Yes, but they're not exactly chalk and cheese are they.
A chap had his Range done before me, used around 1.5l of Lano and an hours labour more.

A friends uncle used to thin down Hammerite with something like paraffin and paint the farm gates with it, they never rusted but you couldn't ever lean on them, haha.
Some of the serious Landrover boys round here are saying Buzzweld WAR, doesn't wear off, they own a Garage that specialises in Land Rovers, seen everything on the market, say sheds mud like teflon, when I get round to it, that's what I'll be using on defender & van.
It was the LR forums where I seen the buzzweld recommended, in particular the WAR product you've mentioned. It looks amazing tbh. But I just wanted something I could bang on after a chassis clean n dry. I think if your going to the expense of the WAR then you've also to invest the time to correctly prep, treat, and apply. I can jet wash the blackit and it's good for 18 months or so. Usually ready for a reapplication around the 18-24 month period. Apparently the WAR you can blast with a shotgun and it's still good to go
I use smooth Hammerite, then apply Lanoguard.
Also used Lanoguard on my Ifor Williams P6e trailer, including the wheels.
The next day both trailer tyres had deflated.
The Lanoguard had interacted with the rusty wheel rims and caused the tubeless tyres to go flat.
Had to clean the Lanoguard off, break the beads on the tyres and reseal them to resolve the issue.
So be careful applying Lanoguard near any tubeless tyres.

This is a very helpful thread. I need to get my Grand Vitara done. Last summer had a quote of £1500 to have it Dinitrol treated. Buzz weld is about 5 mins for me and I called by on Monday. Very nice guy frantically busy but truck to go in ASAP. Full steam clean prior to treatment.
Will update

If you are going to do a proper job then the inside of the chassis needs flushing, drying and sprayed inside too.

If you choose the lanolin route like I did then I'd go with lanoclear or lanoblack that are sold by Carbusonic. I found it a lot better than the main brand everyone goes for, Lanogard. Its cheaper too, and you can choose clear or a nice matte black finish that makes the chassis look new. Really is great stuff. When I bought lanogard a few years ago I had a dodgy batch that didn't set and it washed off straight away, and customer service was terrible, I think the company has got a bit complacent and hiding behind their big brand name.
