2023 JLU Body Panel Material

[Northernlites]

Wondering what material, the hood, doors, front fenders, and tail gate panel are constructed of? Are they a composite plastic or aluminum? Tested different areas with a magnet and didn't find much it stuck too. The reason I ask is that I rustproofed cars for 22 years, and after the shop closed (1980's-90's), I kept the spray guns and a few gallons of inner panel rustproofing material. Wondering if anything besides the rocker panels will be a rust through concern in the future. We live in Wisconsin, so lots of salt and chemicals in the crap winter months. Thanks!

I believe all jl hoods and doors are aluminum.

The hood, doors, all exterior hinges, and windshield frame are aluminum. The tailgate is a magnesium structure that is clad in aluminum.
