Rust Protection with Lanoguard

What is Lanoguard, and why do we at Vivid Element recommend it?
Lanoguard is a versatile corrosion/rust prevention and waterproofing spray and grease product with a range of features making it perfectly suited to protecting the underside of vehicles. The underbody of your vehicle can often be neglected or simply forgotten about so this is the perfect solution to prevent corrosion forming and existing corrosion spreading.
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. Lanoguard doesnât remove existing rust, but it does bond to the metal surface below â over time it will slowly seep underneath surface rust and push off oxidation. It doesnât remove rust completely, but it can improve and nourish the surface over time.
We all know how rust and corrosion can potentially cause expensive damage to both body and components of a vehicle so protection is the answer.
Lanoguard is a truly brilliant product that we endorse 100% and that is why we became an application centre.
Itâs our job to present your vehicle in the best possible way after performing one of our classic details but unfortunately we have not been able to address the sometimes unsightly looks of the underside until now.
Knowing also that we are potentially helping to reduce costly garage repairs bills associated with rust and corrosion is very important to us.
