Every dent comes with a high spot. Before you sand it, hold it under a fluorescent light and rotate it, look at the reflection of the bulbs. Use a sharpie, mark the high spots. Any lines in the dent will have a high spot at the end. Going to the deepest part and trying to pull that isn't the best plan. Go to any crease and start there, just , dang , I Need to see i t, but, don't try to pull it all at once. The last part in, is the first part out. There is a reason why bodymen have those wide faced, light hammers. You ever lightly hold a drumstick and allow it to kinda bounce on the drum, while using your pinkie to keep it dropping with enough force to bounce again? A lot of light taps, barely moving the metal wins. And, you can rent a dent pulling stud gun and slide hammer. Much better than trying to glue nails. You Can screw up metal by sanding. You want to rip the paint off, 36 grit is what I used. 80 grit and a DA and you can warp the metal from heat. More of a problem on hoods and the roof,
If it's punched hard, you may have to heat shrink the metal.
