wax coating

[Wylie Bean]

No cosmoline ( or anything else for that matter) applied to the car's
finish except for an easily-removable static-infused plastic that
leaves no residue whatsoever.  That has almost entirely given up its
position (at least with Audi) in favor of Tyvek/cloth fabric coccoons
that are removed and discarded at PDI.

The "wax-dip" portion of the assembly process is not only meant to
fill body cavities for rust prohibition, but it also evacuates those
same body cavities of water left over from the assembly process as
well.

no cosmoline used on the motors anymore either.
