Our products are designed to be super easy to apply, with very low prep required and minimal mess to clean-up after. You don’t need to mask up rubbers or plastics and don’t need to remove surface rust or “key-up” the surface.  A close-up jet wash to remove flaking or loose bits of rust, past underseal, or dirt, is all that’s needed for most vehicles. You can be rest assured that with a simple 20-30 minute spray and grease application you can protect your whole underbody to a heavy-duty standard. Where you will really notice a huge difference and understand why our products are unique is that an easy coating of Lanoguard will stay in place and adhere tenaciously. It cannot be washed off or dissolved by petrol nor washed out or displaced by road spray or jet washing. It won’t evaporate either! So it stays in place and keeps doing its job long after other products would have disappeared. This also makes Lanoguard highly versatile, you can use it to protect and maintain any vehicles, plant, boats, or machines.

With 3,579 5-Star reviews and counting, tens of thousands of happy customers are now using our products to say goodbye to rust and protect their underbodies. With 18,000+ members in our Lanoguard Users Group, our community is quickly growing! Alongside this, our background is in industrial and marine heavy duty rust protection. We developed and tested our products alongside university partners and industry, including airports, seaports, and construction – to create a formula which protects tenaciously from the harshest of chemical and corrosive environments.

.

Our formulas have come from years of research and development, and real-world industrial uses, to give the best protection against rust and corrosion – to achieve this, we only use the highest quality raw materials, all UK-sourced, to ensure our blends have the properties and features ideally suited to underbody protection. Many of our core ingredients we have made especially for us. We’ve worked with our suppliers for the past 11 years to perfect the raw ingredients and now make our products using bespoke materials which give Lanoguard the high surface adhesion, seeping/creeping ability, and industrial-grade protection required of a high-quality underbody protection product. The use of these premium quality materials means that Lanoguard has a set of technical properties and features which really set it apart from petroleum-based products and its other competition.

Lanoguard is a non-hazardous to apply product, which is ecologically friendlier and safe for aquatic life and the environment. It is also fine to apply on rubbers, plastics, electrics and on exhaust manifolds/engine bays due to it being non-perishing, non-conductive to 70kV, and non-flammable. Our products do not require any special handling or protective clothing, but for general health and safety light PPE (a regular face mask and goggles is fine!) are advisable. As well as using high-grade lanolin, we make the base from as much bio and sustainable resources as we can and are aiming towards making it from 100% bio, renewable resources as part of our mission. We use what is the cleaner part of hydrocarbons which are very low in toxicity and non-irritant, this gives our blends green credentials whilst maintaining a heavy-duty standard of corrosion and rust protection.

All Lanoguard products are cooked, blended, and bottled by hand – by our small team in Sussex. We’ve made and improved the products for 11 years, in that time developing great expertise in underbody and machinery protection, how to stop rust and what’s required for an underbody coating to be effective. We understand our product, and we understand underbodies – we take full responsibility for making sure you have the best quality product and protection, and we combine this with our dedicated customer support team who are always on hand to make sure you have the best quality service too. We are always here to help and share our knowledge of our products and of underbody protection, to make sure you’re a happy Lanoguarder.



We hope that gives you some insight and information into why you can trust Lanoguard as a product and as a company to protect your machinery and vehicles. Any questions, don't hesitate to get in touch on 0330 100 1959 or Email Us

Lanoguard has been designed for yearly/seasonal applications. It should be topped up at least once a year to ensure continuous protection. Although due to the simple application process there’s no harm in doing an Autumn & Spring application! The product is broken down by UV, so the more it is exposed to sunlight the shorter its life span. Inside box sections or inner chassis for example, it will last longer.

The general rule of thumb is that a little Lanoguard goes a long way, 1.8L of moto spray per application. – is ample coverage for vehicles such as Land Rovers and Pick Up trucks any vehicles over this size we would recommend more than 2L. Click here to look at our range.

Preparation is very minimal - all you need to do is jet wash your vehicle removing any dirt and grime. Make sure you remove any flaking or loose bits of rust, paint or underseal. Sometimes a wire brush can be used if needed to remove flaking bits. Ensure the vehicle is dry before you apply Lanoguard – it doesn’t have to be bone dry, as Lanoguard will displace moisture to an extent, but ensure you do not apply to a dripping wet surface. See our how to apply page here.

Lanoguard is great for chassis with surface rust. It has a natural affinity to ferrous metals 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.

Yes, you most certainly can. Lanoguard works fine with almost all sprayers, compressors, and applicators. You may find that it uses slightly more product than our trigger sprayer applicators will, but you’ll still get a nice even coverage of Lanoguard which will protect well. We do have a range of sprayers and applicators available on our accessories page.

Lanoguard 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.

Lanoguard is eco-friendly and has green non-hazardous certifications. It does not require special handling, protective clothing or disposable gloves, which all add to the carbon footprint of utilising a product that is hazardous. The primary ingredient of Lanoguard is Lanolin which is a very ecologically safe and sound base. In fact, an entire dam in New Zealand was moved down river on a base of Lanoguard marine grease which shows you how the river authority was not concerned about any toxins that would be left as a result.
