Angry Got a really small dent on my car

Its really really small and can barely even be noticed but it really bothers me. How can I manually fix it? Is there any way at all or is taking it to the shop my only choice? I know I should've provided pics but I don't really have one and my phone camera is messed up.

will this method work? I read about this somewhere online too

it wouldn't hurt to try, if you can afford a $50K car, i'm sure you can afford a 4 dollar experiment.

but the compressed air method work best on a dent that is large and obtuse. since yours is on a crease... it would be a lot harder and I doubt it'll work.

yeah its not on a crease, its just two small quarter size dents. Ones above a crease and ones below. I was mistaken again lol

Sounds like PDR is your only option to remove these.

PDR is definitely a good idea.

Since the dent is not that deep, with PDR, your frame will be "normal" again.
