there was a spammer. Gone now. No one answered OP from months ago. But, hey. Easiest way is just to fill the dents with bondo.

yep bondo. just hope no one takes a magnet to your car or they'll find out. haha not that bondo is a bad product or anything. but get the professional grade.

If they are rounded hail dings get a decent sized bag of ice and a heat gun or good hair dryer, you heat the dent with the hair dryer getting it hot then immediately apply ice to it to cool it rapidly, the metal will contract pulling the rounded dent out without damaging the paint.

Use dry ice...you don't want to use anything to heat up the paint as it will start to flake and chip. Best way to do this (only if the dents are small like hail sized) Wait for a nice hott day. Go to the store and buy some dry ice and the right type of rubber gloves. Now this will take some time Like 20min a dent. Take a chunk of dry ice and press firmly on the dent while moving it in a circle direction..make sure to cover a good amount of area around the dent too. You just have to keep playing with the dry ice until the dent comes out. This will take a long time but it's a cheap fix for under 10bucks.
