Sorry another topic, looking at some protection to help keep the car protected and make it hopefully easier to keep clean if you read the buff,  does anyone have any experaice of a product to help with protection, I mention Lanoguard but see a lot of alternatives from BuzzWeld that look equaliiy as good without the price tag, or should I just stick to good old clear Waxoil.

Most will wash off.

 

i have lanoguard on the Caddy. Yearly redoing is recommended.

 

will I still be using it.

 

yes.

Bilt Hamber Dynax UC for me but I think most products these days do a good job . But as above, periodic reapplication is needed depending on how much stick it gets.

bilt hamber is a proper research backed product.

 

Lanogaurd seems more like a social media advertising campaign.

 I used Lanoguard for the first year, seemed to have good protection but disappeared after 12 months. I have since used Tetra Schutz underneath and that seems pretty good too. I had to thin it slightly and brushed it on. Barely used a can and I bought 6 so I've got some left for the next few years.

Thanks for this, I do think it was more social media hype than a good product

Since you have asked in the Minis in Motorsport section, one might assume that it's for a rally car.

On my rally cars I use a bitumen-based paint of the type used on steel-hulled canal boats. I find that I can jet wash the mud off and any gashes from contact with the ground and stray rocks is easily re-done. You can buy the right stuff from any local marina.

thank you, this is for a rally car, the car has been stonechipped and body colour painted was looking at a more clear protection to help with the road  conditions,

On any rally car the underside takes a lot of punishment. Protection is more important than looks and that's why I use a black bitumen steel boat hull paint. Then I jet wash it after most events and touch up any grazes to protect it.

My other advice is to fit mud flaps on the back edge of the front wheel arches to stop stones thrown up by the wheel-spin from 'sand-blasting' the sills.

There are lots of little mods you might want to do when building a rally car and if you PM me with your email address I can tell you more.

Then Lanogard is not what you are looking for. None of the Lanolin products are.
