The comprehensive coverage will take care of it. Thanks for the responses!
