any way to get out small dents?

I used to park my car in my drive way where there was a big oak tree overhead. One day I noticed that on the hood and the roof of my 2K2 max there were a bunch of small dents and a bunch of acorns near the dents. The darn acorns falling almost 100 feet are making dents in my car!!! The dents are small and they are not dented in deep, just enough so that the curvature of the hood is flattened out a little. Only at a certain angle can they be seen. My question is, is there any way I can pull them out a little bit? I was thinking that maybe even a suction cup or something like that might work. I know some of you guys are gonna want pics of the dents but it would be difficult to get good pics of it because they only appear with the right light and angle. Thanks guys.

PDR would get them, at about $60 per panel...you could try parking in the sun, then putting dry ice on the dents - I've heard of that fixing smaller dings...even just parking out in the sun for awhile.

Look for a ding king or Dent Doctor business to fix these little dings without having to repaint.

I happend to be at a BMW dealer one day while a DENT WIZARD guy had just pulled up to take a ding/dent out of a 330. He hooked up laser equipment to the door and with a rod went right behind the door and pushed it out...He was there for like 10-15min...Came out great.. I would go this route.
