A factory galvanized body is plated after forming. The corners, edges of the panels, bolt holes and the parts that are covered and mate with other parts are all protected, even if the paint rubs off. Take a look at how the body panels are atached to the car and each other. These are the places where water sits and rust starts, not the exposed flat surfaces that get waxed all the time.
