The last filler that I used was U-POL'D' Metallic Filler Paste, which I found to be excellent. For a perfect finish use a Polyester type stopper for finishing off.

I always use 3m filler- Its easy to sand and doesn't get lots of pin holes in it- go to your local paint factors not halfrauds and get what the professionals use.

I must be a novice, because I use good old P40, with a thin coating of P35.

To be honest there's nothing wrong with most fillers they are fundamentally the same, the cheaper ones can be harder to sand and if you've got a whole car to skim (a situation I've been in more than once) you're thankful for it being that little bit easier.
