Hyundai Palisade Undercoating Review — Quiet Ride

Transform Your Hyundai Palisade with Advanced Soundproofing

Are you seeking a quieter driving experience in your Hyundai Palisade, particularly in the Jeonju region? Many SUV owners find the road noise and vibrations intrusive, wishing for the serene cabin of a sedan. This review details a comprehensive soundproofing project performed at the O-neul-ui-car Jeonju branch, focusing on interior floor and fender sound deadening to significantly reduce noise pollution. With over a decade of expertise, their technicians deliver exceptional results.

Detailed Interior Floor Soundproofing Process

Achieving a truly quiet cabin starts with meticulous preparation. The process for the Hyundai Palisade involved the complete removal of the first and second-row seats, along with all interior trim panels. This allows for direct access to the vehicle's floor pan. The O-neul-ui-car team, boasting over 10 years of experience in interior component removal and reinstallation, ensures each part is handled with precision, preventing any damage and guaranteeing a perfect reassembly. While this detailed approach takes time, it allows for a level of thoroughness that significantly enhances the final soundproofing effect.

The core of the floor soundproofing utilizes O-neul-ui-car's proprietary 'Premium Extreme 3-Layer Composite Mat.' This specialized 6mm thick material, a blend of butyl, aluminum, and foam, is engineered to effectively absorb vibrations and dampen noise. Applied directly to the flat surfaces of the vehicle's floor, it creates a barrier against road noise. The soundproofing extends beyond the main floor area; the side interior trim panels are also removed to treat the inner fender (wheel well) areas. This comprehensive approach ensures maximum noise reduction and maintains accessibility to critical components like wiring, connectors, and the fuel pump for future maintenance.

Fender Soundproofing for Ultimate Road Noise Isolation

The fender soundproofing stage for the Hyundai Palisade begins with the removal of the wheels and wheel well covers. It's important to note that if your vehicle already has a polymer undercoating, fender soundproofing may be more challenging, so confirming this beforehand is advised. O-neul-ui-car performs a thorough degreasing process before applying 100% butyl sound deadening pads to the entire inner surface of the wheel wells. This meticulous application targets vibrations generated by tire contact with the road and general road noise.

While the factory wheel well covers often have some basic sound-absorbing material, O-neul-ui-car enhances this by adding a layer of D3-grade 'Shinsulator' using ultrasonic welding. This dual-layer absorption technique is a key part of their strategy to maximize noise cancellation, providing a noticeably quieter ride.

Installation Process:

1. Complete removal of interior seats and trim panels for full floor access.
2. Application of proprietary 3-layer composite mat to the vehicle floor.
3. Treatment of inner fender areas with butyl sound deadening pads.
4. Enhancement of wheel well covers with an additional layer of sound-absorbing material.
5. Meticulous reassembly of all interior components.

Cost and Time Commitment

The complete soundproofing package for the Hyundai Palisade, encompassing both interior floor and fender treatments, is estimated to be around 1,000,000 Korean Won (₩1,000,000). The final cost can vary based on the specific materials used, the extent of the soundproofing coverage (e.g., additional inner fender work), and the vehicle's year and model. The entire process typically requires two days (1 night, 2 days) to allow for thorough application, proper curing times for adhesives, and careful reassembly.
