LANOLIN
RUST PROTECTION.
Sheep-wool oil that creeps into seams, never hardens, never cracks. The same coating we put on every vehicle in the Yelo team's personal garage.
Living in Minnesota means salt, slush, brine, snow, and constant freeze–thaw cycles every winter. These conditions take a serious toll on the underside of your vehicle — even on newer, high-value cars.
We use lanolin-based rust protection because it performs better than rubberized undercoating in real winter conditions. All of our personal vehicles have it. We've seen first-hand how it preserves frames over years of salt exposure.
THE PROTECTION YOU'RE PAYING FOR.
BONDS WHERE RUST HIDES
Lanolin creeps into seams, bolts, welds, and gaps where traditional petroleum coatings can't reach. It bonds to bare metal and pushes moisture out — exactly where rust starts.
SELF-HEALING, NEVER CRACKS
Because lanolin never hardens, minor scratches and impacts close themselves. No cracked rubberized coating trapping moisture underneath. No hidden rust pockets.
STAYS SOFT IN SUB-ZERO
Stays flexible at -20°F. Rubberized coatings get brittle and crack in deep cold — exactly when Minnesota roads have the most salt.
RESALE VALUE INSURANCE
Buyers, dealers, and inspectors look at the underside first. A clean frame and rust-free suspension significantly boost resale on a $60k+ vehicle. Lanolin is the cheapest insurance policy you can buy.
