Booking your car in

We are based near Whitchurch in Hampshire. We will work on your car at our workshop.

For Lanoguard applications, the car is drivable after 8 hours, so if you can drop your car off with us between 8-9am, it will be ready by the end of the day.

For convertible roofs, we apply two coats of protection after the initial clean. After each treatment, the roof needs time to dry. On a warm day, this is easily completed in a day, as black roofs dry very quickly in the sun, but on a cold winter day, we might need more time.

Please let us know on booking if you have any specific timings or deadlines so that we can plan in the work.

We are based near Whitchurch, Hampshire, 2 minutes from the A34, and 5 mins from the A303. Whitchurch also has mainline railway station to London or Salisbury and is a 30 minute walk or 5 min drive. With prior approval, we can drop you or pick you up at the station.

Lanoguard Protection

What is it?

Lanoguard protects all vehicle underbodies and chassis from rust, salt, acid, alkaline & electrolysis. It stays in place for a long time, is jet wash proof and natural. It is sourced and made in the UK.

  • Salt, acid and alkaline resistant

  • Hermetically seals the surface so oxidation can’t occur - stops rust forming or continuing

  • Waterproof

  • Jet wash resistant to 3000 psi or 200 bar - won't be displaced and will keep protecting after cleaning

  • Petroleum resistant - petrol or diesel spillages or leakages wont displace it nor mix with it

  • Non-conductive to 70,000 volts - safe to use on all electrics and circuit boards

  • Prevents electrolysis - no more seized nuts and bolts or outboard motor legs

  • Non-evaporative - it won't dry out like normal grease, leaving un-lubricated or unprotected parts

  • Heat resistant to 450 degrees celsius

  • Adheres to all surfaces

  • Non-leaching - it won't spread to other adjoining surfaces and material

  • Non perishing - safe to use on all rubbers

  • Lubricating - amazingly low friction coefficient

  • Ecologically sound - it can be used safely in marine environments

  • Non-petroleum based 

Benefits

  • Protects against rust and corrosion

  • Prevents rust developing further

  • Year-long protection

  • Helps retain value in the vehicle

  • Proven protection in the harshest conditions

  • Works on any vehicle

  • Reduces the risk of repairs and replacements

How is it applied?

Preparation of your vehicle for Lanoguard is a key part of the process, see the MX5 video on our YouTube channel which details the steps we take, these include:

  • Chassis Snow Foam solution used to clean the underside

  • Jet Wash

  • Dry the vehicle

  • Wire brush any loose rust and stiff brush used on any remaining loose debris

We then apply Lanoguard:

  • First using Lanoguard concentrated Moto Grease

  • Followed by Lanoguard underbody Moto Spray

We will WhatsApp you a before and after video of the underside of your car and highlight any areas of concern.We will inspect the underside of your vehicle and then prepare it for treatment. In most cases, brushing off dirt or loose rust is enough to prepare the surface. If this is insufficient, we will use a jet washer for a deeper clean.

With the wheels in place on some low cars, there can be a restriction on how much of the underside we can reach. As an additional service, we can remove the wheels allowing a rust treatment of the wheel arches and further coverage of the suspension arms and brake components. See a video of BMW M3 getting this treatment on our YouTube channel.

How often

Lanoguard recommend an annual application, but we would consider extending this for lightly used cars.

Convertible Roof Protection

What is it?

Convertible roof protection helps protect your roof from damage from the elements. The protection that we apply is highly waterproof and UV resistant.

Benefits

  • Helps your roof repel water and keep your car water tight

  • UV protection will improve the longevity of the roof from sun damage

  • Helps to stop water ingress and steamed up windows

  • Prevents interior mould and odours caused by excessive damp

  • Keeps your convertible roof looking great and working well

  • Allows you to use your convertible all year round - whatever the weather

How is it applied?

The roof is thoroughly washed using a mix of Ph neutral snow foam, then a dedicated roof cleaning formula. Once dried, we then apply the first coat of protection, allow that to dry, and then apply the second coat of protection.

Sometimes the rubber seals on a convertible can dry with age. If we notice this is the case, we recommend applying a lubricant to protect and improve the performance of the rubber surfaces. This can often reduce squeaks and improves the sealing process onto windows and the windscreen. This service will be charged as an extra, but only carried out after your approval.

How often

We recommend this procedure is carried out annually.
