Rust prevention - Lanolin

[weedave]

I know a lot of folk like to under seal their trucks, another way to do this and something i have used extensively on older vehicles - "Prolan" twice a year on everything metal under the trucks.
you will notice when washing the underside that water beads off, makes for much easier cleaning/maintenance.
Works a treat at keeping the old tin worm at bay and keeps bolts from binding etc.
One tip though, shove a tarp down or your driveway will be like an ice rink!!

4 litres will do the truck front to back, twice a year, heavy coats.

Here's a UK supplier in case anyone is keen.

I know from experience in the metal finishing industry that lanolin based protective coatings are a barstool to remove in some pre treatment plants.
I used to be able to get hold of this stuff in my old job

The next step up from “proper barstool” in the trade is “utter seanut”.
