does bondo come with the hardner

Yes, it comes with the hardener. You will find it when you take off the clear/white plastic lid.

Do I have to use fiberglass patch before applying the Bondo body filler? Or I can use it without the fiberglass patch on the car

Whether or not you use a fiberglass screen/cloth embedded in the Bondo depends on the job you are doing. I've seen people use this stuff a half inch thick or more without any fiber glass reinforcement. I'd definitely forgo the fiberglass with 1/4" or less. If the dent is on an old car fender that will flex some when you hit pot holes, and the dent is more than about 1/8" then fiberglass may help avoid cracking of the Bondo. Most important is drilling a grid of holes about 1/8" diameter and spaced about 3/4" apart over the area to be filled. You will push some Bondo through those holes to help lock the Bondo onto the metal. Of course surface preparation is also important to adhesion. Follow instructions carefully for that. If you do use fiberglass, be sure there is a layer of Bondo under it as well as on top of each layer of glass and work the Bondo into it well. I.e., the glass needs to be fully embedded in Bondo. Bondo does not work on things like a plastic bumper that naturally flexes (Bondo does not flex much). There are special products and procedures for repairing plastic front/rear covers.

Is this stuff water proof?

Yes it is. We used it to seal the new cabinet on our hot tub. It was recommended by the company who services the tub. No problems. Hope this helps.

Can you add color to this before you use it ?

Use a colored hardner close to the color you want or do the red/blue=purple.

This is my "go to" product for many home repair projects.

Great product that I have used for numerous projects. I have rental homes and often have major repairs to make. Bondo is my go to product. I is easy to work with(does set up quickly), fills holes, hardens quickly and lets you move on to finish your product.
