A lasting, jet-wash resistant and eco-friendly barrier coating that stays in place and stops salt, grit and moisture in their tracks. Lanoguard is applied to the entire underbody of your vehicle by our team. Not only spraying on this excellent product we of course prep the underside of your vehicle and investigate any major issues during the application.
Lanoguard is almost clear when applied. This results in a clear coating, with a semi-matte wet look to enhance any colour underneath. Being transparent allows you to clearly see that rust isn’t forming.
Lanoguard has a natural affinity to ferrous metals and will bond to metal underneath surface rust, it acts as a barrier by hermetically sealing to the surface keeping oxygen and water out - stopping rust from developing further. If applied over surface rust, Lanoguard will darken and reduce the vibrancy of the rust too.

We typically allow two full days for every Lanoguard application. This ensures we have enough time for thorough preparation, cleaning, degreasing, application, and drying, followed by a controlled curing period. We never double‑book vehicles, so your car receives our full attention from start to finish
Lanoguard recommends an annual top‑up, but our detailed preparation work helps extend the re‑application interval. Because we fully clean, prep, and treat the underbody and chassis, most customers enjoy long‑lasting protection against rust, corrosion, salt, and moisture.
