dent removal

So i put a little indent in the f/passenger door back in the winter ( i drove through a pile of snow, and to my surprise hit a chunk of ice )

i bought that Pop's a dent kit from walmart which didnt really work, but to its defense that could be because i didnt pre heat the side panel with a hair dryer first.

anyone here hVe better luck with pops a dent? or know how to remove a dent from the bottom quarter pannel on the front passanger door??? thanks for any help!

This does not work. I have an impression where it looks like someone leaned up on the car (years ago???) with a wallet in their pocket. No crease, just a minor pushed in. So I thought I would try it. But unfortunately, it was too easy to be true....maybe the Legends panels are too thick (high quality) to be fixed by this method. FYI-it did not damage the paint which is good
