Default Rear door ding PDR repairs

Hi,
As anybody had any experience with paintless dent removal on D3 doors?

Picked up a very shallow ding , on n/s/r door between upper crease line and chrome exterior window scraper trim, nearly half way back down door from front edge. I know strange place, low flying wheel bin lid, don't ask.....
I have seen great results on many steel cars but no experience on aluminum panels.
Not sure how access would be in this area, see attached picture.

Thanks in advance

Having one of my D2 doors done on Saturday morning by a guy who says he has lots of success with aluminium. I'll let you know how he gets on!

Had several removed from my D2 S8 a few years ago, and I could not remember where the dents had been.
