Here’s a list of what makes Lanoguard different and easier to work with than conventional treatments. I hope this helps explain it more.
It’s quite different to other products. For example, is much thinner, so easier to apply, very much less of a messy job to do and made from very different core products. Lanoguard has a natural product base which is then enhanced. Which makes it quite different and affords features such as Hermetic sealing and Jet wash proof and non-conductivity.
How it compares is probably best explained as a review of the key features of Lanoguard.

If you're looking for a reliable and effective way to protect your vehicle from rust, Lanoguard could be the solution for you. Lanoguard is a specially formulated rust protection product and lubricant that has been designed to provide long-lasting protection against rust no matter the weather.
One of the key benefits of Lanoguard is its ability to penetrate deep into the metal, providing a barrier against moisture and other corrosive elements that can cause rust. This makes it an ideal choice for protecting vehicles that are frequently exposed to harsh environments, such as those used for off-roading, or driving in road salt.
Lanoguard is also very versatile, making it appropriate for use on a variety of cars, trucks, boats, aeroplanes, and heavy machinery. It is simple to apply and can be used on both new and older cars, it helps maintain its structural integrity, extends the longevity of your vehicle and reduces expensive rust repairs needed.
Our customers have praised our products for their long-lasting protection against rust, corrosion, and other environmental factors. They also appreciate the ease of application and how our products are environmentally friendly. Visit our review page that's updated daily to see how other users are finding Lanoguard.

They have been using it for more than 5 years and highly recommend it to others who are looking for a reliable and cost-effective rust protection solution. You can check out their Instagram Page and their YouTube Channel for more information and to see how they use Lanoguard in their own projects.
When it comes to the shelf life of Lanoguard, it is recommended that it is used within 12 months of purchase.
It is important to store Lanoguard in a dark place that is out of the way of ultraviolet light. If you have not used your Lanoguard for a while, you will need to shake it well prior to use.
Lanoguard is almost transparent. Some images may give the impression that Lanoguard is black but this because of the colour of the components that Lanoguard is applied too.
Lanoguard will enhance the surface that it is applied to and make it look temporarily shiny, then cure to a semi mat looking finish. It will dull down vibrancy of rusted surfaces and turn them darker over time too, making rusted surfaces look more aesthetically pleasing.
To help give you an idea of what Lanoguard looks like over time, we've created some clips that show the product at various intervals after it's been applied.
Day 0 - It has an oily feel, it is almost clear when applied.
Day 3 - A soft feel and is still almost clear.
Day 7 to 10 - In its final state, it has a candle like feel or texture.
After 10 Days - It dries to a clear / transparent semi satin wet look, enhancing the colour under it. Slightly dulling over time but stays transparent. When applied over surface rust, Lanoguard will darken areas of rust and reduce the vibrancy too.
Here's Life's Projects first application with Lanoguard, his thoughts and comparison to other conventional rust products:
This is what his Land Rover Defender looks like after 10 months of Lanoguard:
Lanoguard is great for chassis with surface rust. It has a natural affinity to ferrous metals when they are oxidised too and will bond to the metal underneath any surface rust, it acts as a barrier by hermetically sealing to the surface keeping oxygen and water out stopping any rust from developing further. It will also darken the surface and push off the dusty oxidation which in turn makes the surface more aesthetically pleasing.
If you're dealing with heavily rusted areas, we recommend this two-step treatment approach, and for areas that are particularly vulnerable to rust.
Step One: Spray the Whole Underbody
To begin with apply a thin layer of the moto grease on the heavier rusted areas. Then spray the moto spray directly over these areas and the rest of underbody. The product will bond to the surface, penetrate and seep underneath the surface rust. Over time, it will push off the worst of the oxidation and make the surface more stable. While it won't remove the rust entirely, this process will improve the condition of the surface and make it more manageable.
Step Two: Leave it for 4 Weeks and Jet Wash
After spraying the underbody, leave it for 4 weeks to allow the product to seep and push off the worst of the oxidation. Give it a close-up jet wash to remove any loose bits of rust, then repeat step one to complete the process.
Lanoguard works best when applied to a stable surface. This two-step application process will further seal the area applied and make it more stable, allowing the product to bond more effectively.
Moto Grease is an industrial-grade solution for rust prevention and lubrication. It provides long-lasting protection and maintenance for machinery and vehicles operating in harsh environments. Multihog, a leading manufacturer of multi-purpose vehicles, uses Lanoguard Moto Grease on every nut, bolt, and pin during assembly to ensure their vehicles remain operational in harsh environments.
Applying Moto Grease is easy and convenient. It can be applied using fingers, brushes, or cloths. Warming up the grease before application can make it easier to spread. It is recommended to apply Moto Grease to particularly vulnerable areas or prone to rusting, corrosion and seizing up. Also, it's great for weld seams, nuts, bolts, pins, sharp edges, threads, shock absorbers, chains, leaf springs.
Yes. Some of our users choose to use a rust convertor (usually for aesthetic reasons because it will turn rust bluey black).
However, you do not need to use a rust convertor before applying Lanoguard, as it will stop rust furthering by suffocating it and excluding oxygen and water (which are both needed to enable rust to form).
If you do choose to use a converter it must be fully cured before applying Lanoguard.
Lanoguard is generally inert and doesn’t disturb any existing coatings on your vehicle. All that said, it is important to ensure that any existing coating is stable, adhered well and isn't cracked.
If the surface you apply Lanoguard too is any of these things, then it is possible that parts /chips/bits of the existing surface coating could come off taking the Lanoguard with it. It is advisable to ensure it is sound first and once applied, a month later, check that the surface is still solid, and nothing is exposed. If you notice any spots where you missed or where existing old coating has come away, then you can simply spray over that area again.
Lanoguard offers several sprayers for different needs, the 1L Professional Sprayer, the Pro2 Pressure Sprayer and 10L Pressure Sprayer.

Lanoguard is safe to use on rubbers, plastics, metals, electrics, and circuit boards without any issue. It is jet-wash resistant up to 3000psi, non-perishing, non-conductive up to 70,000 volts, non-flammable and heat resistant up to 450 degrees. Therefore, you can spray the complete underbody of your vehicle even the exhaust. The only areas to avoid are the brakes, brake discs and if applying to the engine bay avoid the fan belt.
Lanoguard is a natural product which is broken down by exposure to ultraviolet light and oxygen within the air. This means that in general a yearly top up is required due to the degradation that will occur. Remember too that the environment your underbody is exposed to is very harsh with lots of water, stones, gravel, salt and the likes being thrown at it and attacking it. So, a regular check of your underbody is a good approach.
For us it's just part of your regular routine car maintenance plan, we have made it as easy as possible to apply and reapply Lanoguard as part of that process. Remember, when applying Lanoguard for a second time, it can be applied new coat on old coat, so it is very easy to do.
