Has anyone here had any experience with PDR (paintless dent removal)? Is it easy to DIY? What are the best tools and methods in terms of cost and result?

Can anything this cheap be any good?

Is it worth dabbling with a subset of some proper PDR professional tools?

I've got 3 dents on my Prelude that I want rid of but they are on 3 different panels and that could spell £80-£100 to pay for a professional to do them. So I've been looking into the alternatives.

Is it possible to fetch dents out as a feckless idiot if the dents themselves are reasonably accessible?
