My car looks as good as it did new... except when you get really close. The paint is still in wonderful condition, but there are dings all over my car from people opening their doors.

Some of them are minor, but about 3 go through the paint. 1 is about 8 inches long where somebody evidently rubbed my bumper backing out.

I've seen those touch up kits on tv and at the store, but I want it to look as good as possible without spending a lot of cash. What's the best approach? Do the kits work well? Should I bring to a body shop and have them look at it?
 
Those "pop-a-dent" things seem to work pretty well-might as well try it.

However, if you don't want to bother with it or if there are tons of large dents, I would recommend getting a quote from a body shop or Paintless Dent Removal service.
 
Most people are *******s and they don't give a **** about their car so naturally they don't give a **** about yours. I hate those ****ers. I still haven't had all that time to drive my car around that much but I know I'll go INSANE if I find a ding, dent, scratch ect. I'll then go find that person give them a dent, scratch or ding on their car and then take a dump on it :-) Anyways to your question I would first try with a tolit plunger to see if that takes some of the dents out (I heard this worked duing the good ol'days when they didn't have those fancy dent removers) If that doesn't work then buy a dent remover and if that don't work then you have no choice but to get it repaired...GOOD LUCK!
