Have any of you seen this and given it a go?

Looking online for some cheap and easy solutions to removing a couple of Pringle lid sized dents on my car I came across this:

There are a few videos.. some of them the guys are trying to 'pop out' small stone/hail dents which Im certain would never work, others are also trying on creased dents and angled surfaces with no result as you would probably expect... but on larger dents it seems to work quite well.

The dents on my car are on flat areas of the panel and about the size of a Pringle lid as mentioned but without any real creasing so I'm hoping there is a good chance of it working.. going to give it a shot tomorrow using pipe freezing spray you can get from Wickes or other good DIY store.

Would be good to hear from anyone that might have seen this done or tried it themselves.. I'll let you know how it goes.. maybe do my own video....

I've got a shallower one on my passenger door a similar diameter to that, got to be worth a good if nothing else.

Why not just try one of those suction pullers on it first? If no crease it might well pull out that way.
