Hair dryer will heat it enough to push back out. If you have not creased the plastic, it will turn out fairly well.

This could come out nice if done properly.. push out the big bumps first then let a shop do PDR on it or buy a kit and do it yourself.

I tried the best I can to get a pic showing the scrapes but guess not I think it turned out well all I did was use a hair dryer and then kick it out lol then went over like 5-6 times with hair dryer again but tried to push out the remaining bumps with my hands and this is how it ended up to look
