Hi Ian, we have pm'd each other but to answer your question on the thread also, yes Corroheat does dry but it does take a day or two to go off properly and then becomes harder after a week or two. Perfect for a new BMW Wink

'AndyT's Defenders, one in one out Cool

The black 2006 TD5 is an ex farm vehicle with around 200k on the clock with a remarkably good chassis Shocked If it has been on just an arable farm sometimes they fare better than road cars as they don,t see salt. Winter road salt is a killer to the body and chassis. Many vehicles however are used on stock farms where the poo just eats the metal similar to salt. Farm poo will destroy concrete as well I remember from my farming days. Enjoy your Sunday breakfast Wink The TD5 has also been treated before which can save years on the life of the chassis...and body if done properly.

Not always but sometimes the inner, lower seam of the rear crossmember is a good indicator of what state the chassis is in. This is still good on the 2006 TD5 but many are blowing at this age...

Another local Defender. This one is having a few mods... anything is better than the useless original front bumper that just folds up on impact caving in your front wing.

Hi Ian, I am in talks with Lanoguard at the moment with regards to the actual product and how the home mechanic can apply the product effectively. This natural product has been used extensively for the past 30 odd years in the industrial arena and continues to be highly effective as a coating in the Marine and Aviation sectors for instance. It can be applied at different temperatures and methods giving a slight difference of the coating suited to differing applications. Lanoguard are hoping to refine their kit for the DIYer working on vehicles and I hope to be able to help them with that. Watch this space as they say. I hope to be able to offer the product alongside Dinitrol for those interested. Thumbs Up

From looking at there site, they do a 2L moto kit, that has a trigger spray head on a long tube, might come in handy.

Yes there is also a pressurised stainless steel applicator with wand etc which could be improved upon or adapted if required. I think Lanoguard could be a very good, eco friendly product, the limitations are that you still need to "correct" any corrosion prior to application (no problem, this has to be done with other products) and that the finish is clear to opaque. This could be ok on brand new vehicles, or working vehicles where the finish does not matter or where the owners are happy to keep an eye on corrosion but many would prefer the smart, black finish that Dinitrol provides. As a clear product it is competing with Dinitrol Corroheat, a hard product to beat unless you take into account the eco friendly factor. I am more than happy to use Lanoguard on request Thumbs Up

This is Bumpy's truck... POW! Have some of that Laughing Looks impressive in the sun Cool

Tried it a long time ago as well as others a long way back in this thread, stays tacky for too long, picks up all the crap and unbody is streaky! Dinitrol gives a nice dry, smart matt black finish.

How good is Dinitrol Corroheat on high impact areas? My chassis is covered in Dynex UC and with the salty roads up here I have to redo high impact areas particularly axles and rear wheel arch every year.

I am keen to keep with clear product. Would corroheat go over any existing Dynex UC?

"high impact areas"!? It is not as good as a stone chip and never will be but it does harden well in time if you put 4-5 layers on. It is not so waxy, think of it more like a thicker lacquer that you would have to build the layers up. It could handle light abrasion from long grass, occasional mud dunking but would not stand up to stone chips in the wheel arches! Yes it will go over your UC and will help protect it Thumbs Up

Hi,

I had this steam cleaned yesterday. The paint on the galv chassis came off, along with everything else! I don’t know what the product on the chassis was, it was done about 8 years ago.

What would be needed to get this looking tidy and protected?

Thanks

To paint you would need to etch prime then paint with something of your choice BUT the best way as it is already corroding would be to ACF-50 it, then the usual Dinitrol process, i.e. Layer of 1000 then 4941 and 447 for those areas you want stone chip covering! Thumbs Up
