Can you remove a car dent with a suction cup?

So I’ve seen a lot of videos of people popping out dents in their car using a suction cup. Can you actually remove dents using a suction cup?

Yes! Using a suction cup to remove dents from a vehicle is a common and effective method! It can even be done at home, saving you a potentially pricey trip to the mechanic.
To remove the dent, you will first need a strong suction cup. You should be able to find a suction cup at a hardware store or auto shop. Once you have the suction cup, you need to slightly wet the suction cup and area around the dent to ensure you have a strong seal between the cup and your car.
Next, place the suction cup over the center of the dent and press down to create a vacuum between the surfaces. Finally, you can try pulling the dent out. This may require several attempts before the dent pops out.
If you are using the suction cup method to save some money, you should also consider downloading
