Bondo is how its spelt, and I agree w/ Nutmeg, take it to a shop, if its not a super bad dent/ding, it can probably be fised with PDR (Paintless Dent Repair) otherwise they will take the fender off and hammer it out smooth like stock and repaint the whole fender, but usually they will want to repaint part of the bumper, hood, and door to "color match" it all. It will cost some money, but the end result will look better than DIY Bondo.

yeah, unfortunately the dent on my door is just way too sharp to be helped by this method.

this only works on lite dents and large, shallow dents. its worth a shot though, it will only cost you a hair dryer and a can of air cleaner.

Bondo work is really an art. My past two cars both have had it done too them and they were fine months later. It was done by my dad, who fixes cars now that he's retired. I wouldn't advise doing it yourself unless you've had experience.
