Excellent mate! That’s good to know 😊

What are these ramps your using mate ?

Quick question. I’m going to use bilt hamber auto foam underneath my car every few weeks in winter to keep salt off the underneath. The car is getting undersealed also but was worried the underseal will get removed or weaker if I wash with some form of snow foam?

How did you take the old. Layer off, before applying the new one? Or you just spraied over it

Pois é, depois de 15 anos morando aqui foi um alívio encontrar o Lanoguard e essas rampas para poder fazer o tratamento que estamos tão acostumados a fazer no Brasil. E concordo que é legal ver o povo aqui aprendendo a cuidar da carroceria.

Glad it was helpful!

Hi mate - thanks very much! I do try and look after her. The longer I can keep her going strong the better 😃

Yea it could be a hell of a lot worse!

Thank you 😊

Hey! No worries, once the clean was done the application was very easy and now it has dried it looks even better. It’s given a nice matte finish 👌🏻 I’ll be topping up same time next year 😁

Yea it’s annoying that’s for sure! The underside of my Mk3 RS was rusting at just 2 years old!

My daughters 18 month old fiesta 14 plate was dreadful

Underseal your cars yourself when you get them new if you don’t who’s faults that. Lamp guard is a waste of time. Also your sealing in rust that’s already there. You have to treat it first with a rust converter such as kurust. I put kurust in a spray bottle go over the underneath first let that dry. paint with hammerite spray paint and then you guard it

@@JohnSmith-ws1dp going over the rust with Lanoguard won’t remove it - but it means it won’t get any worse. So prefect for surface corrosion that isn’t structural etc.

Newer stuff is fine,zinc galvanise dipped shells,even on Transits,just subframes and suspension get scruffy,old Ford's however were appalling.

Hi mate - happy new year to you too and thank you for watching 😊

Yes mate very happy with how it looks now! Actually looks clean under there haha 👌🏻 Give it a go mate it’s very easy to apply!

Lanoguard is good stuff. I bought an AliExpress under washer to spray off underneath easily.

Yes mate ideally would have gone the whole hog but time is limited for me so had to do what I could 😊

Hi mate - yes it’s also a problem with the mk3 - have you had a look underneath? Deffo worth doing this and adding some extra protection 👍🏻

Thanks mate!😊

No problem 👍

Hi mate, thank you. Glad how it turned out. Not mint but a damn sight better than before. You should give it a go 👍🏻👍🏻

wd 40 doesnt last and doesnt do anything

Thanks for watching!😊

Oh really? I’ll keep an eye on that as mine was second hand when I bought it too.

Glad you like it!😊

No problem 👍

If you’re handy with a spanner it’s not too difficult 👌🏻

Cheers dude. Well worth giving it a go 😁

That’s a shame about the engine mate! Bet you were gutted 😩

You should!

Go for it mate. Worth doing just to slow down the ageing process 😁

No problem!

Yes mate holding up nicely - water still beads off it and looking good 👍🏻

@@CarFocused Thanks, going to give it a try.

Thanks Keith 😊

Thanks! Yea she’s a beauty 😊

Sounds like you’ve got it all prepared properly though and a coat of this every year should keep it nice and protected 👌🏻

Thanks 👍

maybey im calling a different product here but open gear and wire rope lubricant like mobil1 ogl 007 with graphite mix etc , i have found covers and coats well but a couple years down the line its dry/flaking and it has trapped moisture behind it leaving red rotten metal in a terrible state . just experience over the years and now looking at penetrating products for my next car

Sounds similar to this stuff. Yes, annual application with this too 👍🏻

Hi mate and thanks for the comment. I’ll do another video at the end of the year to see how it’s looking underneath. Was a job I’d been wanting to do for ages so was nice to finally get it done!

​@@CarFocused Credit where due my friend.What i came across whilst on this topic last night, and products was waxoil, and in all honestly, from what i found, and the comments and replys i read, seems a much better option, lasts for years, little prep, very cheap in comparison, and comes in handy spray cans, so i wouldnt need any sprayguns, tools i dont have, n having watched it done, feel i could do the task easy, s waiting for a sunny day, and the wheels will be off one by one, so as to get to all suspension parts, wheel arms etc... I will be def interested in seeing how Lanoguard performed anyway, plus any more progress n uploads you do, i d love to have the choice of taking out my RS or ST!!! Probably be banned or skint with speed cams very quickly. Its all i can do to stick to the limits in my 1.6 tcdi 🚀

Yea I need to get the wheels off and do behind the arch liners at some point too!

I know mate it’s a joke how quickly they start corroding without protection!

Thanks bud! Yea certainly was a messy one - plus I’m aching all over now too 😂

Good video - yep, I use ACF50 on the underside of my Landy and it’s basically the same process - well worth the effort 👍

No problem 👍

These are Raceramps mate 👍🏻

Thank you 👍

They are from RaceRamps - not cheap though!

Yea a few people have said this too - but the instructions don’t mention that it’s necessary as this allegedly stops the rust in its tracks (albeit it doesn’t remove it). It wouldn’t have been a bad idea though but without a 4 post lift I just kept it as simple as I could.

@Car Focused I feel your pain, I did mine lying on my back in the street. Worst part was the fine mist of cavity wax ect that completely covered me by yhr end of the job. Ended up washing my hair with white spirit to get the wax out.

@@David_S1985 😂 I was covered in wax too! Bloody messy job especially in the wind 🤦🏼‍♂️

Ah just got to the bit where you talk about them haha

@@crc0889haha 😁

@@CarFocused Oh WOW I've just seen the price!!!!

@@crc0889 yea about £400 for the ones I was using….but well worth it in the long term 😁

I didn’t mate as I was out in the open - but in hindsight a probably should have. However it is non toxic and environmentally friendly.

I don’t think they’re related, as far as I’m aware.

@@CarFocused Thanks! * Sheep oil ( Lanolin) based product. Very good.

Haha thanks mate - I do love a Cossie to be fair 👌🏻

The Hammerite stuff does that, Lanoguard is just a wax coating to repel contaminants after application. It does darken the subframes and make them look better though. It won’t get rid of rust, but it will prevent it from occurring / getting worse.

They’re not mine mate, borrowed them from a friend but they are made by Race Ramps. Not cheap though!

Nope, just something I wanted to have a crack at myself!

There isn’t really any factory underseal lol. Just bare metal components. Either way the whole chassis is now coated with this.

Raceramps, I bought mine from ebay

There’s something like that kicking about, but for this particular job I wanted to make sure I got in all of those tricky areas.

I just don’t have the time at the moment. Plus that’s really a job for a 4 poster. Wouldn’t fancy doing that on axle stands.

Hi mate they are a two piece ramp from RaceRamps!

They’re Race Ramps mate - not mine though, borrowing from a friend. Very good bits of kit!

In the future but not at the moment.

One day 😊

@CarFocused I think your Ford is much more premium than ours. It's looks refined.

Great for cleaning but it’s quite expensive to have someone with all the gear come and do it.

RaceRamps mate 👍🏻

Tbh mate the car will have a full underbody restoration over the coming years - this is just a stop gap to slow things down a little and get it looking a bit better too. As for the ramps, they are some of the best you can buy, excellent bits of kit from RaceRamps.

None at all - but it isn’t cheap!

@@CarFocused i know 🙈

It’s a little bit tacky now and has dried with a matte finish. Yes, water beads off now 👍🏻

@@CarFocused nice. I’m a tech so don’t fancy working on my car with it all greasy etc

Pay someone else to do it 😂

Do it mate. The sooner you can start protecting the better 👍🏻

Yea real shame! At least you got the Mk3 Focus ST/RS and the Mk7 Fiesta ST 👍🏻

Just followed the Lanoguard instructions mate 👍🏻 In due course this subframe will be removed and powder coated anyway.

It’s a great idea to do this. Would definitely keep the underside in way better condition down the line!

That’s a good was to do it but it won’t get all the stubborn grease and grime off which has accumulated over the last 13 years - that needed some hands on action!

Not something most people have access to though mate.

I just followed the instructions mate - I actually went a bit further by properly cleaning before application. To quote Lanoguard; Lanoguard prevents and completely stops rust developing further. It will creep, bind, and bond underneath surface rust. It creates a barrier by hermetically sealing to the surface stopping water and oxygen getting in, therefore not allowing rust to develop. There are a lot of people out there who use this stuff and swear by it, so thought I’d give it a go.

@@CarFocused not knocking your method or application as you said you just followed the instructions. I just never understood how you just slap products over the top of rusted areas as I was looking into using Lanoguard myself on my own car but I just felt as if you were just covering the problem up rather than rectifying it. I had washed mine underneath, degreased and then wire wheeled and sanded back everything to bare metal. Then it was hydrate80 rust convertor, zinc primer then the bilt hamber cavity wax and underseal.

@@Thatcntwiththecivicyea the point of this is to slow the process down / stop more rust appearing. Luckily my car wasn’t all that bad anyway so it should provide a nice barrier for the next year or so. Long term I’m going to have a full resto done so hopefully this will suffice until then 😊

@@CarFocused Been looking at this for a while, read the lanogaurd instructions I'm sure it has something to do with sheep. If you've ever had to manhandle sheep you will know there fleeces are really greasy, your video has swung it for me thanks buddy. 🤙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@@peterbalac1915 yes mate I believe it contains Lanolin from sheep. It smells like sheep 😂 Glad you found this video useful!

Worth it though!
