Autofoam is snake oil.

If your car is a kancil, maybe you'd see some effects. as the car's chassis is soft.

if you want a stiffer chassis, chassis braces, rollbars, would be better and removable.

It may reduce chassis borne noise but stiffer chassis? unlikely.

Unless, it is harder than steel. it wouldnt and couldnt make the chassis stiffer.

its like coating chocolate on a bamboo stick. will the Bamboo stick become harder? yes, but by only 0.00001%

I would challenge Desmond to put the foam in a pipe, and crack the pipe open and test how rigid the foam is




actually many years back...autofoam got a plastic mineral water bottle cut in half and filled with their foam.... u can crush the empty bottle easily with fingers....but the one with foam u basically did nothing even jumping on them....(yes it absorb a bit of impact but return to normal start pretty fast like a solid rubber

Autofoam did help but very minimal to modern car.
