English term or phrase: jams
Bonjour,

savez-vous comment traduire le mot "jam" qui se réfère à une pièce de voiture ?

"So first we're gonna wax and grease the car, wipe it down, mask up the jams, bag the bottom of the car, and then last, once the motor cools down, we'll set the hood on, wipe it off and it’s ready to spray it."
