    I think the idea is a bit wishy washy .. I havent got a puncture in 12 years of driving (which is ever) so go figure.. Im not going to stick something into my tyres perhaps as a preventative measure to counter react this type of problem.

    Although u may have a market in the more rural areas where punctures are more prelavent ?? Needs more investigation, why not ring a few garages and act dumb as the pretense of being a customer and gleam some information from them ?

    Also their website is an absolute disgrace .. Slap on the wrist for that one.

    Yea, in fairness punctures aren't a serious problem in rural areas either. Also there are several sources you can buy the product directly from and run the business yourself without forking over sums of money for a franchise.. Do some googling..

    Yeah, I agree. I had a look at their website and it was enough to put me off...
    move on!

    Website is truly atrocious, last time I saw something with that background, it was the first time I ever saw a website back in 1998 or something! :eek:

    Definitely search around.. I looked at this last year and found a supplier in the north selling the sealant in 40 gallon barrels and supplying the equipment.. I didn't bother going any further as I didn't see a business in it..

    I fear if this was a good business opportunity it would be like it is in the Sates, dominated by the tyre centres. It is small niche, and in the states they have the numbers of potential punters. Here I can't see any chance as an independent operation.

    Sorry
