Mylar to insulate vehicles and other things

After much google-fu with little results I've found one use of mylar in a military-type application, and relatively few non-survival uses.

Being at Fort Polk...I have an interest in keeping my HMMWV interior temperature as low as possible, this may also help those among us who drive Jeep Wranglers, or have some shitty vehicle our in some remote location.

Insulating a HMMWV.

Garage door insulation, also found a video of someone using a space blanket.

Has anyone here found any other uses for mylar insulation?

I'm curious if it would be an improvement for the handguard insulation material in an AK.
