What happens here

If, after the initial sanding and a first coat of paint (which is implied to have been applied off-camera before this step, as the presenter notes 'still seeing ridge lines'), there are still slight ridge lines or minor imperfections, Bondo Glazing & Spot Putty can be used. Apply a thin coat of the putty directly over these subtle imperfections using a spackle knife. Smooth it out evenly, covering only the necessary areas. Allow the putty to dry completely, which typically takes about an hour.

What they say

Hide

out those ridges. Ready? First coat on this. And I can actually see my ridge lines still a little bit. So, now I'm actually going to use some Bondo. I've got some Bondo and glazing putty right here. I'm going to smear it on there and then to attempt to hide that the ridge lines and the run a little bit better. And then we're going to sand the bondo and reshoot it.
