I would say leave it alone, you don;t stand a chance of getting a good

That may well be the best option!

I think Baz has put it very well/succinctly.

You need to get at the back of a panel to apply regular panel beating
techniques (ie completely strip & remove insulation).

Dressing out the ding would ruin the brushed effect on the outer so
expect to have the panel completely refinished, theeeeeen, refinish all
other panels to make them match the repaired one ;-).

Is there any truth in the rumour that you thought this would be the case
and are posting here to placate your other half?

Made us laugh.

IMHO take it to a bodyshop, get it filled (yes, car body filler),
refinished with the true and proper finish for white goods - paint. (Mind
the bodyshop should be able to do a pretty good match to an extremely wide
range of colours if white isn't desired.) Or live with it, dents and all.
