You can try the can-o-air trick.

Get some computer/electric duster and heat up the area for a bit of time with a hair dryer then hold the can upside down and spray the area.

I think aluminium is very hard to repair. I have a damage on my front right fender one time and damn, that thing doesn't wanna move at all. My body shop guy didn't even wanna mess with it after he found out that it's aluminium. I had to buy a new fender.

There are 2 on ebay right now. One is $325.

I have used a bath room plunger on aluminium allready. Show us a pic, I wanna see how bad it is. You might be able to use a plunger, or maybe a ding king.

Aluminum is hard to repair, It doesn't have memory like a steel panel.
It has amnesia!!!
