I'm in the middle of insulating my car right now. I'm using the "Peel and Stick" stuff from Lowes first (1/8" thick) and then a layer of aluminum backed closed cell foam duct wrap (Frost King I think?)from Home Depot. It's about a 1/4" thick. The "Peel and Stick" I have has no smell. I'm not doing the roof of my car, so I'm not worried about it coming loose and falling. From what I've seen in the last week of working with it, once you put it down it's stuck. I am doing the floor and sides only, not the roof. I also can't picture heat being an issue. This is a product designed to live on a roof or as window flashing. Covering every surface completely with both products but the rear window shelf, what is totally unreachable on the firewall and whats behind the headliner I'll have just over $100 in materials.
