The special sealant is only available in northern climates and it is only
available during the winter months. It's called "snow" and works best when
applied with deep cloud cover that limits sunlight to 3 hrs per day.
"Snow" protectant is supplemented by use of "salt induced deep corrosion

303 offers a “tire protectant and balm” product that blocks UV, but if it was
exposed to the elements I suspect you would have to reapply regularly.
