[fraiolib]

No.

They don't come with touch up but it's available (duplicolor) at most ant auto parts store.

On a similar note, which type of touchup paint do you all prefer? In the past I have bought the little scratch fix Duplicolor. I found the rollerball side doesn't work well, and the brush side is clumsy when dealing with a small scratch. I finally broke down and bought the spray cans last week, Medium Green and clearcoat. I'm thinking with a lot of tape for overspray and a light finger, this might work better than the scratch fix in most cases. Anyone have any suggestions?

I have a rust spot seemingly from a rock chip next to my shark fin on the roof. Any tips on the proper technique to remedy this so it doesn't spread? Just fill it with touch-up paint?

And I NEVER pressure wash my truck.....

well we got the tips so that its not that much pressure it doesnt hurt your hand to hold it in front of it but that means theres alot of pressure behind it to thow the tip off but ya now im done using the pressure washer on it

A sponge, bucket of water a a spoonful of Zip Car wash is the way I do it.

I never hand wash a vehicle. Haven't in 20 years. I always spray wash and wipe down afterwards. My vehicles always get complimented and I don't have to deal with the swirl scratches people who hand wash deal with. My vehicles always look like new when I sell them.

I pressure wash mine. With a light pressure washer...no way it will cause damage. Why you ask? Living on gravel roads...there is no way i am going to sponge wash and rub all that in my paint. I go around and pressure wash everything, about half an hours worth, underneath, fenderwells, etc. then i sponge wash it....I feel i have to pressure wash it with all that gravel dust that sits on top of it.
