Did anybody try using any of these methods to remove small dents on a car?

I have heated up dents with a heat gun and then sprayed them with cold water to remove the dents successfully

I'm not sure but I was told that you do not directly hit the dent area with the heat gun, I read somewhere that you should use something like aluminum foil wrap, hold it behind the dent and apply the heat, after 5-10 minutes of heating or maybe less quickly spray and coat the area all around the dent. This should work perfect for the small and simple dents that have no crease or sharp points. It works for my EK!

You can use either a hair dryer or heat gun, the heat gun will work faster but can harm your paint if you directly aim it for a certain spot, after this you will spray the area with CO2 or for instance I forgot what it was but you grab a can of air duster, flip it upside down and spray the area, the dent/metal will contract with the hot and coldness, they will pull against each other, popping out the dent!
