Chassis Guard Lanolin Oil Underbody 1000ML Tin

PLEASE NOTE:- THIS PRODUCT IS AVAILABLE FOR TESTING AND FEEDBACK AT A REDUCED COST. IT IS NOT A FINISHED PRODUCT AND NO GUARANTEES ARE MADE AS TO ITS PERFORMANCE.  This product has been for sale for around 12 months as "Tool Wipe" whilst we gathered feedback, and became more familiar with the materials used.

This product is made and developed by Craig @Buzzweld HQ in Bristol. The product basis is slightly different to other lanolin products out there (the main carrier is certainly different), and we have not used "Lan" or "lanolin" in the product name. We have done this because we believe in creating unique products that sell on their merits alone, instead of copying other brands successes. We are also designing new artwork, so this product may come in a white label for now.

The aim of this coating is to typically last 6>12 months, but be more economical than other coatings for this duration. We are trying to get a protected vehicle cost down from around £70 a year, to closer to £15>£20.

Product Pro's

• 6>12 month protection prior to topup *
• Cheap! we aim to make this product as cheap as we possibly can whilst fulfilling the product criteria.
• Great for topping up existing treatments new and old
• High penetration into existing corrosion
• Hydrophobic to shed water and minimise latent moisture build up 
• Easy to remove
• Non Toxic
• Fully Biodegradeable (packaging will not initially meet this criteria whilst we work on the core product)
• Ultra Low VOC, and absolutl y minimised harmful emissions during curing (100 G/L for the hand sprayer)
• clear so you visually inspect the substrate
• superb as a wood treatment  / preservative
• Trim wipe
• Tool Wipe (this product has been sold as "Tool Wipe" for over a year currently)
• Re clarifies headlights
• Restores deep colour on paints
• Can be used as an oil based paint additive (in tinned form)
• Great as a cavity treatment with great rust penetration and creep
• Cheap enough to use for a multitude of things, even cleaning surfaces
• Drives heavy corrosion from the base steel over time
• Potentially a superb patina protector

Cons

• Clear- we have no plans or intention to release a coloured version. This product is aimed squarely at low cost protection vs time. Nothing else.
• Slight tack. initial testing the product does not attract dirt and muck unless applied very heavily. The aim is to eventually get a full hard cure.
• Slow cure. As a result of us minimising the VOC content this product takes a good 12 hours to tack. ideally needs longer before use such as 24 hours.
• Work in progress. This is not a finished product, but i think we are somewhere very close.

Useage

• Remove any mud
• Heavier corrosion can be removed to increase product penetration, or can be left and topped up later on be aware that large lumps of rust (delamination) can come off and not be fully penetrated. If you treat a vehicle with lumps of rust, ensure you inspect and topup more often whilst the corrosion is driven off the base metal by Chassis Guard over time.
• 3>6 month protection apply one heavier coat and fully seal the surface.
• 6>12 month protection, apply one full covering coat, and leave for 48 hours or more. Then apply a full second "heavy" coat. protect from getting wet, and allow to become touch dry prior to use
• We recommend visual inspections are placed every 3 months for higher wear areas such as backs of wheel arches, and the rear 1/4 of most vehicles.

Whilst chassis guard is largely made of food grade, or derived from food grade materials, do not ingest it and take steps to not breath it in. Such PPE as a dust mask, goggles and gloves are recommended.

* note, the hand sprayers have 10% less film build which may translate to 10% less longevity if you did an identical film coat vs the aerosol or tinned versions. However it is easier and far more convenient to apply so a second or third coat is far easier. Ultimatly this product is designed as a sacrificial maintenance coat.
