Stuff never worked but somehow they managed to persuade car manufacturers to bin real spare wheels so we all have a can of false hope in the boot.
I've not had joy with any tyre foam/puncture repair stuff whenever I've needed it in the past. Waste of timeStuff never worked but somehow they managed to persuade car manufacturers to bin real spare wheels so we all have a can of false hope in the boot.
Where I am: bits of black rope with a knot on the end, hung from bumpers of some cars but usually from the bull bars of Jeep Wranglers etc with giant wheels (and the rear mounted spare with no tyre), like this:

Might be a bit divisive but dealership applied coatings to bodywork! Products are likely fine but the chances of a dealership valeter having the time, tools and skill to prep a car for a 3+ year coating is slim.
No doubt exceptions but certainly the last time I was offered such a thing, it would have been £300+ wasted.

Always carry a can, never had any issues with it working. Only doesnt work on a dangerously gouged or gashed tyre, but then you'd not want to drive on one of those anyway, would you?
