The MEK is the activator that you'll use when you're ready to apply the material. Here are the basics.
1. Tape around the damaged area leaving yourself about an 1/8" of good material surrounding it.
2. Scuff up the area with 80-120 grit sand paper.
3. Clean well with acetone.
4. Apply your mixture of putty, hardener and color. Keep your putty as nice and possible as this will reduce the sanding you have to do once dried.
5. Once dry, use a lighter sand paper (maybe 600 grit) getting up to a 1000 grit. I really like using the 3M sanding sponges. They make a medium, fine and ultrafine that would get you by.
6. Polish and your done!
Hope that gives you an idea.

It sure does, thanks for your detailed info. Between that and youtube I should be able to fix it. I'll post the result in here when I am done.
Thanks again
