I have an older barn style wooden shop that's 30'x30'. It's insulated with the roll type R-16 insulation from Home Depot. I installed a Whirlpool 18,500 BTU window unit in it and it made all the difference in the world. We're in the 100+ temps including heat index through July and August too.
I was actually thinking of buying that bubble insulation and trying it. This is what I was gonna buy: http://www.carguygarage.com/gadoin.html
I'd like to put a window unit in the garage, but the garage has no windows.... Just the entrance door into the house and the garage door...
