Looks just like Tyre Slime. I hear it works fine until you take it to the mechanic who gives you a few expletives when he finds out you've used it and has to clean it out.

Ben, the slime as you call sticks only to the rubber if i remember correctly so where is the problem for the poor tyre guy.
He takes the tyre off throws it in the heap with all the other discarded tyres, he does not have to put his dirty little fingers inside the tyre.
So why does he have to clean it out.?
The product will out last the tyre they say.

nope, but my bicycle tyres work on the same principle.
Mine are filled with green jelly stuff and when I get a
puncture small enough they plug it up and it dries from the inside.
Work great, though you get a big enough hole and green goo starts seeping out of the tyre.
But so far the tyres seem quite impervious to broken glass and nails.
Can't see why they would not have developed similar for car tyres, maybe that's where they came from.

and I should say, for the sand dwellers like me, yes I can bag down my bicycle tyres with the stuff (not that I ever would by they lose air and don't leak goo), so presumably you can bag down these vehicle tyres.
