Nissan Juke Rust Protection: Keep Your Crossover in Top Condition

Nissan Juke Rust Protection – Tackle Rust Before It Spreads

The Nissan Juke is a popular compact crossover, known for its striking design and sporty performance. However, rust can be a problem if left unchecked, especially in areas like the exhaust and undercarriage. Read on to learn about common rust issues in Nissan Jukes and how Lanoguard can help protect your vehicle.

Common Rust Problems in Nissan Jukes

Rust can develop on Nissan Jukes due to exposure to road salt, moisture, and harsh weather conditions. Here are some areas to watch out for:

  • Exhaust System: The exhaust is one of the most vulnerable parts due to constant exposure to heat and moisture. Rust in this area can compromise performance and lead to costly repairs.

  • Wheel Arches: Dirt and grime can accumulate here, trapping moisture and causing corrosion.

  • Chassis and Underside: The underside of the vehicle is continuously exposed to road debris, water, and salt, making it a prime spot for rust to form.

  • Doors and Sills: Rust can appear along the door frames and sills, particularly in older models or vehicles exposed to wet climates.

If ignored, rust can spread quickly, impacting your Nissan Juke’s aesthetics, performance, and resale value.

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.
