There's also the second link which has been around for a while, I didn't have such great results using their filler.

I'm surprised Excellence recommended using 'half-time' as it's meant to be used in very thin layers for filling pinholes in bondo as a final step before priming. And while I can accomplish whatever I wish with bondo, I to have never had great results with half-time- It cures to a VERY hard surface which makes it difficult to sand and feather. Once you break through the 'skin' it's soft and sands away too fast. It is the last thing I'd use for wheel rash.
