The claim to be better then then Dynamat ... I mean take the door panels off and a simple spray ,sounds easy ....
I have some concern to moisture trapping ....
I would think it would work best if applied to inside of doorskins and bottom ...
I have seen my speaker terminals get a tad rusty so I know there is dampness present ...

I've tried a number of sound deadning products over the years, many different brands and in many forms. as far as the spay on stuff goes, it's all very similar. I've spayed sheet metal plates and compared a few different ones side by side with no noticeable differences. I use Transtar paintable undercoating from my local body supply shop, it runs $36 for a case of six cans. I tend to use it only in real hard to reach places and sealing up MDF and hard board. I actually recommend against using in doors. It tends to plug drain holes and get all over linkages, window tracks, switches and moving parts. There will always be water in doors, the water goes through the window felt into the door, hence the drains at the door bottoms.
Personally I've used Cascade Audio Engineering's products for the past several years. IMO they've taken their products much more seriosly than any other company in the business. They offer many different products for specific applications rather than one or two to put on everything. There is a bunch of stuff out there and a lot of it will get the job done, but in my experience CAE is simply the best. For doors I use Vmax for the inside of the skin(body panel) and VB-2 or VB-2HD on the inner panel behind the door panel.
Check it out.

another product you might consider is "brown bread". I have not used it in the past couple of years but I did use it to do my 96 Z71. It was very reasonable and performed as good as the more expensive dynamat. Did not soak up any moisture either. Should be able to find it on Ebay also.

Mac,
Two packs of V-max (2 12.5 X 30 sheets) and 1 shop pack of VB-2 or VB-2HD (3 37 X 54 sheets) should cover it plus some. You can use alcohol (rubbing, not beer) to prep clean, most people just use aerosol glass cleaner though, it works good. You'll need a roller for the V-max and a heat gun for the VB-2 for best results. one thing you'll need a lot of is time, it takes a lot to do it right.
