So much pressure inside the dent. And the area around is quite wobbely. Some improvment by a smaller more defined dent. Attachments:

Think I shoot myself in the foot with this challange. I got the oil can effect but as soon I pushed I got shoulders. But when I knocked the down, the whole area went down. This was hard, way to hard.
Tried to vibrate the dent with 100 knockdowns and spiral pushes but the core of the dent was rock solid. Opened the dent up but it went crazy. Will continue tomorrow.

Good times had a few hail jobs this season with big deep dents like that. Almost all started with a small glue tab just to get the bottom moving. It helped a few of those took time and required wet sanding to finish out. It is very tough to get them to come up perfectly clean.

I never got my black plague smooth tab as they are not yet avsilable in Europe. My Keco tabs will never pull so hard. But I will try out the method even if I doubt that I can pull harder than I can push. And I pushed really hard yesterday.

Do you have a mini lifter? If so try this if the metal is flimsy. Take a dime size tab glue it next to the dent about a inch or two away, put the mini lifter on the tab and turn the knob on the lifter to put pressure on the metal. Then push the dent. Not every dent is the same, sometimes we have to use every trick in our arsenal.

You must master the ability to not only watching your tool tip make the push, but also the ability to watch what the colors of the dent (visual cues - video) are doing, Think of a dent as just a big low. The visual cues are the same,

The visual cues are the same, I had to go on due to this dent was to difficult and I only made it worse. It was no waste of time! I did a good experience to detect how the metal was excausted and flimsy. I am doing sharp golf boll dent, creases without problems now, including under braces. And I can now also use a vinyl cap which makes it faster and cleaner, without have to knock down. I could do small hail I guess if we had any LOL. I will go on with the same in vertical position as soon I get a door. I am already at my target level and will soon be able to do door dings etc. Before any advanced PDR I need more practise and also work on real cars. This is fun

This repair was 80-90 % with my no-name tools. My PDR finesse has not arrived yet: Edit: it was 100% with my new PDR Finesse. Attachments:
