LANOSHIELD ANTI-CORROSION SPRAY FROM £17 (500ML SPRAY)
Developed by Ashton Marine Services, who spend most of their time working to solve corrosion issues in salty seawater, this new eco-friendly rustproofing spray is simple to apply, non-toxic and 100 per cent natural. Kits of varying sizes (including a two-litre car kit that comes complete with a one-metre hose for applying in hard-to-reach areas) are available. And because the lanolin-based product is thin enough to be sprayed through the supplied hand-pump, you don’t need a compressor – making it simpler than ever to keep on top of your classic’s rustproofing schedule. lanoshield.co.uk

The dual-colour display indicates polarity together with a data-hold function that allows the measured value to be displayed on screen for three seconds after the probe has been removed from the voltage source.
