Anyone know the best type of filler to use for filling tiny holes and dents?

Any recommendations?

Cheers

Filler is NOT to be used for holes , only dents
I use "Isopon" mostly
"plastic padding"is good quality also
(as they say on the BBC, other good filler is available :grin:)
The cheap stuff of the market or from the discount car shop is POO and a false economy , it flakes ,chips , cracks,soaks up water (causing more rust) and is horrid to rub leaving "pin holes", it also sinks causing that "ice skating ring" look .

for small holes you require p40 from isopon or simular as for dents use aliumium filler then go over with a fine filler to finish
