Anti-chipping Application and Rust-resistant Performance
A large body rocker panel molding assembly is used to protect the paint surface from icy snow or gravel and to achieve a high level of rust resistance.
Wax is applied to the edge of the hood panel, door lower portion, door hinge assembly and hood hinge assembly to improve rust-resistant performance.
