Hey all! I`m a detailing noobie that`s been doing research lately but still in need of knowledge. My summer project is to do a complete detail of my 04 Altima. It takes quite a beating yearly since I live in the city (no garage only street parking).
Here are some pictures of what needs to be done:
Rear bumper repair:

Left side rear passenger door dent and minor scratch (there is paint underneath the black scratch)

Front Bumper (noob parkers) Flaws are kind of hard to see but I can feel an unsmooth surface even when I clayed it.

Interior annoyance:

Firstly, I need to do some body work repair. Any suggestions? Do I need body filler for the bumper? Is it worth getting a new bumper and have it professionally done?
The front bumper isn`t so bad I think I can sand it down and polish it.
Not sure what I can do about the side dent. I saw a video where someone used an air duster canister and hairspray to remove the dent.

As for the interior, I am stuck on this one. I tried using tide-to-go pen on the seatbelt stains but it makes it worse. It stains it rather than removes it. Wowzers.
Any help would be appreciated. Please don`t flame me lol.
