Lanoguard Protection

[PP Bear]

what was the black gear used to be able to get sprayed on the underside of cars? was it made by tetrosyl?

edit: may have been shultz or something

I’ve used this extensively on both the car and jollybus and really happy with the results. I like that the spray is easily sufficient enough to get into those hard to get corners, especially on the van.

The only negative thing is that it doesn’t do the inside of the box sections that are out of sight

, as it’s line of sight application, even though it has Waxoyl in it as well.

Surprised that a 3 year old vehicle is starting to rust.
Is it a Fiat? I thought they were galvanised.

The vans not starting to rust. It’s superficial rusting on the waste tank frame and other bits put on by the converter. Looks as if the ironwork used is steel with a thin coat of black paint of some description.

The bits I covered with Lanoguard are fine, it’s the bits I missed that are showing signs of rusting. All covered again though now.

I have only just discovered this thread and am surprised that most of you appear to be doing this job in the autumn and winter?

I always do mine in the summer when the vehicle can be pressure washed underneath before it drys naturally + the underseal is already warmer but I do dilute it slightly.

I use Waxoyl in the box sections and Dinitrol for the rest. Both are applied by special high-pressure guns bought for use on my coaches, the guns come with 2m flexible extension to reach all nocks & crannies and blue high-pressure container which you have to refill.

(I, until recently, had a 1984 VW T25 camper for 30+yrs, that had a very slight leak on the top of its underslung diesel tank which, if I filled it too far, would give a diesel mist over the rear underside of the vehicle.

When I sold it, the new owner did not believe that it was the original floor (I had pressure washed it) until I told him the reason. Perhaps the is a lesson to be learnt there?)

I agree. Doing it in the warmer weather is easier, as the liquid flows better, and is far more pleasant than freezing your n@ts off under the van.

I’ve done a search on here, but no results.

As anyone tried this for the underneath of your van?

Is it messy when applying does it drip everywhere?

Is it messy when applying does it drip everywhere?

No, very little mess I warmed mine in a bowl of hot water before spraying on.

Is it messy when applying does it drip everywhere?

Mine never seems to drip, possibly because the Waxoyl etc is slightly diluted and the high pressure gun applies it in a fine mist??

 

[Sapper520]

Is it messy when applying does it drip everywhere?

No, not at all messy if you apply as instructed. Easy to apply, even lying on your back under the van.

First time I did it was in cold weather…..needed a bucket of warm water to keep the Lanoguard flowing freely. Did another coat this year in warm weather, didn’t need the bucket of warm water.

Either way, I’m pretty pleased with the results.

Just read this thread, can someone tell me what I may have to do, my fresh water pipe has been threaded through the sill and having split the pipe has been filling the sill with water each time I fill the tank up. I have removed the rubber drain bungs and stopped filling the tank through the pipe (it’s going to bereplaced with a pipe routed differently. My question is the van is a Citroen Relay 2018 and I believe it is galvanised, do I need to do anything inside the sill to stop it rusting ? If so what should I use ?

Sorry Dave, not sure what to advise. The Lanoguard kit comes with a long flexible pipe, so if you needed to pump plenty into the affected area, it should be easy.

I’m sure there’s a bodywork expert around here somewhere.

Any chance of some pictures, to me it seems a strange way to route a water pipe but whatever is advised, it needs to be dried out completely with a hot air gun or something similar before remedial work can take place??

It will be fine. The sill has drain holes along it and it was clean water you were putting through it.

I did the underside of our 2006, 8.5m Iveco/Flair back in April.
I had to do it on the driveway, after lifting the MH on it's hydraulic levellers, with extended axle stands in position as a belt and braces job.

No, not at all messy if you apply as instructed. Easy to apply, even lying on your back under the van.

Whilst I too found it easy to apply, you couldn't avoid getting in the way of the fine spray, especially if a good breeze blowing under the chassis. My glasses needed cleaning several times to enable me to continue. On my back on a wheeled crawler board, I found the job to be knackering, and said at the time, that I wouldn't do it again unless I had access to either a hoist, or a drive over pit.

The chassis had been treated previously with Dinatrol, and after speaking with the owners of Lanoguard, upon their advice I just removed any flaky areas of the Dinatrol, and sprayed over the existing coating. The MH and the area around it stunk of sheep sh1t for a couple of days, but that soon disappeared.
My HGV mechanic pal who does most of the work on the MH, and is also a Land Rover enthusiast, came over and had a look underneath. He was impressed with the result.

TBH, I've not been underneath since so not able to tell how the coating has faired after driving through torrential rains and roadside flash floodings, but when i went for the MOT, the tester's words were, "It's f'kin mint under there mate."

I really do need to get under there with the spray bottle, just to check any vulnerable areas before we start getting salt on the roads again. That will have to wait until she comes out of storage.

Cheers,

Jock.

I was alright under there, bit cold, but I know to do it in the warmer weather now.

Spray on my glasses, yes, but it’s fine spray so did float or blow at times. But messy, no. I did overspray a couple of places and got a couple of drips on the floor…..and I mean only a couple. These soon washed away.

Having had to spray oil on chassis’s many years ago, this is a far cleaner and easier job.

I'm glad your MOT tester approved Jock I spent days under there "playing nicely" a few years ago I dropped all the cables and pipes off the chassis rails and deflaked and wire brushed any areas that needed it, I then painted with Rustoleum before Waxoyl which I wasn't too happy with so moved to Dinatrol.

I did the Palace with sheep shit Lanoguard and it was certainly easy to apply although still a bit messy as you say, the smell I don't mind as it took me back sheep shearing and rolling fleeces on the farm

Looks lovely when freshly applied but goes matt overnight as it dries a bit, always help if you start with a new chassis though
