[QUOTE="blazian87, post: 8656208, member: 574798"] Sound deadening will devalue your car for sure if you're trying to sell it as a collector's car. Add things that will be removable like what jeff suggested. To give you an idea of what it takes to remove this stuff... well I removed some old dynamat that was on my previous car. I had it on the trunk for a few years during that time so it was stuck on there good. You can tell this stuff wasn't meant to be taken out. I ripped it all out anyway and all this black residue was stuck on there. I first tried goo gone, didn't work very well.. Then moved on to WD-40, worked a little better.. It took forever trying to scrub all that stuff off though so I eventually used something more industrial, Goof Off.. and it worked really well but it was a little too strong and thinned the paint while doing so. Still took me a very long time to get it nice and clean. Maybe 2 weeks total doing little by little everyday. The whole reason I did this was because when I did it the first time, I just put one fat layer of dynamat and called it a day. I was a total noob at the time and didn't know any better.
