Or just fill?

the 3M kit is great because it includes a drill ready backing plate and appropriate sanding discs for cutting through serious damage. most of the other kits don't give you enough abrasive. if you have an actual polisher, you'll have a better time - drills aren't really meant for that work, but most people have a drill and it's good enough.
you don't need any prep other than a clean and tape off with the 3M kit. but if you're working with a kit that doesn't have adequate abrasive, you can absolutely source what you need.
