Did they wash it before you picked it up?

Dry ice only works with older thick metal. The newer thinner stuff deforms
and that trick won't work. The modern dent folks generally use a suction gun
style dent puller. For that type of dent you usually just smooth it down with
some light hammer and dolly work.
However, if your not familiar with body work don't do it yourself on anything
other than ye-olde-rustbucket. It's very easy to mess up paint and make more
dents. Best thing for learning is a mashed up fender from a junk yard.
