There is a thick wax-like film or shipping pack that is protecting the cars from the elements.

Years ago a product called Cosmoline was used to protect the cars in transit.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmoline

It was a think gummy clear wax that was sprayed all over the cars. I took a special detergent to remove it fully. My father was a pinstriper, and many times I was at dealers setting up a car and had to use some nasty solvents to get it off the body lines. Sometimes the prep guys would wash the freshly painted stripes off the cars during the cosmoline removal process.

Im sure they have a similar substance they are using now.
