Would Lanoguard work?

Was thinking that might be a bit temporary and not that "strong" a coating? Never used it before really.

Possibly have to give it another squirt every 6 months or so, but at least it won't peel or flake. You also apply a little more in particular areas where you think it needs it.

I am just using it on my truck for the first time. I didn't want to use the thicker or darker products as I want to keep my eye on the state of the chassis (as its an old one).

I can't say how good it is as I only used it for the first time last week.

I bought the kit that has the grease with it and I have covered my brake pipe and fittings with that.

Dinitrol 4010 Corroheat is both clear and very effective. Darren

Cheers, for 20 quid a can that seems worth a shout if it saves the reservoir hoses and means they can be serviced in the future.

Hello,

I was wondering if someone could advise me.

First off I do not have a defender unfortunately, but have some rusting issues on a fiat 500.

The rear beam is flakey and rusty, so reading on here it seems Bilt Hamber Hydrate 80 or Dinitrol rc800 (which is best?)

Then dinitrol 4941, can this be sprayed into a jug then painted on with a brush?

I understand there’s other steps to do like wax the chassis inside, but I’ll be doing this on the drive and want to do it the lazy way as I’ll be on my back and car not that high in the air.

My plan of action will be remove flakey stuff, use hydrate 80/dinitrol rc800, then spray/brush dinitrol 4941 and hopefully done.

I’m guessing dinitrol 4941 dries to a hard finish and not something where it’ll remain tacky and transfer onto everything weeks later?

Many thanks

Apologies, I did not see these posts;

Mossberg, use Dinitrol Corroheat clear, not Lanoguard;

Danoid,use Dinitrol RC900 then 4941, is not tacky.

E.g this is done in Corroheat clear.

Hi Zagato,

Thanks for taking the time to reply. You recommend Dinatrol Corroheat over Lanoguard for that application and I wonder what you would recommend for the following;

My chassis is 30 years old. It looks sort of OK appart from some areas (dumb irons, bulkhead outriggers, rear crossmember). Due to its age I want to be able to inspect it on a semi-regular basis and for that reason I have used Lanoguard. My thoughts on this are it is clear, thin, and hopefully removable via brake cleaner/thiners/acetone etc so I can weld where required. I know you probably never have to deal with a chassis in my condition, but your corrosion protection knowledge seems extensive, so your opinion would be very helpful - so for a chassis like mine that I want to be able to see the steel under the protective coating, would you recommend lano, corroheat, or something else?

Also, the outriggers I have ready to fit are bare mild steel. The ones already on the truck have already been replaced at some stage and they already need replacing. I can't comment on the environment my truck has been used in before, but it seams the main culprit of rust is delaminating paint holding water against the steel. So with this in mind, do you have an opinion of whether to paint the steel or use corrosion protection directly to the steel?

One final question. I am currently ready to fit a refurbished rear axle casing. I have removed rust via electrolysis, then phosphoric acid, jet washed, final wire brushing before degreasing then 2x Bonda Rust Primer and a top coat. What treatment would you recommend on thus? The old axle casing had suffered mainly around the spring and shock mounts, but in particular the bump stop plates (one flipped off when trying to clear the old mud from it). I was going to use the thick Lanoguard grease in these points, then normal Lanoguard over the main casing, but agai, your opinion and advice would be greatly received.

Many thanks for your help.

Mick

PS - Zagato, your work looks fantastic. It seams you have transformed your work into an art-form!

Hi Mick, sounds like your doing a thorough job Thumbs Up

The pitfalls of Lanoguard is widely discussed over social media BUT the advertising still sucks people in. It's a bit like Buzzweld/Raptor products were 'the trendy thing' a year or so ago (Rock hard products trapping in rust underneath). Lanoguard is largely a glue (content specs on this thread a few pages back) over a time the thin layer of glue just bubbles, delaminates from the surface and leaves a rough mess that is a sod to get off. Not practical over a whole chassis. Lanoguard has been around for a while and isn,t effective for other uses it is advertised for such as putting on boat props to keep weed off. If you have a product you want to sell it in as many markets as possible of course.

Dinitrol Corroheat as I have said repeatedly over the years on this thread is superb stuff, good for new cars, classics, etc where you want an effective, smart finish that you can see through which was one of your wants. It is opaque, see previous pictures as an example.

Not sure regarding your axle if you need anything on top If you have already painted a top coat on it BUT if you think there maybe areas to protect, once again use Corroheat if you want to see underneath or 4941 matt black finish Dinitrol.

Good luck 😉

Something completely different in at the moment Cool

And I shall really enjoy working on this over the next couple of weeks Thumbs Up sensitive improvement, swapping rusty bits out, hand spraying/painting localised parts, getting paint off the galvanise bits etc. It has already been mechanically overhauled for a trip down through Portugal.

Here’s a quick corrosion prevention question - what would people recommend to use on brand new door mirror arms to prevent paint flaking off again in a few months? (Don’t say the billet versions as I couldn’t talk myself into spending that much over a £10 item)
