That coating is Cosmoline, available in liquid or spray.  Most auto
manufacturers included removal of the cosmoline in dealer prep procedure.
 I wouldn't worry about it unless you're going to be storing the car in a
very humid place for a long time.  If you've ever noticed that some auto
parts have a tacky feel to them, they've probably been coated in
cosmoline, it's an excellent corrosion inhibitor.
