Dent, need help!

Hey i had a minor inversion with a giant tree limb in the middle of the road. I pretty much avoided it but it hit my pass side rear wheel well, its not bad at all but totally drives me nuts. I took it to a paintless dent place and they said they cant fix it cause its double paneled. I dont have the money to take it to a real body shop and have it bondoed and painted and all that. Can that inner panel be taken out or is there any company that can suck it out that anyone knows of (and no im not talking about the informercial thing) Any suggestions will help alot, sorry i dont have a cam here to take pics but its just a little ding on the fender well, not big and theres no paint damage besides a little scuff in the clear coat that can be buffed out.

The informercial states that the "Pros" pay upwards of $450 for their glue kits.....

We do have glue kits to remove dents that aren't accessible from behind. I removed 10 hail dents from the cowl panel on a 2003 Jeep CJ today with mine. The dents are gone and no one will ever know they were there. Keep checking with local Dent removal companies and see if any of them are experienced in using the glue puller. It can work very nice if they know how to use it.

Do not do what was mentioned above!! Some people have gotten lucky with the size and the type of dent and using the dent puller. If you want the car to look good, get it done correctly. I know alot of dent people that would be willing to do it for less than the shops charge, so you need to find a dent tech and ask what he'll charge to do it on the side. I "guarantee" that I can find remains of the dent on the above mentioned car.
