My wife did this to the left front on her Equinox. The latex paint came off with pre-cleaner from "the treatment", but straight kerosene would do the same. Scratch remover took care of the rest. The dent could be knocked out easily by a body shop without leaving a mark, so long as the metal's not wrinkled much, looks like yours is ok.

Just have to decide if you want to get the nick in the plastic professionally re-painted; might cost more than the dent. I've fixed small things like that before with matched paint in an aerosol can. A few grades of sandpaper down to thousand grit wetsanding with a clear coat finish did the trick, couldn't tell it was done (this was on my old '68's).
