I don't fuck with small dings and dents anymore, if the dents are very big, then I fix them. But if I was you, if it's only hail dings and dents it's not worth the time to fix, I have allot of hail dings on the top of my roof, I was thinking about fixing but, if I am driving and it starts to hail the bondo will crack..
I also had a small dent on the side of my car, I tride to fix it and made about a billion little ones around it trying to pop it out. So sometimes it's just better to leave them alone unless your trying to make your car a showcar..
I think there is a way to fix little dings and dents without useing any bondo but I would not know..
bondo is one but like QuarterMile said hail would crack it, depending on how small you can drill them out, ding king? idk man you could go to one of those hail damage places but like ^ he said not worth all the effort

Hey guys paintless dent repair is not a bad way to go,make sure they have a good rep. There is a couple in the springs if they are'nt chasing storms.small dents we use what they call a crack torch not really but propane torch to shrink the dent. file,prime,block,base then clear. bondo is no more it is polyester filler so it expands and contracts closer to the same rate as the metal. if you had body work that cracked out u got fucked, use a good shop with a good rep. Spend the extra money, cheap is not better, paint is only as good as what is under it. Maaco sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! any questions pm me I have been in body for 20 years and do some side stuff but I am not cheap.
