Went to Brother Peter at DU to check out their sound proofing services. Here's what I found.
According to the box, its an Australian product of tar & bitumen mixture. The sheets are sticky black stuff on 1 side and aluminum foil at the other, with size 25cm x 50cm.
The X20 has almost NO sound proofing in the boot. There's a tiny strip of hardened rubber in the pic below (right above the tire):
Besides that, its hollow and rattling metal parts:
Sound proofing is a tedious job. The workmanship is very important. For my Kenari, it took a whole day (about 5 hours), to do up 2 doors and another day to do the boot.
This guy below, is sound proofing the C-pillars:
The last bits are the top of the boot, where Mr. Peter assured me that it won't fall off.
The whole process took about 4 hours.
After completing the sound proofing, the spare tire screw did not want to go in (due to the raised boot floor level). Their guys "modified" the screw to add length to it. Will get pics next time.
