I've got some cosmetic issues on an infused part that I want to repair, primarily from rough joins on a multi part mould. I want to effectively brush on clear resin to smooth the slight indentation and then sand/polish. IN2 infusion resin is such low viscosity it kind of runs away from the problem as soon as it's applied so isn't a good repair resin. What product would you guys recommend to use for this purpose please?

Something like EC's XCR coating resin should work well, in that case and it's a touch thicker than usual laminating or infusion resins. You can also use a razor blade-type scraper to trim away any excessive bumps in the cured resin which might save a little sanding time also.
