Soundskins Pro-Plus Premium 3 in 1 Sound Deadener 66 sq ft Workshop Roll -PROPLUS

Great product for my application. A lot better than what I thought I was gonna get. Great sound and vibration absorbing ability

When rolling on the material, the silver font does wear off

I drive nearly 100 miles back and forth to work with my GTI and on long trips the extra road noise gets tiring. I love my GTI but holding conversations on the highway is just not that great and I have to turn up music once I'm on the highway. I looked at options to reduce roadnoise and decided to give Soundskins a try.My MK7 GTI has no carpet underneath the rear bench and also not in the trunk. Metal starts resonating and noise enters the cabin. As my tires began to wear out, they became more noisy so this slowly started to bother me too.First I took out the rear bench and cleaned out the trunk, then cleaned the metal surfaces with rubbing alcohol so the Soundskins would stick better. I used a strong scissor for cutting it and it went throughbit like butter. It took a good hour and half to cut strips and stick them in the trunk and under the rear bench.I took a test drive and the first thing I noticed was how the woofer sounded cleaner with better defined punch. Then as I started driving 30-40mph I noticed that there was barely any sound/noise coming to rear of the cabin. Previously tire and road noise were more prevalent and now all noise was mainly coming from the front of the car.I did not use a dB meter but the difference to me was clear. My girlfriend was curious and she heard that the cabin was less noisy than before due to absence of noise from the rear as well (yah!)Next step is to treat all four doors and then I will place as much of the Soundskins under the front carpet as possible. I'll update this review with photos and results!So far I only used a fraction of the 66sqft role. I think 66 may be a bit too much for a small car like the GTI!02/28/23Added the driver door as well and watched a YouTube video of a guy taking the door trim off in 5min or less. It was a blood drawing and cussing event which took an hour but eventually that hurdle was cleared as well. I noticed the effect immediately in that less sound from the outside came in from the side of the car. Like another reviewer mentioned, passing cars now sound like "WHIFFF" and previously there was more tire noise and grunt from passing cars. As the car becomes more quiet, I'm starting to hear wind noise from the windows which I never heard before because all other noise was louder. When I have more time I'll finish the remaining three doors. Oh yes, definitely use this material on the inside of the door as well, as it prevents resonating and vibrating sounds. When I knock on the finished door it sounds like a "THUD" without echo. The unfinished door clearly sounds hollow. That's the best way that I can describe it.It is a lot of work but the results are definitely worth the effort. By the way, it is not necessary to cover surfaces for 100%. The main reason is that this material prevents the metal surfaces from resonating and causing high pitched white noise. That being said, I have so much material that I try to cover as much of the metal surfaces as possible.UPDATE 03/04/23Completed left and right front door and did a more thorough job on the inside of the right door and the difference in tire and road noise is just incredible. Previously at low speeds below 30mph the tire noise made itself known quite a bit but with two front doors completed, I can barely hear it. At speeds from 50-70mph I don't even hear increase in tire or road noise, that's how well it quiets down the cabin. The next and final step is the two rear doors and then this project is done. I cannot say anything other than good things about Soundskins, the reduction in cabin noise exceeds my expectation by far. It takes a lot of work but it is so much worth the effort in creating a quiet cabin where music sounds better and conversations no longer require raising your voice. I think I used 1/3 of the material so far.All right, another day of work, it took about 7h to complete the remaining three doors today and I have about half of the Soundskins material left. Also be sure to get one of those rollers to roll over the material for the best possible contact with the metal.

Great product, made a huge difference in removing the rattles and improving overall ambience within the car.

Exactly what was needed for my older model vehicle
