Get the right filler from Eastwood. You need a filler compatible with SMC. Otherwise, the shit will fall right off. Put it on in thin layers and let it fully set. You really need the stuff to off-gas thoroughly so it won't bubble the paint.

I would use sand paper to smooth out the high spots in the clear coat. Feather it in, so to speak. For this, I would use a 600 grit and then 1000 grit to smooth out scratches.

Respectfully, Andy....

Repair the hole with fiberglass, even the SMC compatible filler won't last. And it's not made for filling holes.

Sand the car with 220 then go over that with 320 or 400.
You need something rougher for the primer to bite into.
400 is the lightest I would go with.
600 will take you FOREVER to do one stone chip.
Bodyshops do not use 600 for prep.

That's why compounding won't work, the surface will be too smooth.
