Lanoguard - 12 Months Later on our 25 Year old Motorhome

It's been 12 months since I applied Lanoguard Underbody Rust Protection to the chassis of our 25 year old motorhome. A year on I need to clean and inspect the chassis for rust and apply another coat of Lanoguard.

Good, interesting video
I dont have a camper but our cars get treated underneath fairly regularly
I had to replace the radiator cradle on my wifes car 3 years ago and already the paint is peeling and the metal rusting, mainly I think because its made of very poor quality metal, I have repainted it twice in those 3 years!
Meanwhile the actual engine cradle is 13 years old but still in perfect condition

[@HermanHitstheRoad]

Thanks for commenting, @sandy7299 👍👍

[@cosmodog4845]

Treated my mini last year and this year.
At front where metal is thin and exposed to wind and rain etc, it requires a spray every several weeks,

[@HermanHitstheRoad]

Thanks for commenting, @cosmodog4845. Is that a "proper" mini? How old?

[@bathroomjon1]

I need to tackle this on our camper. Sadly there is rust (it’s a Transit!!) so I need to take care of that first. It’s gonna be a horrible job which I keep putting off. The time has come……!! Great vid Ads

[@HermanHitstheRoad]

Thanks @bathroomjon1 👍👍

[@keithhooper6123]

I guess your crossover was factory coated,and you put Waxoyl on top. It's the factory coating coming off,taking the Waxoyl with it.Not bad a problem on my vehicles.

[@HermanHitstheRoad]

I think you're right, @keithhooper6123 but even so the water/rust still got through the under sealant

[@tstuart7333]

Super video. Always enjoy the content. Rust around the nuts sound very painful. Whatever you do, do not apply Lanoguard. Apologies to you both couldn't resist the comment. Barn chain oil leaves like a wax barrier finish on whatever it is sprayed onto. Only needs to be done every 3-4 years unless you feel the need to do and have the energy. Works I guess like lanoguard but a lot cheaper. Have a great weekend under Herman and enjoy. Thank you.

[@HermanHitstheRoad]

Thanks @tstuart7333 👍👍. I'll remember not to apply Lanoguard to my nuts

[@wontbelongnow5567]

This should of been done when motorhome was about 10 years old or newer because its a little to late now ghe rust has started and will only get worse. Never mind you might add a few more years to life of under neath motorhome.

[@HermanHitstheRoad]

Thanks for commenting, @wontbelongnow5567

[@mk1photography62]

I still haven't tackled Fudge 😮 but this year's project over the dry bits of winter is going to happen. Well done on your efforts and this time around.
I am in the Lanoguard group and not keen on waxoyl as it does seem to hide things a bit

[@HermanHitstheRoad]

Looking forward to the dry bits of winter, @mk1photography62 but it'll also be cold 🥶

[@Simon_W74]

When I did Nessa I was under her with a angle grinder with a wire wheel as well as a needle gun, so I could get ride of any delaminated steel. I haven't been back under her this year, to see how she is doing. I will get under at some point and see how she's doing. I will look at Lanoguard as an additional layer of protection.

[@HermanHitstheRoad]

Great idea, @Simon_W74

[@tommo9757]

Thanks mate. Love your vids, especially these more technical ones. I guess its because I can sympathise as mine is 21 years old. All the best.

[@HermanHitstheRoad]

Thanks @tommo9757 👍👍. Just keep on top of it

[@Wheres_wanda_wandering]

I think it’s amazing how you look after Herman. Hope that you are able to fix the hole. Take care Gill

[@HermanHitstheRoad]

Thanks @Wheres_wanda_wandering 👍👍

[@chrisandsamlivingthedream]

Great stuff , I use it on the dub .. going do the Axle on the caravan soon .. cheers Chris & Sammy

[@HermanHitstheRoad]

What v-dub do you have, Chris and Sammy? I restored a 1973 VW Beetle some years ago

[@chrisandsamlivingthedream]

@@HermanHitstheRoad T4 caravelle… 24 yrs old … we luvit … Awesome on restore of a Beetle ..cheers Chris & Sammy

[@alunprice8537]

Ive gone back to waxoil. Main reason the price- waxoil is expensive. All these products have some use but its about how you apply the product

[@HermanHitstheRoad]

I'm not sure I follow you, @alunprice8537. Are you saying that you went back to using Waxoil because it's expensive ?🤔

[@AndyPipkin-dj8sy]

wax oil is best - not the paint - oil allows the steel to breath, i am considering this lanoguard

[@keithhooper6123]

You want the Buzzweld,non sticky alternative to Waxoyl.

[@HermanHitstheRoad]

Steel to breath, @AndyPipkin-dj8sy? That doesn't sound right - breathing = air = rust. Or have I got the wrong end of the stick, Andy?

[@AndyPipkin-dj8sy]

@@HermanHitstheRoad steal on a non level needs to absorb and de absorb moisture - with a coat of rubber paint the moisture is trapped and the rust becomes very aggressive. wax oil allows the moisture cycle

[@harryboy3305]

So you are saying Lanoguard does not stop the vehicle rusting it just looks good.

[@HermanHitstheRoad]

No, Harry. Lanoguard isn't a rust converter but it stops moisture and air getting to the metal. It also absorbs moisture from the surface of the metal. I hope that helps

[@battlebbot]

@@HermanHitstheRoad Lanoguard is a con job pure and simple. If you want to prevent rust, firstly get the underside steam cleaned, then have any welding repairs carried out, next remove any loose rust with wire brush on an angle grinder and a needle gun. Treat all rusted areas with rust converter, and then epoxy primer. Finally coat all underbody areas with Dinitrol and enclosed box sections with Dinitrol cavity wax. Lanoguard is a complete waste of time and money, and will need to be removed with steam cleaning, before an effective underbody coating can be used.

[@bield7]

@@battlebbot agree with you about the most effective process you’ve described to address corrosion. I’ve used Dinitrol for years, after I found Waxoyl to be increasingly ineffective. Can’t comment on Lanoguard, but I’ll stick with Dinitrol 😀

[@battlebbot]

@harryboy3305 it doesn't even look good after a few weeks a good deal of it has washed off.

[@battlebbot]

@bield7 The DIY products such as Lanoguard and Waxoyl, are mostly solvent to make application easier. It's not a good idea to rely on this type of thing as any sort of corrosion preventative.

[@scottl5028]

Nice work 👍🏼

[@HermanHitstheRoad]

Thanks @scottl5028 👍👍

[@Defender200tdi]

I swear by Lanoguard. Get yourself a paraffin gun and a small compressor, much easier on the hand than the trigger pump.

[@battlebbot]

Lanoguard washes off, and is just about the most hopeless rust preventative o the market.

[@Defender200tdi]

@@battlebbot It dries on to form a waxy textured finish, but you have to let it dry fully and it will withstand less up to 3000psi water but first wash the chassis well and allow to dry before applying. It has stopped chassis rust issues on my 32 year old Land Rover, and being clear doesn't let rust persist underneath like underseal type treatments. It is also a joy to apply compared to bitumen stuff.

[@battlebbot]

@Defender200tdi Rubbish. The manufacturer suggests it has to be renewed regularly, and the majority of users find it washes off in puddles!
It's mostly solvent, which makes it thin enough to spray through micky mouse hand pump sprays.

[@Defender200tdi]

@@battlebbot It gets too thick to spray in the cold and the hand pump clogs. I use a paraffin gun and a small compressor. They also do a thick grease you apply with a brush and that is not going to wash off even before it dries, you have to stand the tub in hot water to get the stuff to move.
If you let it dry thoroughly and have washed down the chassis and apply when dry you don't have issues with it washing off.
Applying every year or 18 months is no big deal, costs 50 quid and takes 15-20 minutes.
If you want fit and forget Corroless do a very good epoxy system, but then the prep alone takes hours and is impossible to do properly with the body on the chassis. All the users in my Landy club love the Lanoguard stuff, and they put it through it's paces more than most. As a side benefit it seems to restore rubber seals and bushes as well.

[@battlebbot]

@Defender200tdi Why use crap like Lanoguard when professional products that work well are easily available?
