Underseal
Has anyone used Lanoguard underseal products? A farmer mate sometimes lets his sheep into the home paddock, where most of the implements are. The sheep scratch their backs on ones they can get under, an these bits never go rusty. . .

Have seen them on Facebook but dont know anyone who uses it. I use Dinitrol products, excellent. I also use a rust converter on anything bare or inside door, chassis etc. Rust converter was once used at our gas terminal on rusty pipes and structures just to slow the rust, years later these are still the same condition.
These folks have a good process to copy or they charge about £700 for a full service: https://preserveprotect.co.uk/

Avoid underseal unless the metal is 100% spot on- any rust can just fester:~
Far better products are now available as being mentioned- Bilt Hamber also do a descent range- Dinatrol is good- Wax treatments diluted with clean engine oil for spraying is another. Good luck Bob. Last edited by Bob Meadows; Jan 23rd, 2021 at 13:10. |

My 142 was a rolling resto at this stage, I followed the process that I linked you to above except for the rear araches. I stripped them back of underseal and surface rust, rust converter on steel, Jotamastic 87 on all, gravitex and then it also got a coat of Dinitrol when doing all of the underneath.

What i'm doing is, whole interior out, except dash an controls, for welding back end, bits at front. Then back to mine, up on blocks, all running gear off, engine /box out. Then clean, remaining underseal off to good original or bare metal as seems required. Then rust converter, then what paint?, then dinitrol? Sound good? Then back together, to paint shop, total respray. Not going concours, just no rust an pretty paint. It'll be everyday pleasure/workhorse.
