Hurt my poor polo

Today I spent 6 hours in the garage painting the engine bay & brake calipers....as I was finishing up, putting the last wheel nut on tight i knocked the shelf next to it causing a plastic case to land on my driver door, and now i've dented her! anyone got any advice? its not a large dent but its irritating, it looks a bit like when someone hits your door with theirs, kind of a line dent...i've heard of using dry ice & a hair dryer which i'm gonna try but i'm not sure it will work as its a tiny dent

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Ow, seems to be the season for bodywork knocks and dents at the minute.

Try and get some pictures if you can, might help people with their advice

Not sure if this would work but looks like a good idea

I used that method on a mate of mines car a few weeks back. works great as long as the metal hasnt creased

very clever, may have to try that, got a few small dents on my doors!

Would that work on small dents like where people open doors into you or mainly big pushed in dents?

Any dent where the metal is not creased - bigger dents it works better
