Rust is more than just a cosmetic flaw; it's the silent killer of vehicles, leading to significant structural damage and extremely high repair costs. We're experts in automotive preservation, using dry ice cleaning and high-quality rust treatment substances to extend your vehicle's life as long as possible. Our expert rust protection services and the revolutionary dry ice blasting method provide exceptional protection for your car.
Rust occurs when iron, a significant component of most cars, reacts with oxygen in the presence of water. This reaction forms iron oxide, commonly known as rust, which can severely degrade a vehicle's integrity over time.
Factors contributing to rust include:
Environmental Exposure: High humidity and saltwater exposure increase rust risk.
Chemical Exposure: Road salts accelerate rusting by increasing metal exposure to moisture.
Physical Damage: Scratches or dents expose the underlying metal, starting the rusting process.
Common rust-prone areas include wheel wells, the undercarriage, the engine bay, and the sills.

Effective ways to protect your vehicle from rust include:
Regular Cleaning: Keep your car free of dirt, grime, and salt, especially in rust-prone areas.
Protective Coatings: Use wax and sealants to shield exposed parts from moisture.
Regular Inspections: Detect and address rust early to prevent major issues.
Apply rust protection before rust starts or as soon as you notice the first signs. Early application ensures maximum protection and longevity.
Ice blasting is the ideal preparation for rust protection. Unlike jet washing, which requires drying time, or wire wheeling, which is messy and time-consuming, ice blasting provides a clean, dry surface ready for treatment immediately. This ensures a superior finish and longer-lasting protection.
Non-Abrasive: Doesn't scratch or damage the underlying metal.
No Secondary Waste: Leaves no additional residues, making it environmentally friendly.
Surface Preparation: Effectively removes rust and prepares the surface for further treatment.
As a Lanoguard application centre, we specialise in protecting your vehicle from rust. Lanoguard forms a durable, water-repellent barrier that shields against rust and corrosion. We also use other rust treatment substances tailored to your vehicle's needs.
After applying Lanoguard, your vehicles can be driven after 24-48 hours, though it will take one week to fully cure, ensuring maximum protection. When your vehicle is with us for Lanoguard application, it will be kept in a secure and dry facility while the treatment dries.
We offer a one-off cost for the Lanoguard application at £195, but we recommend pairing it with ice blasting for the best results. While jet washing is available, it is not advised due to longer drying times and less effective results.
