    Not sure I have seen this here before, so figured I would share.

    When u get small paint dings/chips from rocks, the kind hard to touch up do to there size, I have a 10 second solution. When I dry/quick detail my truck I keep a a white wax and fill pencil in my pocket and a microfiber towel.

    If I find any offending chips, I simply fill and buff. It takes seconds to do, and there is no waiting for paint to dry and no humps/bumps from unlevel paint blob. Holds up to power wash etc. if you ever wanted to paint later you can remove easy enough with rubbing alcohol and microfiber

    I have used the blend and fill to fill nail holes on Azek style outdoor trim, and they last for years.

    Oh look, another mod....
    Great job. I wish they had a Voodoo Blue wax to use as an easy fix. Paint Pens can be kinda pricey, and I need to fix two spots on my truck. One is on the bumper.

    It’s a white minwax blend and fill pencil. U can get them at Home Depot/lowes etc in the paint/stain department.

    Is the minwax a putty?
    Thanks, may be a dumb question, but is the minwax just a putty and then the pencil is used to color?
