Yes we all learn not to click on those.

I suggest you start with the smallest of the 
easily-accessible-on-both-sides dents.  Those can often be 
reformed without paint loss, a real bonus. And you'll feel 
great after a victory!

Removing dents is a straightforward process but on autos 
dents seem to gravitate to places human hands can't reach.
