This stuff is really expensive and I cannot afford to do the whole car at once, question is, what is the best place to start and then move to next? to get the most effectiveness

also, Stevdart............that sheeting you used in your car from McMaster, I live in Arizona, do you think it will stand up to that kinda heat? I don't usually but the "ASPHALT" sented air fresheners.

to actually answer your question, I would start with the doors, unless you are a trunk rattlin mofo from da wesside, then please do your trunk...for your neighbors sake.

Seriously, the doors are about the only thing that I have done in my last couple cars. I filled most everything else up with expanding foam insulation.

all bad things come in moderation. do not shop at fry's. Get your own log in Omar.

I still have the car that I installed that stuff in. Haven't smelled asphalt for 4 years. But I didn't skip (too many) steps when I installed it, either. I helped the glue a little by using a quick spray of 3M 77 directly to the sheet metal, and made sure that I wiped the metal clean first. I didn't go that extra mile by cleaning the metal with denatured alcohol, but that is a step that will ensure best adhesion. For the rolling, I used a heavy steel seam roller that I used to use in paperhanging. I don't think it's the heat of the day that will cause failure...I think it's the installation of the product.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

I did peel and seal from home depot over my floor and pillars. I had a slight asphalt smell for a day or so. My alarm has shown just over 116 degrees in cab.
