Latest visitor to Zedshed Cymru today was newish owner James with his white E89 from 2010. Its only got 7k miles on the clock and has led a sheltered life all backed up by previous MOT's. It is immaculate on top and once on the lift the underside was in fantastic condition just some very small surface rust on some of the running gear. Purpose of the visit was to apply some Lanoguard to the underside as a preventative measure. Using the supplied spray gun it was easy to apply, we started at the rear and worked our way forward on each side. Everything was given a good coating and adheared to the surfaces and got into the nooks and cranny's very well. We probably spent an hour applying it, decided not to put any on the engine bay, given the amount of dust these cars suck into the engine bay we didn't want to give it a coated surface to stick to, easy enough to keep it clean with wipe overs and some polish now and then.
James kindly offered to let me give my E85 a coating, I already Waxoyled mine when I aquired the car, even behind the arch liners but this Lanoguard certainly smartened up the running gear and added even more protection. We even had a quarter of the bottle left after doing mine.
Going forward we plan to have a day pulling the wing liners out and giving the areas covered by them a good coating of Lanoguard.IMG_20230817_122436137_HDR.jpg

I want to thank Colin @ Z shed Cymru for letting me use his lift to Lanoguard my Z4. The previous owner obviously looked after her, apart from not buying a cat to catch the mouse who had a good nibble of some insulation around a hose in the engine bay🤣.I feel I need to give the same if not better attention to my Z going forward.
We or should I say Colin gave the underneath of the car a great coating of Lanoguard Spray and grease for the heavy duty areas. What a great product, easy to apply, no masking up required. If it is good enough for Dublin airport’s salt lorries it will do for my Z. The great thing is I can still see my Z in her birthday suit after it has been applied and can get to her nuts and bolts as god intended.
It was great to meet Colin, a real expert on Z’s, and a real nice guy to say the least. I am new to the Z scene and Colin has made me welcome and given me some great advice and pointers. 👍👍👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏆

It was a bit of luck really. Went and had a look at a classic car in a garage, not any good. This was in the corner and looked as if it was brand new, with 5 BMW services.

When the salesman said some boy racer would end up buying it, I decided I could not let that happen.

Therefore my owning a classic car dream I had for many years went out the door and a new dream with a relatively modern car has began. Been great so far 👍👍🚖
