Friend and i decided to sound deaden our cars, not fully but just in the wheel arch to reduce the tyre noise getting into the cabin. so here is. there is a video for those visual learners.
tools:
1x car jack
1x car stand (optional but be safe)
1x Sound Deadening spray (purchased from autobarn for 10 bux)
1x wax n degrease remover ( autobarn again )
1x something to scrub the grim off the wheel arch
1x a friend (thx timmy)
METHOD
step1 : jack the car up, you all know how to do this so im not gona bother covering
step2 : get your sponge or wateva and mix it with wax and degreaser remover and start scrubbing your dirty wheel archs.
it takes ALOT of effort and as you can see in the video it was already dark by the time ONE wheel arch was finished lol :eek:
step 3 : make sure the surface is pretty clean and dry it with a towel.
step 4 : cover parts of car that you dont wish to get sprayed on. eg LCA, brakes, outside pannels etc.
step 5: even layered spray of your inner wheel arch. let it dry then repeat for atleast 3 layers.
step 6: let it dry and your done.
step 7: repeat with other wheels.
VIDEO:
here is a short 1min video of the processes. sorry being so dark. it took longer than we expected to get the grim off.
