Rustproofing.

I used Lanolin to protect my rig. The benefits are vast here's a list of pro's, I have found no cons, Yes seriously, its a wonder product in my eyes:

Hermetically seals the surface.

Proven to last 10 years as an anti seize grease on bolts in sea water.

Economical to use

Eco friendly.

Smells like lamberts farm yard

Is even food grade safe with some lanolin products (Prolan being one of them).

Used by militaries and farmers the world over. New zealand farmers love the stuff.

Will not jet wash off with commercial jet washers.

Dries to a semi hard resin (prolan).

Easy to apply, brush on or spray bottle or compressor, all work fine.

Use on electrical connectors, battery posts, the works, is dioelecttric, non conductive.

The Vikings used it on there ships, metal works and leather!!

Supports farmers Baaaaaaaa!!

Can be applied to light rust, eliminating the oxygen needed for corrosions progression.

Apply safely, no mess to worry about, drips in your hair and eyes, no problem.

No thick, smelly, horrible black oil to deal with. Seals for years and stays on no matter what.

One of the best natural anti corrosion products available in my eyes.

LOOK I EVEN EAT IN ON TOAST.




This is their thick pure lanolin grease. I use this on electrical connectors and battery terminals and my radious arm bolts. An amazing anti seize grease.

I used a lanolin called 'Prolan enduro heavy grade'. Bought from the withamgroup.co.uk in 5 litre quantity.

Simply one of the best products ive ever come across. So much so, i set up a FB page called the "lanolin appreciation society". Yepp im nuts!!

Thanks Andy, I like the look of this. I think I'll get a can for experimental purposes.

Good stuff CCB,

Keep me posted on this. Ive converted another chap to lanolin on FB too. He has now joined the lanolin appreciation society and has fell in love with this sticky sheep excrection aswell.

Nice1 CCB, let us know how you get on.

Having owned Land Rovers for years, l am against clagging the underside of the vehicle with black "waxoyl" or similar products
All it does is, to cover up the rust and in some cases allow it to propagate behind the coating, which can make matters worse by effectively sealing in moisture. Our last Land Rover was "Dinitrol'd" and when l inspected it after a few years, rust was propagating behind the coating and large flakes of rusty steel could be scraped off.

I would use a spray grease or product such as XCP which is clear, and doesn't harden.

l looked under our 2020 Jimny and it does seem well protected as standard, but l will empty a few tins of XCP over the body mountings and inside the chassis rails.

Panels have to be the body so that leaves the structure as the chassis.
