Hood, Roof and Tailgate = Aluminium?

Discussion of Infiniti's amazing (and underrated) sport-luxury crossovers, the EX35 and EX37. For 2014, the EX series will be renamed QX50, in line with Ininfiit's new naming conventions.

Hello All!

I had a quick question about our cars. The tailgate feels really light: is it made of aluminiun? What about the hood and roof? (They also tend to be made of aluminium when the tailgate is made of that). Any other panels?

Also, if we have panels made of aluminium, any special care we should be considering to keep these top shape? For instance, I know aluminium does not rust but does corrode. Can we do something to prevent this? Any other things I should do?

Thanks

Ice
