What should I do after applying the sealant?
After applying the sealant and reinflating the tyre, drive the vehicle for a few miles at a low to moderate speed (around 10-15 mph) to help the sealant distribute and seal the puncture effectively.
Is this a permanent repair solution?

Troubleshooting
Sealant does not seem to be entering the tyre
Ensure the valve core is fully removed and the sealant bottle nozzle is securely attached to the valve stem. Check for any blockages in the nozzle or valve.
Tyre continues to lose air after application
The puncture may be larger than 6mm, or located in a difficult area like the sidewall. Drive the vehicle for a short distance to allow the sealant to spread, or consider seeking professional assistance.
Difficulty replacing the valve core
Use the provided spare valve core. Ensure it is inserted straight and screwed in firmly. If the valve is damaged, professional repair may be needed.
