Woke up this morning to find this wonderful surprise from my neighbors. Wouldn’t have minded too much except that once I cleaned the residue off, there is a dime sized dent now on the hood. I have tried some of those pointless dent removal kits before without much luck, so I’m open to any suggestions!

motherfucker I have one of those on my rear roof from a squirrel chucking acorns; the hood would be an eyesore.

I wish I had an easy DIY idea, but I'd call my insurance to see if it was covered under comprehensive (especially since you have the photos) and take it to my body shop. In NorCal I have a great one that I trust so anything like that goes to him.

You should contact a Paintless dent repair professional. Some are mobile. A pro will make that go away like it was never there in a few minutes in your driveway. Good luck.

That looks to be a very shallow dent. Given how small it is and it's location, if it were me, I would see if I could remove the heat insulation on the underside of the hood and gently push out the dent from the underside.

Thanks all. I got a recommendation for someone who is highly recommended, will call them when we get back to town. I will check the underside too as gfeiner97 suggested, can’t hurt to take a look.
