get some really big rock and everytime the kids try to open their doors just knock them in the head with one and they should learn pretty quick, for the light scuffs you might be able to have them buffed out and and get some dupli-color and the small nicks, the dings im not exactly sure what to tel you it really depends on how bad they are, i know how you feel somehow i have ended up w/ 5 dings in my passenger door

just dont press down too hard and dont stay in one spot. keep light pressure on buffer between 12 and 3 o'clock and use the proper compound

i have heard that dry ice can get small dents out but i am reluctant to try it for fear of doing it wrong. I don't know anyone who has actually done it.

yeah thats exactly why i havent tried it yet. i have a couple small dents on the roof i might try it on.

EDIT: there were two guys driving down my street today and they owned a dent repair shop and had been driving around leaving flyers on doors and i happened to be outside and i asked him if the dry ice works and he said it can IF you know exactly what you're doing but otherwise he said it can crack the clearcoat.
