Chassis Guard Lanolin Oil Underbody 2.5L Tin
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). 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.
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.
Benefits of Chassis Guard
- 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
- Ultra Low VOC, and absolutely minimised harmful emissions during curing
- Clear so you visually inspect the substrate
- Superb as a wood treatment / preservative
- Plant based. Not petro chemical based*
- Safe on rubber and plastics- Chassis guard actually nourishes and rejuvenates them.
- anti- corrosive Tool Wipe (this product has been sold as "Tool Wipe" for over a year currently)
- Re clarifies headlights
- Restores deep colour on paints, especially bedlinens
- Can be used as an oil based paint additive (use tinned for up to 5%) for better flow and anti corrosive characteristics)
- Great as a cavity treatment with great rust penetration and creep
- Cost effective enough to use for a multitude of things, even cleaning surfaces
- Drives heavy corrosion from the base steel over time
- Superb patina preserver
Drawbacks of Chassis Guard
- 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.
- Slow cure. As a result of us minimising the VOC content this product takes a good 12 hours to touch dry. ideally needs longer before use such as 24 hours.
How to use Chassis Guard
- 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.
Application / mixing of Chassis Guard
*Hand sprayers contain 10>15% white spirit currently.

I was put off by how I expensive my usual rust proofing brand had become so I thought I would give this a go as it's significantly better value. I am very happy with the results. If you follow the instructions (most importantly warming it in a bucket of water if you are using a hand sprayer) then it goes on very nicely and forms a nice shiny even film.

Brilliant product. Speaking from personal experience, don’t bother with applying with a hand held spray applicator, instead go for the SCHUTZ gun option. A small amount goes a long way and you can fire it into every part of the chassis.

Simply an amazing product 05 April 2024 | Gary
I ordered a 2.5l tub of Chassis Guard a year ago. I have used / tested it on both cars and motorcycles in my garage, especially the motorcycles I restore and specifically those that are mothballed. It has exceeded all expectations and is exceptional in both coverage, salt protection and longevity - it's also very easy to remove should the need arrise. I literally wouldn't recommend or use anything else! Awesome stuff!

Excellent water repellency 07 December 2023 | Nick
I applied this to our work van 3 months ago. We included the tow bar to be able to keep an eye on the hydrophobic properties of this product easily (instead of having to get on our hands and knees!). The van gets washed regularly, with a number of products. The Chassis Guard is still active now, and when the van recently went for service the garage commented on how clean and well preserved the underbody is (2010 Transit Connect).
