Lanoguard on the SN

Lanoguard have clearly nailed social media marketing because long before I had any intention of rust proofing the SN95 I knew who they were and all of the advantages of their product as a result of facebook and instagram adverts.

My SN is fairly low mileage and hasn’t had a particuarly hard life in terms of winter driving I dont think as its pretty clean for a 26 year old car. I want to keep it this way but I also have quite a bit planned for it and I hate working on cars with gloopy underseal. Taking this into account and also a few customers asking about underseal options (we can also do a raptor seal type treatment, its more involved though), I thought I’d give it a go.

If you’ve not heard of Lanoguard then this is what they say..

Very low prep, quick DIY application, minimal mess. A lasting, jet-wash resistant and eco-friendly barrier coating that stays in place and stops salt, grit and moisture in their tracks.

Trusted by thousands of vehicle owners across the UK and Ireland. Sourced and made in the UK by our friendly family business with eco-friendly, natural and products.

It’s one simple kit with everything you need to do the job, including the tools to apply it. Very quick to apply, with full instructions.

I started by getting under the car to give it a jet wash, I went both way rounds to get into everything I can. If I do this again I need waterproof overalls!

As I said, this is fairly clean, I imagine this being a longer job on a daily driver.

Next I got it on the ramp and gave it a good dry off with the airline and checked for any loose rusty bits. Generally giving it a check, tidy and clean, degreased any oily bits, that sort of thing.

I went over any edges or bits that look prone to rust with the grease on a brush, then went over the underside with the spray. I used a shield around the brakes when I got to those bits. It smells like sheep farms which isn’t unpleasant if your into that sort of thing (Its made from Lanolin, a byproduct of wool production).

Lanoguard say

It reaches its final state around 7 to 10 days after application. Day 0 it is “oily” day 3 “soft” and final state is dry to the touch, but you know something is there. Like a candle to feel. Maybe a little softer. It dries to a clear / transparent semi satin wet look and stays that way for some months eventually dulling a little. But always stays clear; and of course, you can jet wash it to clean it back to how it was when you put it on. It is best to not drive the vehicle for 24hours to let it get through the first part of the curing process.

So I’ve left it overnight so far. Its tacky to the touch.

So far I’m pleased with how it looks, I’ll update this with some more pics and info once its been on the road a while.
