Lanoguard rust prevention
Discussion
I'm also interested in Lanoguard, primarily because it looks very easy to use. The car I was thinking of using it on, a BMW e46, has a reputation for rust in 2 main areas - the wheel arches and the jacking points. The Lanoguard website suggests that a pressure washing them, giving them time to dry, followed by liberal dose from spray bottle and you are protected for at least 6 months.
Maybe the spray Dinitrol is just as easy?

Update on the rust prevention
Products used, Dinitrol cavity wax and the extension 4 way spray extension wand thingy. Lanoguard underbody and chassis care kit. I think i spent about £130 on products.
I brushed the dust etc off the chassis and as the chassis rails are massive i hoovered them out, there was a fair amount of Texan dust in there.
As the truck hasnt been in the country that long the prep was low and just need the floor brushing off.
Door cards removed so i could treat inside the doors
The dinitrol was applied to the inside of the doors, inside the wings and inside the quarters where i could. The dinitrol extension wand jobby is a great little tool for £4. I applied dinitrol to the inside and outside of the chassis rails.
I opted to use the lanoguard on the floor of the car as i wanted something as clear as possible. I wanted it clean and not gunked up.
The lanoguard comes with a trigger spray so its easy to apply, i applied it to the fllor, diff, springs , spring hangers, trailing arms etc. You know its there but you cant really see it. It just leaves a clear waxy feel to the metal. I used about 1 .75 litres of lanoguard. I'm expecting to re cover the lanoguard yearly , but im ok with that.
Oh, i also applied lanoguard to inside the door shuts by the hinges and all edges of the bonnet.

I've just popped a post in the Bodywork section asking re Lanoguard and similar
Looking to underseal/protect my Jap import BMW E39 touring as best as I can; it's already rust free and I want to keep it that way

Sounds like what you've done (bar thr insides of the doors) is about the same as I'm looking to do

Very similar here for me palMaybe the spray Dinitrol is just as easy?
Bar it's a Jap import BMW E39 touring I'm looking to protect the best I can

I think I'll give this a try on the Mustang which is unprotected. The finish looks what I need and it looks a cinch to apply

Hi, came across this thread whilst looking into Lanoguard and just wondered if those that tried it have any updates on how it has performed over the last few months?
I’m looking for something relatively lightweight and translucent to protect new spring packs and chassis components on a pre-war car where everything is visibly exposed. So Dinitrol, waxoyl etc which leave an obvious ‘finish’ are not really appropriate. I’m less worried about longevity than the subtlety of the rust protection and Lanoguard sounds like it may fit the bill in providing a clear waxed look.
Any reviews or thoughts from those that have tried it would be gratefully received. Thank you,

Re - Lanoguard.
I genuinely think it’s snake oil.
Used it extensively on two older cars two years ago . Yes it goes on easy , stinks like hell .
Doesn’t even last a year ( I put plenty on).
I think they are miss selling this, stating it’s “long lasting” and “20 minutes to do”
12 months of nowhere near long lasting and to do the job properly with prep it’s at least half a day if not a full day after arch liners removed , jet washed and allowed to dry etc.
It’s not a job you want to do every 12 months so I think other now products are better suited to vehicle rust protection.
Bilt Hamber or dinitrol appear better and long lasting

I believe it's just wax, no rust inhibitors. For that reason alone I'd stick with Bilt Hamber and Dinitrol.
Totally agree, Bilt and Dinitrol are much better products!!The Lanogard ad makes me smile, whack the s

Other products I have used previously have remained in place and protected for years and years.

t on - all over rusty springs etc. and @hey' by magic you have stopped the rust......the product then wants another application in a years time.

They are probably better products if you are prepared to do all the prep required. If all you want to do is jet wash the underside and then apply the treatment, then the lanolin products are better than nothing. As well as Lanoguard, there's Alphalan that HubNut has used a number of times on his YouTube channel.The Lanogard ad makes me smile, whack the s

You got this one also https://www.buzzweld.co.uk/chassis-guard-lanolin-o... smells very much like Linseed oil although states Lanolin , a customer supplied some for application very easy to apply but time will tell

Can't see how to apply, their link to a pressure sprayer is broken
