    the dry ice works great for smaller creases and dents. I googled dent removal and found the dry ice deal, try searching for something that might work better for you. I've also used a toilet plunger in the past to pull bigger dents that were not creased. you can also try to get in-behind the dent and push it back, after that you would use the dry ice to get the remainder of it out.

    Good luck, take pics.
