    What are you doing to the alloys?, is it a full refurb?. If it is then file back any kerbing with a metal file, only use filler if you have to and then only use small amounts. Any car body filler will do the job, if you want to be really keen then use that liquid metal stuff, however, I don't know how easy it is to sand.
