try this, take a hair dryer, set it on medium. heat the area until its fairly warm to touch, the put a chunk of ice on it and press from behind. if the dents are fresh less than a week or two old, the sudden warming cooling cycle along with some pressure on the back will often times casue the dings to pop out with no visible damage left.

We just got major hail damage here. My DSM got creamed.

PDR(paintless dent removal) is awesome. You cant even tell the dents were ever there. All of the PDR guys came and set up their tents after the hail storm. Talk to you local bodyshop about it. See if they can do it.

It is expensive though. For a car thats got hail dents all over it is most of the time aroud $2000.

Did you have full coverage?
