Door dings and scratches are common in parking lots, especially when parking in crowded o r tight areas. To prevent these issues on your Suzuki Cultus:

Park in Less Crowded Areas: Try to find parking spots that are less likely to be crowded. Even if it means walking a little farther, it’s worth avoiding the risk of door dings.
Park Away from Other Cars: If possible, park in a space that has cars on only one side o r no cars at all. This minimizes the chance of your car getting bumped.
Use Door Edge Guards: Door edge guards o r protectors can shield the sides of your car from door dings caused by other vehicles. They are relatively inexpensive and easy to install.
Install a Parking Sensor System: A parking sensor system can help you park safely and avoid collisions with objects o r other cars.
Car Door Protector Films: Consider applying clear adhesive films to your door panels to act as a buffer against dings and minor scratches. These films are durable and can absorb impacts without damaging the paint.
Solution:

Use Parking Sensors: Parking sensors can alert you to obstacles and help you avoid scraping o r hitting other vehicles.
Be Mindful of the Parking Environment: Always choose parking spots that offer more space o r are farther from high-traffic areas to reduce the chances of door dings.
