this is the one I got.
get one with both pullers. I also liked that it had a lot of tabs.
seemed to be a good

it does work.
getting the glue off can be a pain and getting the glue to stick was a pain at first.
let the tabs soak like it says
use fresh alcohol. mine was old and I was spending 10-15 minutes getting the glue off. fresh made it better.
be very very careful. pulling the dent too much is very easy.
I practiced on my BMW. wife hit it so its going to body shop anyway. first 2 I pulled too much. also may have used too big a tab.
the thing that does suck is you have to pull a little bit then remove it and then try to gauge how much pressure you can put on it to pull it.
I started working on the BIG dent. I have a slide hammer I was able to make work and I got the door dent out so it does not look as bad.

on the 930
I pulled a very small dent in the front hood, cant see it anymore
I pulled a small one on the side where a screwdriver flew up and hit the car when my daughter ran over it. cant see that one either.
started on the rear deck lid. BTW, anyone EVER seen a deck lid that did not have pressure dents from people that do not know how to close them?
got one or 2 out but pulled another too much and/or used too big a tab. BTW, they look worse if you pull them too much. then plastic punches came in handy. did not think they would.

this thing takes skill and a LOT of patients. if your day is starting off bad do it another day.

some cars and dents are easier than others, the main one I wanted to get out on the 930 was a small ding on the top of the fender, of course I can see when driving. pulled on it 7-8 times at least. it did not touch it at all. I decided to leave it for now. others come out easy.
watch the metal from a low angle to see how it moves.

the info I found on the glue sticks said colors where for temperature, another place said for makes of cars.

it does get frustrating when the tab wont stick and then you cant get the glue off.

PATIENTS AND A LITTLE AT A TIME!!!!! use tabs smaller than the dent.
