Steps

Check the paint. If it's cracked or chipped, PDR isn't the right fix.
Clean the dent with isopropyl so the glue sticks.
Set up the line board so its lines run across the dent. The warped lines show the low spot.
Pick a tab slightly smaller than the dent. Glue it to the deepest point.
Wait 30–60 seconds for the glue to set, then pull gently with the bridge or slide hammer.
Release the tab with a few drops of isopropyl. Re-check under the light.
Tap down any high spots lightly. Repeat with smaller tabs until the lines run straight.

Work from the outside of the dent inward on bigger dings.
Pull a little at a time. Over-pulling makes a high spot that's harder to fix than the dent.
Warm panels work better. Use a hair dryer on cold days. Never use a heat gun on paint.
