Also makes for quit a mess when the tires are replaced.
Good Luck

It's not the same as sealants you put in a tyre after a puncture, just copied this from the Ultraseal Q&A.....
Q - Is Ultraseal strictly for sealing a damaged tyre?
A - No!
Ultraseal is a preventative maintenance tyre additive and was designed primarily to be utilised prior to a tyre receiving damage from puncturing objects and/or interior damage caused from operating tyres under inflated.
After installing Ultraseal, the vehicle is driven a minimum of 3 to 5 miles (5 to 8 km), however it is not imperative to drive the vehicle immediately. For Ultraseal to perform its preliminary functions, the tyre and Ultraseal must go through an initial conditioning period, at which time Ultraseal will have completely coated and conditioned the inner surfaces of the tyre/rim.
When a puncture occurs, the Ultraseal coating encapsulates the puncturing object. When the puncturing object is removed or ejected, Ultraseal is drawn into the wound by the capillary action of the escaping air, the wound closes up (rubber recovery) thereby trapping the Ultraseal clot. The clot cures and becomes non water-soluble to protect the inner structure from outside contaminants.
The Ultraseal clot is only as strong as the tyre and can not hide or mask a dangerous wound.
Q - Is Ultraseal compatible with tyre components?
A - Yes!
Ultraseal's formulation is fully compatible with all components in any tyre.
Ultraseal has been tested by independent laboratories fresh (new) and even after 40,000 miles, tests results prove Ultraseal exceeds all compatibility requirements.
Q - Will Ultraseal rust or corrode rims?
A - No!
Ultraseal's rust and corrosion inhibiting system continuously works to prevent rust or corrosion.
Ultraseal cannot eliminate existing rust or corrosion, but will neutralise it and prevent any additional damage.
Q - Can tyres treated with Ultraseal be repaired?
A - Yes!
Ultraseal does not contain any adhesive or chemicals that would alter the tyre's integrity.
Ultraseal is totally water-soluble in its liquid state and even when cured it can easily be removed from the interior of any tyre.
All major repairs are performed by simply wiping the wound area with a damp cloth, then wipe dry and repair.
Q - Does Ultraseal create a mess when a tyre is dismounted?
A - No!
Ultraseal is a viscous gel-like liquid that does not flow like water. Approximately 80% of the minimum required application amount coats the entire inner surface of the tyre/rim. The remaining 20% is considered the reserve, which does settle to the bottom only when a tyre is stationary.
When dismounting a tyre containing Ultraseal, there is not enough product collected at the bottom that would allow it to splash out.
If the mechanic breaks the bead prior to releasing all the air from the tyre, the Ultraseal around the bead/rim attempts to prevent the air from escaping, resulting in a small amount of Ultraseal blowing out, as the bead breaks away from the rim. To prevent this from happening, release all of the air pressure prior to breaking the bead.
Once a mechanic understands the simple basics on handling Ultraseal there is never a problem.
