Lanoguard protection

[shnazzle]

Has anyone tried Lanoguard? 

When the new car comes from Japan I loathe to have to expose it to the harsh crap that's spread on the roads here. But then I also don't want gloopy disgusting black crap all over the bottom either. 

So this Lanoguard seems like a good alternative and gets good reviews. 

The MR2s would obviously also be getting a treatment. 
At 123Gbp for a large container+sprayer with a jar of their protective grease, it'll cover all 3 cars easily and seems a bargain.

´Non-evaporative (won't dry out like normal grease leaving un-lubricated or protected parts)´
seems to be the tricky part. You don´t want it to collect bits of the routes you do.
I lóved my wax cotton motorcycle gear but over time it became the ideal camo suit as dust and dirt stuck to it.

Bilt Hamber does a range of rust treatment products that treat and prevent rust, application is via an aerosol that works right way, on its side and upside down or decant from a 5L container into an applicator o&your choice.

never heard of lanoguard.

Bilt Hamber. Just good stuff.

A thumbs up for the Bilt Hamber stuff here - used it last year on my Caldina and it was a lot neater and user friendly than the other Waxoil alternatives I've tried. 

The UC clear stuff isn't totally colourless, goes on a toffee colour but hardens mostly clear.  Means you can keep an eye on anything lurking underneath.

Can't help but feel the Lanoguard is another Instascam, the sort of thing that looks great on the videos yet falls painfully short...
Feel free to be the forum test pilot, I blathered mine with Dynax last time.

Asked a question and got a lengthy reply. 

I might give it a try.
Not got much to lose.

If you have to do it every year I'd follow @Carolyn example with her rub down the rust and zinc primer approach.

Absolutely. 

If I saw rust I'd want to rub it down and treat it for sure. Regardless

Lanoguard I presume is an equivalent to Fluid Film. I use FF on my cars. It is greasy, does not dry, can be washed away with degreaser and hot water pressure washer. Easy to apply. I love it. Keeps my cars rust free without encapsulating it in black goo/traditional antirust products. Some doesn't like the smell, but it fades away quickly.

Where do you spray fluid film?
The only places where the Fluid Film has noticeably worn is the section of the frame that hangs the lowest, directly in the air/rain that flows under the truck. The inside of the frame and the floor boards look almost as good as the day I applied it, albeit dirtier as the Fluid Film does get dirt stuck in it.15 Jul 2012

As @Petrus suggested.

US truck folk favour 'woolwax' over FF - so I may give Lanoguard a go .

I put Lanoguard on one of the others a few months ago.  Was easy enough to apply, even if it does smell like sheep to me  , goes to a waxy type coating after a little while.  Can't comment on long term protection or effectiveness yet.  But much easier to use than Waxoyl.

Wouldn't have though a 2 would need a huge amount.  Probably used 1.5 litres to do underbody, top, and bottom of chassis on a Disco 3.  2 coats.

Oddly enough, it says that's one of the key issues. It's over-applied. Much like paint polish, over-use actually hampers it's effectiveness. 


Who knows. I've been watching reviews to see if I can spot any long-term pros/cons but so far only a handful and positive.

People complain about re-application, but not from people who have actually done it. A pre-whinge if you will. 

I'm still going to try it but I'll likely mix it with a hose-down if I've driven through salty roads for a while.

I'll try and stick my head under it later and see how it's looking.  It was early November I did it, so four months and I'd say ~1500 miles.

I gave the 2 some when I had the frunk plastics out too, try to keep the UL and ABS bracket etc in the best condition possible.  And intend to do the underside at some point too, just haven't found the enthusiasm yet.
