    2. Anti-chipping Application and Rust-resistant Performance


      1. Wax is applied to the edge of the door lower portion, door hinge, and hemmed portions of the hood panel and luggage compartment door panel sub-assembly to improve rust-resistant performance.

      2. Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) coating is applied to the wheel housings, and other parts that are located where they are susceptible to stone chipping damage, improving the rust-resistance of these areas.

    3. Anti-chipping Application and Rust-resistant Performance


      1. Wax is applied to the edge of the door lower portion, door hinge and hemmed portions of the hood panel to improve rust-resistant performance.
