    2. Wax and Sealer


      1. Wax is applied to the frontal edge of the hood, the edge of the lower part of the door, and the fuel filler lid hinge to improve rust-resistance performance. Sealer is applied to hemmed portions of the front edge of the hood, front and back door panels and fuel filler lid.

    3. Under Coat


      1. Vinyl chloride is applied to the under side of the body, inside the wheel housing and other parts that are susceptible to stone chipping damage, thus improving the rust-resistance performance of these areas.

    4. Anti-chipping Application


      1. To help prevent the paint from chipping, anti-chipping paint is applied to the hood panel.

      2. Anti-chipping tape is applied to the rear quarter panel just behind the back of the rear door to protect the paint surface from icy snow or gravel and to achieve a high level of rust resistance.
