    How prep inside of body?

    How did you prep inside of body before applying sound deadener/flocking ?
    I know about scrubbing the outside with wax remover, comet, scotchbrite, etc...
    Is it the same for inside?

    thanks,
    Ron

    Factory Five does not use any wax or even spray the back side of their car bodies with PFA to cap them off when they are pulled from the molds...To make sure I just called them (Factory Five) and they confirmed that they are NOT doing anything to the inside of the body...

    With that said, you just need to make sure that it is clean enough to accept your coating.

    Happy Body/Bed Lining!

    Make sure that you tape off anywhere you might be doing any body filling (the inside of the fender edges, around the nose etc.) Kittlyhair, Rage Gold etc. do not adhere well to undercoating.
