Think its P40 - which is the general car body filler. Its sometimes called easysand as well.

Can always use some stuff called Dolphin to fill any really small imperfections. Its just a very fine filler.
Also use high build primer if you are painting them. If you are trimming them, the finish doesn't have to be perfect as the fabric will cover any small imperfections

right lets clear this up for you...
Fiberglass and Filler are two different products. Filler is what you need as you want to rub it down with different grades of paper to get the finish you require...
The lower the number of the paper the corser the grit..
e.g.
p40 is very rough
p180 is good for finishing off a filler repair ready for high build primer..

Thats quality stuff..

If your painting them then yes the finish needs t be spot on but if your trimming just get them smooth, i wouldnt worry too much about finish
i just used easysand filler then a bit of filler primer, i trimmed mine so finish didnt need to be perfect
