  If your car has got small dents and little scratches here and there... Is it still worth it to spend $150 - $200 to polish it? Or is it better to use the money to go remove the dents and scratches?

  My colleague used to wash his vios religiously every 2 days, but after it got scratched by a vandal, exhaust got hit by curb, dents here and there, he happy to just wash it once every 2 weeks. Somehow the pride for his car is no longer there.

  Remove the dents first or go for another coat of paint, as new year is coming.

  if U go to workshop and knock back the dents with paint touch-up...it includes polishing of the worked area to blend in with the rest of the car.
  
  depending on the condition of ur car...U can even work out a package with the workshop.

  Don't waste your time & money, bro. Cars will surely get dents and scratches over time. Unless very bad and cannot stand then do something about it. Otherwise, when you sell your car, nobody will care about them. I just sold mine, and I had a bad scratches on my front bumper which I painted over myself (so amateur DIY quality), the dealer couldn't be bothered, didn't even ask questions. Same price.

  polish onli needs to do once a year...those type juz use wax make it shine...no need go do...waste $$...actuali polishing iz actually scrapping off the top layer of paint to show the nice underlying....so if scratch too deep...can't do....touch up paint n repair small dent wun cost much unless veri bad...but if realli dat bad....u wld naturally go do it mahz...unless u dun mind driving a car wif big dents...small ones can ignore if u dun mind
