cmonsterVR6 Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Sorry if this is a repeat question, I couldn't find anything. I plan on beginning to install my Damp Pro tomorrow. That being said, what should I use to clean and prep the surface really well. I got some 3M adhesive remover to get the old residue off. Should I degrease (ie Purple Power) it? It's a 92 so it's pretty nasty under the carpet. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amart88 Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 I always use rubbing alcohol. You don't want to use anything citrus. It will leave an oily residue behind. Castrol Super clean will work also. Quote My 2005 s10 blazer build. 4 zcon 18's walled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emperorjj1 Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 acetone works good too. i always go over it with a wet rag first go get as much nasty off as possible. then go over it with the acetone on a diff rag and do a 3rd run with a fresh wet rag Quote J.

I used acetone. Grab some of your old lady's (or moms, and, im sorry) nail polish remover.

cmonsterVR6 Posted April 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 I do have another question, I've begun installing the Damplifier Pro and now I'm wondering how you sound deaden between the outer skin and inner metal framing. Also, what's the best stuff for doing this task? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emperorjj1 Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 in the door or what? Quote J.

cmonsterVR6 Posted May 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 in the door or what? It was not on the door but the same concept. It's in the hatch area, there's about a 3-4" gap between the internal framing and the outer skin. I bought some "Great Stuff" but haven't tried it out yet.

emperorjj1 Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 and you can't get in there to install second skin? Great stuff really isn't a good sound dampening product. It has its uses to stop noise but its not as effective as most make it seem. Quote J.

rick1987 Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 My trunk lid was a PITA to do. There were a lot of places I couldn't reach. Hopefully it works out alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
