I used lizard skin (2 coats ceramic/ 2 coats sound) the entire inside and then also the surface under the door panel. Doors are much more solid sounding when closing.

I also put heat shrink on all door rods to prevent rattles.

Oh. Heat shrink on the rods is a fantastic idea. That's genius!
That is a great idea…. I was thinking about just wrapping a section of the rods with the kilmat

Heat shrink on the rod's is an outstanding idea, never heard of doing it before, will absolutely do it to mine.

I am using a square of 1/8 inch dynamat in the door skin, but will also do the outside under the door panel, using the same stuff.

any suggestions on sourcing these sound dampening stick on pads? I have bare doors and roof I want to sound dampen. As always, champagne taste on beer budget!
