Try using dry ice to fix it, if the dent is very small. Place dry ice directly into the middle of the dent (do not use your bare hands) for about 30 to 60 seconds and see if the dent pops out.

2
Use a hairdryer and an air duster. Apply the hairdryer to the dent for about a minute. Quickly spray the air duster onto the dent for about 10 seconds. If the dent is small enough, it may pop back out.

The dry ice method really works even for bigger dents. I bought two different dent removing kits (including the one listed above) and they both failed miserably with the smallest of dings. The hot glue either didn't work well enough or worked too well and permanently bonded the tool to the car. At best there is always residue that can't be removed. -
