I've been spraying the underneath of the Wrangler with a sheep byproduct that I'm hoping will help keep rust away. Lanolin is a good rust preventive, as many farmers already know. Lanolin is a greasy, waxy substance taken from sheep wool after shearing. In Tauranga, ProLan NZ manufactures a range of lanolin lubricants, corrosion inhibitors and anti-seizes and it was to this helpful company that I went for my $84 four-litre can of liquid lanolin, plus a spray applicator. Mostly, ProLan can be wiped on, but the spray is good for reaching difficult spots. I've done the entire chassis and the ARB bumpers a couple of times now, and still have heaps left in the container. The waxy residue certainly feels like it will do the job, but only time will tell.
Update: Six months on, the trigger mechanism of the sprayer started leaking badly, wasting a lot of the product. I emailed ProLan to ask if this was to be expected. Apparently it isn't and they had a new unit and spare trigger mechanism on its way by courier next morning, at no cost. Great customer service, guys!

Its good stuff, better than dear rust treatments.
ReplyDeleteIve treated my Bighorn with this stuff for ages and I think its money well spent. If U start when the vehicles new U cant go wrong.
ReplyDeleteI'm also using it on my Land Rover, but like you it's too early to tell how well it works. I enjoy your site by the way.
ReplyDeleteI do a lot of beach driving and have used this stuff for quite a while. Seems to work well.
