mud..... use mud.. to fill in cracks, holes, or anything else to fix.. it also tightens it up... use it to like a filler and you can get it from pep boys or home depot or lowes.. but i get all my supplies from a distributor..

from what I know about doing glass.. the only thing that takes out waves is good old fashioned sanding.. the smoother you put it on, the less you have to do.. but there is always some that needs to be done.

Don't they have primer filler anymore? In a spray can.

Spray it, let it dry then sand it down, spray it again, repeat as many times as you like

Fills it in and primes it at the same time.
