I agree some guys are much better than others. And how good they come out will depend on the type of dent and where abouts on the car it is, if its a small car park type ding in the middle of a door with nothing obstructing it from behind it will come out perfect. If its in an awkward place thats not easily accessable they will struggle more. Like everything it has its limitations

Bm's are tricky according to my mate who does this for many garages around here.
We also used the glue system which can work well if you cannot get behind.

My pet hate tho is guys who don't protect to glass and stick there bars in and scratch the glass or pimple the dent and then nib it and polish thru
