just get dent devils to do it, ok they may be £50 a dent but at least they know what they're doing and wont crack your paint

yea we use the dent man !
40 per panel no matter how many dents so if you have a few dents in 1 panel works out quite good

the sucer things will only work on big dents, and don't really get a smooth finish, you can see ripples in the paint usually where the dent has been.
Dent removal man is the best option, and they usually have very high standards, so want to get the dent out fully so you can't see it.
