i've never tried peel and seel but i love my second skin. i'd vote second skin or dynamat extreme. i have second skin damplifier and sludge in my saturn, its awesome stuff.. i also have some dynamat extreme, also great stuff.

dynamat is WAY overpriced. I use Hushmat, you don't have to heat it up to put it on, you don't have to worry about taking it off, although time consuming, it is pretty easy to remove if needed. Plus it is about 20% lower in price than Dynamat.

second skin is the best on the market ramm mat is the best for the price.

I don't like asphalt based stuff.
I used to lay asphalt, the epitome of a shit job, but I digress...

Its not the smell of the stuff that bothers me... I had an old 4dr boat, 83 Olds Delta 88 Royale Brougham. It had some asphalt type stuff in the trunk, came installed at the factory. When it was hot outside, I'd get melted tarry spooge all over me and anything I had back there. It was nasty stuff.

I don't want to deal with anything like that again, so butyl rubber is my choice. Costs more, but you don't have to worry about mess, or it falling off inside the doors.

I went with Secondskin. Join their forum and get 20% off.

Peel and Seal is fine for like... floors under carpeting, but it's not that much cheaper, and to make it really stick, you need to prep well, then heat it with either a propane torch or a heat gun, and use a roller to get some pressure on it. Once it's melted on, it's not likely to come off. Overall, it's not a significant savings, requires more work, and its not as effective (thick) as SecondSkin anyhow.

i use peel and seal on my trunk lid and front doors.. i think it works great.. i believe i paid ~40 for a 12" x 33' roll.. here is a link to lowe's.. they have the 4" x 33' roll for 8 bucks!

ice shield or peel and seal is asphault based. it'll stink for a couple weeks, and the adhesion is poor on metal, but it's dirt cheap.

real audio grade sound damping mat has better adhesives for painted sheet metal, tends to be a bit thicker, and is butyl based, so no stink. second skin, etc.. whichever you want to buy.

I also use liquid deadener like LizardSkin and eDead v3 for things like the floorpans of cars and trunk lining. I mat surfaces like door skins and ceilings, and use expanding foam to get areas I can't reach with the first two solutions.

will you guys be mad if i went with Peel and Seel anyway? lol... no but seriously... i need some cheap a$$ stuff guys.. i know its like car audio, you pay for what you get.. but im lookin for the best for the money.. and i dont want to spend near a $100 for any of it.. i just want my trunk to quit rattleing period, or close to it..

What about the stuff at walmart? How well would that work?? lol

i was tryin to find some "testimonials" or whatever about Peel And Seel and someone mentioned that WAl Mart stuff, that Scosche makes, i think they said its called Dead Beat... anyway what about it? me and Matt will represent it.
