    if lanox and lanotech are similar products, i use lanotech on the chain too.

    it is lanolin from the wool when they wash it.

    the ferries in Sydney harbour use lanotech to stop the barnacles from sticking themselves to the boats, as a result of it building a film over time they use less fuel per week because they “slip” through the water better.

    concrete formeres also use it on the form work to stop the water and cement sticking, they get 10 times the amount of forms before having to replace them.

    i haven’t done my plastics in some time.

    i sanded some of the smaller scratched out of the rear guard with wet and dry with a few grades until they were reduced in depth. then hit with some cheap spray can clear.

    end result looked good for the amount of effort put in.

    Yep Lanox is made from the lanolin from wool. I haven’t heard of Lanotech but can imagine it would do the same job and probably isn’t as dear as Lanox $85.00 for 4 liters. The 4 liter drum I have has lasted for years and we use it all the time.

    Mmm don’t use the Lannox on the engines parts for storage, yeah it’ll never corrode, and once dried you’ll never get it off,and everything sticks to it….yes this I have done :blush:

    Run over the scratched plastics carefully with a heat gun, all discolouration and fine scratches will disappear.

    get it right priceless
    get it wrong also priceless…:laugh:

    I still use the good old CT18 Truckwash,, spray on & leave overnight when real dirty,,,, Hose off and Voila- KLX all clean and shiny.
    It seems to coat the plastics as well;)

    I have used Lanotech on many other things for lubrication & it is good gear too :blink:
