Fix flats fast

- avoid the hassle of changing a tyre in the rain with new Slime!

There are more pot holes on our roads than ever, thanks to the severe weather conditions we’ve been experiencing. There are even websites dedicated to monitoring and reporting them! (potholes.co.uk / fixmystreet.com). Damaged roads means there’s even more chance of getting a flat tyre, and with the dark, wet nights fast approaching the last thing you need is to be stuck at the side of a road waiting for breakdown assistance to arrive. But, there is a solution. Make sure you’ve got a bottle of new tyre sealant, Slime in your boot and you’ll never have to worry about changing a flat tyre again!

Used by the AA in their roadside repair vehicles, Slime’s range of tyre sealant products are quick and easy to use and provide total reassurance and convenience for families and drivers who aren’t able to change a flat tyre themselves – or those that don’t fancy getting their hands dirty! All you have to do is follow the simple, on-pack instructions:

Quick Spair, RRP £9.99 (12oz) - £11.99 (16oz) - an emergency tyre repair product that seals the leak and temporarily re-inflates the tyre in one handy can. Plus, it’s the only non-flammable, water soluble tyre repair product on the market, so it’s safe to carry in your car and can be cleaned out of the tyre so that it can be professionally repaired, rather than replaced:

1. Rotate puncture to 6 o’clock position
2. Shake can (don’t remove puncturing object)
3. Attach nozzle to valve
4. Press Green Button
5. Inflate until can is empty and rim is off the ground
6. Drive slowly for 2-4 miles to distribute sealant, and away you go!

Slime Tyre Sealant, an environmentally friendly, non-toxic, non-hazardous, water-based sealant which contains shredded, re-cycled tyres and, in conjunction with a portable air compressor, can be used for semi-permanent repair of punctures up to 6mm. The sealant remains liquid in the tyre and is safe for use at normal driving speeds and when desired. It can also be cleaned out of the tyre so that it can be professionally repaired. What’s more, once you’ve re-inflated your tyre you can continue with your journey in confidence and get your tyre checked professionally at a more convenient time. RRP £8.99 (8oz) - £12.99 (16oz):

1. Position valve core 8-4 o’clock
2. Remove puncture object (if possible)
3. Slowly remove valve core
4. Allow tyre to fully deflate
5. Attach hose and install sealant
6. Replace valve core
7. Inflate tyre
8. Drive. Stop. Verify seal and check pressure.

For a complete, semi-permanent repair solution in one pack you can also purchase a Slime Smart Spair Kit (RRP £29.99 (16oz)), an all-round emergency tyre repair kit, including a 16oz Slime tyre sealant and high-power air compressor – an ideal ‘peace of mind’ stocking filler for people who regularly take long journeys.
