Yes, and this is the response i got Under seal costs nearly 2600.00 , it is purely bitumen based product , it will also serve your purpose , but the differnce in stone guard is it is a mixure of plastic resins and bitumin , therefor after application it will be 100% dryed within 20 minutes , and it can be over paintable . In undreseal after application it will not be in a 100% dryed condition . Quote:

I seriously have my doubts if these spray ons would help much in sound deadening and reduction in the nvh. Maybe 5-10% but i have my doubts. Using a dampening sheet would surely be more effective. | Quote:

They will gladly send an expert person who comes with the spray gun and finishes your job quite professionally. You pay a nominal charge for labour, directly to the applicator (around Rs. 250/-). I paid my guy Rs. 500/- and he really took great care when doing the job and also made sure the product was not diluted.
I would go for Wurth anyday. |
Ok, they have quoted me 2600/-, will give another 400 to the guy and that makes it 3K. Won't they do it for the whole underbody, or is it just the wheel wells? Quote:

They didnt give me the price per can, but INR3.5K for Underbody seal(Synthetic) and INR2.6 for Underseal(Bitumen). One of my colleagues mentioned that he got the 1 liter can for Underbody seal(Synthetic aka Stoneguard black) for 900/- (Mar/April 2011) and used up 2 cans. Including labor and service center charges, it cost him 2.5K. Quote:

Yes, of course the almost-solid damping sheets are better, but this one is an acceptable alternative to reduce the rumbling noise that comes through the suspension. |
I dont have plans to do a full floor damping with sheets. Also being a car, this might yield better results, when compared to a Jeep. Moreover, I don't want dead silence inside the cabin, I would love to know when a bearing goes bad.
