Absolutely, and of course there are times when I am riding clinchers that I wish I was carry some Pit Stop, because I'm just not in the mood to deal with it at the time. Also, my fiance is incapable of changing a tire - it is wonderful thing for the mechancially challenged.

Loosen the valve. Let all the air out. Press the can onto the valve til it's empty. Spin the tire. Let sit overnight. Refill the tire with air.

That's basically what I did, but of course I assume the sitting overnight should not be necessary in that the Pit Stop is designed as a get-you-going-on-the-road thing. I would add one more to your steps, although I'm not sure what the offical take on it is. In that butane disperses from the tube rather quickly, I would let the air out of the tire prior to re-filling with air to assure that all of the butane is out. What I did the night I used it, I let the air out about an hour after using the Pit Stop, refilled with 140 psi of air, and it still was 140 psi the next day after a 2 1/2 hour ride. There were a couple of pictures on the can (the instructions are a series of wordless pictures) that I didn't quite understand.

I found this short YouTube video to be a really helpful visual tutorial on using Vittoria Pit Stop.

The video helped explain the can instructions, which had me slightly worried.
So I support the resurrection.

Put the valve at the 12 o'clock position...inflate...have the Pit Stop shoot out of the tire...call to get picked up.

Putting Stan's in ahead of time works better, in my experience.
