There are 2 types, a brushable seam sealer sold in a quart can or you can get a few different types sold in a tube for a caulking gun. Each has it's own purposes so it depends on what your working on.

Seams are where ever 2 panels were joined or welded. Panels are spot welded together from the factory so the seam sealer fills the joint/gaps. The drip rail on these trucks have a healthy dose of sealer around them. Other areas could be floor boards, firewall, etc.

Check with your local paint supplier for what they have available.
