Degreaser works wonders. Pressure washer will too.
I just watched some u tube vids on doing this. Pretty useful info

1990 Blazer Daily Driver build..700 might be dying

I Bissel'd it and then pressure washed it. Definitely made a difference. Just faded I think.
Thanks! Metal and stone is nice and tough.
Made some more solid progress last night.
Finished the bed floor and fenderwells. There is some uncovered spots in the corners, but I am down to 50 sq/ft of FatMat left so I wanted to make sure I got the cab floor done.
Also got the glass run felts, inner, and outer seals installed on the driver door. I put three large squares of FatMat inside the door on the outer skin and a few strips on the inner door structure. New foam on the door panel as well.

Im stoked your doing this. Considering the sound proofing is in reality the only change. Along with weather stripping.
The 2 biggest things for noise. Wind and road. Very interested in your results

Me too!
It sounds very solid from my extensive scientific testing. (when you knock on it there is a nice dull thud instead of a bong noise)
Does the bong noise sound like boiling water?
Short night last night. Apparently staying up till midnight a few nights in a row isn't ok with my body any more. Got the passenger side door all re-sealed, and the driver floor done with FatMat.
Interested to see how this FatMat does. Need to do the same for my 78.

I did dynomatt in mine and didn't use near that much. Mine sounds like a lead coffin, even with open headers.
Not sure if that's good.

I just got caught up with your build. Looks like fun.
I'm here for the results of the seals and weatherstripping. I've been waffling on ordering from them and starting to work my way through each door on the burb. Also appreciate the tip on fatmat. That'll save me some money because I need to take care of the doors. The floor has been done with dynamat and a closed cell foam. The carpet is still original and I'm tempted to replace it. It's just not bad enough to justify it.
Keep up the good work.

Which ones? They are all pretty simple. I've never tackled any seal stuff before, but now that I know how simple it is I won't hesitate to fix my other rigs.
I didn't make any progress last night. I was tired and hung out with the woman for the evening.
