Is my tool to blunt to get the sharpness out? I guess so: Attachments:

I think I can answer the question myself. I got my PDR Finesse door tool today. With a tip that is much more defined but still not sharp and can be used left and right: Attachments:

I was able to take out almost all of the rest but not inside the bodyline itself. It is almost un-detectable and for me a good result: Attachments:

If I would go for 100% for such dents, I would go for the side panel tools hockeynut has (PDR Finesse) which is one tool per left/right and has a round side and one sharp angled side. The sharp tool would have taken out the rest, I guess, but my tool budget is very limited. It is good enough I would say and in principal undetectable.

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. Did not fully understood this method so had to do some research. And I found out that you can use whatever sutable to stabilize a side of the flimsy dent with a minilifter, a hoodproop or a wedge if the dent is under a brace. I will try the minilifter method out on a new hood I have, one of these coming days.

Tried to create an oil-can in a Renault twingo hood. Use a 4kg weight wrapt in a sock. Attachments:

This hood is very small and have braces with some kind of rubber seeling and seems to be very strong. Attachments:

Did not succed to create an oil-can dent so I tried to overpush the center as hard as I could (sorry no picture). The result was a uggle overstrecht dent with metal that is easy to do highs in. So streacht at least and a good experience for me.

Did not have time to finish it and had problems with that the rest either poped low (as in picture) or went high. Will try to continune with a sharper tool tomorrow. Attachments:

Wife went to bed early and I could continue my challange. It did not work with only a sharp tip and I had to support the metal to be able to do accurate pushes. Instead of a minilifter, I used a hood prop. Tried to mould the texture but it was hard when there where so many tiny pushmarks. I sanded with a 3000 paper. Attachments:
