SlamminBeats Posted March 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 fa sho, does adding sound deadener to both front doors and the back part of the trunk (not the wheel well area) yield noticeable gains in loudness to the ear?

Decaf Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) is AT a good product? im trying to save money, but everyone is saying that DAMP PRO is just way better Both are great products. This is the SS section though so thats as far as I'm goingI use just iso alcohol or windex to clean... something that doesnt leave residue that can get rid of dust and any oil/grease. Interiors will sound better, lows improve usually so its a win win Edited March 19, 2012 by Decaf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second Skin Rep Jon Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Well thanks guys, you pretty much covered everything. Just to reiterate... Prep the surface with denatured alcohol is fine. Mild soap and water works too. You can even use a heavier degreasers or acetone if it is really nasty. But whatever you do, stay away from citrus based cleaners as they tend to leave an oily residue that may prevent proper adhesion. Apply it to only the bare metal. And 13 sq. ft. is plenty for two doors. Quote Have a question about Second Skin? E-Mail me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second Skin Rep Jon Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 No, absolutely not. Very little, if anything, is achieved by using two, three, or more layers of product. Heck even 100% coverage on a panel isn't necessary. Installation of multiple layers is perpetuated by brands that sell poorly made (or even rebadged) material. They typically follow the "It's so cheap, you can use twice as much..." sort of tagline to sell their product. But test after test shows that is NOT the case. Start with covering the panel with 25% and see where that gets ya, you'll be surprised! Quote Have a question about Second Skin? E-Mail me!

Second Skin Rep Jon Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Shipping is calculated based on location. The closer you are to HQ (Tucson AZ), the cheaper it is. Hit up the site, throw some stuff in the cart, and go through the checkout process up to the point where it asks for payment info, on that page it will have the shipping calculated for you.
