Mythbusters claimed golf balls flew farther because of the tiny divots on the suface of the ball. They applied this technology to a car via a clay overlay (a bench mark set with a smooth clay surface, weight retained by putting divots carved from the clay into a box and set in the back seat)
They did see an improvement in MPG.
So....long story to say that the tiny hail damage marks might improve mpg on a massively powered 707 HP HellCat....
Going from 26mpg to 29mpg might not seem like a lot, but in my opinion it is significant. Just like horse power, every little counts. youtu.be/VUiGhyHC-1A

Buy it, dont repair it, tell people its like the dimples on a golf ball, adds speed!

Even golf balls have dents of dimples on them to make them fly faster and straighter and farther - maybe the dents on the car work the same way :D
With the finish quality of any GM product, how could anyone tell the difference?
Then good thing its a Dodge.
Wow! Chevy makes the Dodge Hellcat no wonder it's so fast!
Might be an aerodynamic help, like the dimples on a golf ball, lol
Mythbusters actually did an episode testing that exact thing and from what I recall it didn't prove a super significant difference.
