Apologies for the audio not being the best. Turns out my mic wasn’t properly plugged in so it was defaulting to my phone mic 🤦🏼‍♂️

Finally someone has done an update video. Sounds like it’s done a decent job. Will do mine before she is garaged up for the winter. Great video 👍🏽

I did my e46 m3 around 10 months ago, was under it today and was quite pleased on how it looked, have enough of the supply to re-apply soon. My rear arches are staring to bubble now. but it is a common issue.

Great video mate. As the car is a keeper, you can certainly plan to the rust and floor repairs when it suit you.

Enjoyed the update on the lanoguard would love to see fjrs with there own you tube channel .

I spray on transmission oil or vegetable oil to the underside. Its very cheap and works for 6-12 months depending on use

I would just cut to the chase and buy a set of second hand subframes and arms then get those blasted and powdercoated. I know the rear subframe and arms are identical to standard focus/STs, the front subframe is identical too (just the bigger front arb on the RS) but the front arms are different so youd need RS arms or have yours taken off then blast and powdercoat those at the same time. Its the lacklustre paint finish that Ford did on the subframes/arms that leads to the scabby-ness thatll just keep recurring.

Going to use this product myself on my Mk3 ST Focus after seeing this update. Cheers 👍

I'm not that impressed really, especially if you have to redo it every year. I prefer Dinitrol treatments, particularly the black undercoat. It last years, and its only in high impact areas such as rear arches where you have to touch in the odd area where its washed away. For those of us who live up north where the roads are sprayed with salt for 6 months every year, Dinitrol is my preference.

I’m just about to do my underbody too, so thanks for the inspiration. My rear wheel arches are bubbling too and above the top of the windscreen (weirdly)! Have you checked underneath the roof rack mounts? Water pools there, mine are starting to rust up there.

I wonder if products like this deteriorate the rubber faster if you spray it all over the suspension parts.

I’ve about 30 years of experience of trying to slow down rust on every day driving vehicles. Such a pity the manufacturer doesn’t paint the subframes and running gear properly. For many years I used waxoyl it dries out and cracks I eventually stepped up to Dinitrol 3125. I have just tried lanoguard for two years and not very impressed. I’m going back to 3125 but will try fluid film as well but I think it’s similar to lanoguard. Lanoguard is easy to apply and better than nothing but it doesn’t stand up to washing like 3125.

Just had my 911 done. Any form of preservation can only be good 😊👍

Good to see your prevention work is still doing it’s job. Not bad at all considering you did it on the drive mate. 👍🏻

That's alot of rust, is that typical on a ford?

nice just done my MR2....that overspray I thought at first the liners were off!!!! Jeez

I've got 2 say 4 it's year the RS isn't looking 2 shabby underneath I'd be happy with that Gary

Looking pretty good under there Gary 👌

How many miles since you did it mate ?

Does it dry or stay moist,I don’t want loads of dust sticking to it

Am same as you with my mk2 rs i could do with a week on cleaning under the car then treat it.

I would get the sill ends done ASAP as you may have caught them just in time to grind the rust back, treat and seal. Much longer and they're going to need welding.

Worry about the surface rust on the body before the suspension beds and parts. It’s in good nick, just needs a spruce up round the edges….but who doesn’t? 😮😅

Did my fiesta st a couple of months ago and I hope it’s a worthy investment

Sorry to say mate that basic Beaton black spray at a quarter of the price will offer just as good protection. The landrover guys think it’s rubbish as do I. General waxoyl based products would last ages bud

Did you consider using a "rust converter" product ?

Does lanoguard attract dirt?

Those lift arms are basically touching the bottom side of your sideskirts, hope theres no damage 🤒

It’s interesting to see how the Lanoguard has held up to the test of time. It’s done something to aid the corrosion resistance. So your last video got me thinking about my MK4 Mondeo Titanium X. That’s an 08 reg, with the usual underside corrosion. So I applied Neutrarust 661 to kill the corrosion. Then applied Ambersil corrosion inhibitor. I’ll have to see how my rear subframe & arms see out the winter assault..?

Has anyone tried dry ice cleaning then apply

Obviously, you didn't treat the rusty areas, maybe double coats next time 😅

I swear by the stuff, mines holding up well!

Not suprised the Mountune ST hasnt sold, waay overpriced.

i think Lanoguard is about £70 odd Quid, i'd rather just Scrape the rust off and Spray it with Hammerite or something

It’s shocking a 09 can rust so bad

But Fords are made to rust😀

Wouldn’t touch a Ford !! Never had one ! Only German or Japanese is the moto ! Dad swears by his fords ! Constantly something wrong with them ! New cars ! breaking down rust issues electrical issues ! Nope 👎🏻

I bought a 2017 Focus RS sold because of RUST in 2020 Stealth Grey . Spent just over $8,000 on paint, and I have the receipts. 😢😢 I will 1st say zero rust underbody , problems. Hood repaint 3 times, both areas where the front fender meets bumper and same where rear bumper meets body. Both sides Rust, Rust, rust... rear door handle area, front under doors, I was blown away, I wanted to keep the car so bad, but I'm not repainting any vehicle yearly.

Where is the orange focus st advertised @carfocused

Waxoil better or save your oil from oil change and use that it’s free and lasts

It’s rubbish it doesn’t even last 12 months, absolutely useless, every year omg waste of money
