sand it down with 80 grit buy some light weight spot putty(everlast is better than bondo) fill in the cracks. or sand it all down and start over with everlast dont make it thick(best method last longer). also what is cracking, what parts

Bondo is the worst. Always use a fiberglass strand based filler, applying layers at a time to compensate for shrinkage.
