What did you do to your P2 Volvo today?

This is the 850 with Lanoguard applied

Do you mask off the exhaust then?

[P80GLT]

The exhaust is the original that the car left the factory with (now almost 27 years old) I painted it with high temperature paint in 2021 and when I was applying the Lanoguard I held cardboard up to prevent it getting covered in the liquid

That’s the front end cleaned ready for Lanoguard. I was surprised at how little muck there was at the top of the strut towers and once cleaned I was pleasantly surprised at the lack of rust up there as it’s a known weak spot on the P2 V70s

Removed the back wheels today to get better access and managed to find a load more muck from inside some of the suspension arms.

Most of the muck was in this part, quietly sitting waiting for the next downpour so that it could rust a little more. A good douse in Lanoguard will sort it out

There was also quite a bit of muck in this arm but it looks to be a non ferrous metal so not as much of a concern

Bump stop plates were a little ragged round the outer edges

Good time to check behind them for rust

Painted and refitted, wheel arch liners de-tarred and will apply some Chemical Guys Bare Bones once the Lanoguard has been applied

That Ford Edge in far spot is also technically a Ford's version of XC60. Or, perhaps, the other way around.

One of the three cars on that picture does not have subframe rust

[BlackBart]

Mine....?

Volvo wagons - they’re my people!

Lanoguard completed today and just need to let it dry overnight
