For yours I'd probly use bondo body filller first, then glazing putty. Bondo-glass goes on like chunky peanut butter. I just slathered it on in there, then made it smooth and a bit high. After sanding it down to a flat surface, all that was left was pits and grooves ( or so i thought, i should have used some bondo too because it looked different then it was). Glazing putty is made to make a completely flat surface. Bondo Body filler is meant to be worked with.

dude.... don't use a file... Sand paper.

On mine, I used bondo-glass which is bondo's fiberglass repair stuff. For yours, you've already got stability, but you need to fill in the gaps and build up some areas. I'd recommend bondo body filler and then some glazing putty. You can get it at your local auto store.

Also, when you sand, you can get a flat surface by using a flat sander. It's a hand-tool that you wrap the pre-cut size sand paper around. For working with the curves, use a sanding sponge. When my sanding sponge wore out, i just started wrapping sand paper around my sanding sponge. It's worked for every sanding project since then.

You can buy this one for your Hyundai Santa Fe IX45 2012-2017 Android Car Stereo https://smarty-trend.com/hyundai-san...head-unit.html. This is probably one of the best options you can buy today. It costs a little less than the original car stereo, but I like the quality much more. Since the user-friendly interface, quick response to clicking, a lot of features, processing audio tracks is great, the ability to install additional applications as well is.
