Thanks Boston Dave - I got both. But many messages go automatically into Junk, including my own :)

Peel and stick is a strip with aluminum backing on one side and waxed paper on the sticky side which is pulled off, discarded and the sticky side is placed on a clean surface and pressed down. There is no can. It just looks like one in the pictures. I believe there is a video that is much clearer.

I also used it on the front area under dashboard; unfortunately, this sheet metal area must get pretty warm from front radiator blow by, and as a result, evidence of "tar" dripping down on the sides into footwells. I clean it up, and it later re-appears. But, even then, I have had no "tar" odors. It's been in place over 12 years. And yes, very significant road noise reduction, so worth it to me.
