It depends on the size of the dent. Ive done this before, if the dent is kind of large, on a fairly flat panel, spray the area with water, then get a bathroom plunger and stick it on the dented area. Pull back the plunger quickly, and the dent should pop out.
Did this on my daughters 86 Camaro front fender, It worked like a charm.

You guys are messing with fire using a plunger to remove a dent. The suction force put on the plunger when pulled back could easily dent the metal in an outward way. I do PDR and it sounds like both of these were just the panel being pushed in, so you got lucky. Dents don't usually "pop" out. The garbage they advertise on TV for pulling dents is a joke and won't work so don't waste your money on those items
