Question Insulation (somewhat off-topic)

Hello! This is a bit off-topic; I apologize for that, but I think I can get the best answer here. I know that there are those on here who have made efforts at insulating their cars from noise and heat/coldin various spots. What exactly did you use? Is there one method of insulation that'll keep the outside temp from getting in and that will keep noise to a minimum?

I'm looking for something that I can use all around (floor if I ever decide to take the old stuff out, replace the hood pad, roof above the headliner, area under the rear seat cushion, etc) on both my car and my truck. I'm asking at the moment because I needed to pull the headliner in my truck for other reasons (namely: it's falling down ) and would like to get the roof insulated, and so far, it doesn't look like anyone on the "other" site has any ideas (so far, the only idea that's been mentioned is to inject foam, but I don't really like that)...I think that having the 300D's making me soft.

The idea is to do this piece by piece; if a piece of interior trim's removed for other reasons, I'll hit that spot (i.e. if I use Thomaspin's procedure to completely lube the sunroof, I might hit the sunroof piece behind the headliner with insulation while it's apart), although I probably won't tear stuff apart solely to insulate stuff...unless I get bored one day.

Thoughts and comments appreciated. Thanks in advance!
