@nealt2000. For the hole issue use fibre glass putty, you can re-lacquer parts as well, just sand down with 1500 and finer and re-lacquer. Also for the sand and polish, check pics at end of post. Lacquer brands are more shiny than others, but that`s not the only reason why you wing is dull. Plus, wing is a very small surface to reflect anything.
@civicx3. Layers don`t have to do anything. Nowadays there are anti-scratch lacquers on the market that prevent stone chips and scratches.
This is a vw passat. Customer had a job done and he wasn`t pleased with the orange peel on his car. So i sand it down with a p2000 wet, then used a p3000 on my sander to erase the p2000 lines and then started polishing.
This is what the whole car looked like
