Keen to hear what others do to protect paintwork and underside components through the winter- I've been close to buying lanoguard a few times now- has anyone documented how they have applied this and the longevity of it? For bodywork I'll probably use AG super resin wax
 
IMHO superior to Lanoguard (it gives a heavier coat) yet with all the same benefits. Much less expensive too...


Late summer each year I hose off the undersides and let it dry for a day or so. Then I change into the wife's pyjamas for protection and crawl underneath for a good spray. 20 minutes later its done and the Jim Jams are neatly folded and stashed undernher pillow.

It easily lasts a year, and would would probably go a lot longer. All the undersides, subframe, lower engine bay, inner arches and outer arch lips, scuttle, quick and easy.

Do you just do it all on the drive, or lift it up?

Thanks Sasquatch, sounds good, apart from the pyjamas. I'll take a look at the buzzweld stuff

Do you remove all the under-trays beforehand?
Everytime I have had to remove any under-trays (most notably when fitting my side bars) I have liberally sprayed ACF-50 or XCP on everything. But it is not something that I do every year.
 
I remove the engine under tray. The rest I give a good spray at gaps and under the edges and I'm pretty confident that gets the bulk of it.
