search for dent devils or fix a chip etc. They can remove the dent and repair the scratch. Usually pretty cheap too

it depends on how bad the dent is, it might need to be pulled and filled, in some cases you can pull the dent without filler, there are little suction pad things that you can buy to pop little dents out, if you get a picture i can advise further on it, also dont wet and dry the whole car first, try getting a buffer on it and then see how it comes out

A machine polish using various abrasive polishes, not really possible by hand if it's as bad as your description, wet flattening would also be a last resort and you would need to check the depth of clearcoat with a PTG, wouldn't recommend doing so without one.

I have successfully removed dents with Canned air (for cleaning computer keyboards etc.) and a hairdryer
