Vehicle Underbody (Clear Coat) Protection

[Klenchblaize]

I'm mindful there are many vehicle 'experts' on SD so what is the best clear coat application out there in 2026?

To be clear I'm not interested in smothering everything in a black wax-oil as such is for those Landrover chassis that have reached their sell by date and will conseal a multiplicity of ills to the untrained eye.

I'm of a mind to do the application myself as having reached out to no less than 3 (three) so-called official Lanoguard Aplication Centres, not one has responded!

Thanks

Lanogaurd is easy as pie to apply yourself. I did my L200 with it a couple years back, and would use it again for sure.
Just don't apply it just before visiting a drive-thru safari park, the lions get VERY interested in where the sheep smell is coming from!! I won't make that mistake again!

Another one for Lanoguard here….excellent product! Not many lions up here in Assynt/Coigach……

I've just watched the following:

Unless the testing is subject to manipulation of the AI or other variety there are two clear winners. That one of these products is said to be available in a clear format has all but made up my mind.

Very intresting that Lanoguard did not do well at all.

Just looking at doing my truck. I had a good look at the options and bought bilt Hamber dynax. It comes in clear and dark brown.

 

[calumb]

I used the dark brown, you can see what parts you have done rather than the clear

I had the full Dinitrol treatment on the suzuki jimny. Not cheap but hope it's worth it

Tha5 was a good video K.
Might have to rethink in the future.

I was going to suggest Lanoguard.
Last year was my 1st year with it, must admit I was quite impressed with how easy it went on.
And still looks ok

I'm just about to give my pick up, quad and trailers a good pressure wash and retreat.
So I'll see wot the chassis looks like when i get under them.

I done the underside off my main quad trailer, and I'm impressed how much is still on as it spends a lot off time driving through rashy fields so I thought that would off rubbed it all away. Esp with rain or dew on the vegetation.

I will say I gave everything a hood hammeriting 1st before I treated with language so not onto bare metal.

1 thing I will add to any pick up owners, esp older.
Give ur spare wheel lifting mechanism a right good going over with lubricant.
They can be a bugger to lower if full of dirt/rust.
My last pick up i had to cut spare off with a grinder.
Lucky I check as soon as I buy a pick up.

A lot of the landrover geeks round here swears by Buzzweld. it doesn't rub off, but not transparent. Nephew used it, he reckons its holding up!
