    Image of the dent for those who are interested. Maybe it’s not a shopping trolley, no idea. 
    I have since cleaned it up a little and optimistically applied some T-Cut. 
    I paintless dent removal (PDR) specialist should be able to take that out, I doubt it would be much more than £100. Try someone like Dent Devils to give you a quote, U sed them a few years ago for a couple of door dents and they made a perfect repair, only cost me £90 whereas my local bodyshop wanted around £500.

    Blimey! Just watched a vid on YouTube about this - unbludybelievable!

    How the? What the? Such teeny-tiny taps gets the surface smooth. Incredible skill.

    One thing to note, supermarkets (or whoever) cannot refuse to give you CCTV.
    They might try, but they legally have to and are only allowed to charge a 'cursory fee' for doing so (the guidelines being no more than £20)
    Are you sure about that?
    The information on gov.uk confirms my understanding that "You have the right to request CCTV footage of yourself". Note it says yourself, not your car. Data protection is all about personal data, not inanimate objects.
    Yes
    Sainsbury's even have a form you can complete requesting footage, and they ask if it's footage of you or your car.
