Winter car upgrades can help get your vehicle ready for the next cruising and show season. For many people, colder weather means less cruising and more time to work on their car or truck. It’s also a chance to improve your daily driver.
Heatshield Products offers materials to control heat, reduce noise, and help protect nearby surfaces while you work. Check out our selections below, and visit www.heatshieldproducts.com.
HP Welding and Torch Blanket
If you’ve got any grinding or welding to do on your winter project and that work will be near sensitive components or surfaces, an HP Welding and Torch Blanket is the first thing you’ll want to reach for. Available with either grommets or magnets for attachment, Welding and Torch Blanket is available in four different sizes, and handles up to 1800 degrees F direct-contact heat while being slag resistant. And when you’re done welding and grinding, HP Welding and Torch Blanket is a great thing to keep around for when you have to work around hot components to protect yourself from being burned. https://www.heatshieldproducts.com/hp-torch-blanket
Winter Car Upgrades for a Quieter Interior
Need to quiet or cool things down inside your car or truck? Planning a quieter ride for your winter project? Heatshield Products offers a variety of sound damping and control products for a more enjoyable ride. And if weight is a consideration, products like db Skin help reduce noise without adding a bunch of dead weight like typical asphalt-based sound damping products. And if you’ve got to control both heat and sound, db Stealth Armor does both in one simple install. Check out the full line at https://www.heatshieldproducts.com/automotive/automotive-sound-deadening
Heatshield Armor
One of your vehicle’s biggest heat sources runs beneath the floor: the exhaust system. It radiates heat upward, heating the floor and nearby surfaces. That heat can pass through factory insulation, leaving you with hot feet or hot items on the floor. Heatshield Armor insulates exhaust piping to significantly reduce the heat it radiates. Not only does it help make things cooler by reducing radiant heat, the extra heat kept in the exhaust system improves exhaust system performance through the increased exhaust gas temperatures.

Sticky Shield for Winter Vehicle Upgrades
Another way to keep a car/truck interior cooler is to deflect heat away from the passenger compartment surfaces. Later vehicles have factory heatshields on floors for this purpose but aren’t that effective. Sticky Shield is a high-temp adhesive backed thermal barrier that needs just one inch of airspace to be effective and with greater air gaps can deflect over 90% of heat away from the surface it’s installed on. All the adhesive backing needs is a clean, grease/oil-free surface for proper adhesion. Easy to cut and shape to curved and angular surfaces. Especially effective for transmission tunnels to reduce interior temperatures and keep the inside of your center console (looking at you various late model generations of Corvettes) from turning into an oven. https://www.heatshieldproducts.com/hp-sticky-shield
Lava Shield
Here’s a way to deflect heat from a surface and improve looks with Lava Shield thermal barrier material. Really great for firewalls, it gives the surface it’s installed on a carbon fiber appearance. It reflects up to 80% of heat radiated towards the material with just a minimum of half an inch of airspace between Lava Shield and the heat source. Adhesive backing makes for easy installation on a clean, grease/oil free surface. The material can be cut and shaped to fit curved and angular surfaces, while providing a great appearance upgrade to a dingy firewall or other underhood surface. https://www.heatshieldproducts.com/lava-shield
