Kev

Future is an acrylic wax/floor polish Johnsons make and sell in the US. In Europe it is called Klear.

We have neither of these in Oz, however I use Johnsons Shine Magic. It is milky as opposed to clear like future but other than that it seems to work in the same way.

Search on here for "future" as there have been a couple of discussions in the past in the various forums on this topic.

Where are you in Qld? I am in Mackay.

It is Johnsons Klear floor polish.

I use Humbrol matt and gloss coat and occasionly Tamiya acrylic gloss clear.

I use Long Life self shining floor wax and get great results.
Not bad on the floor either.

Pledge One Go seems to be the best solution in Aus, I dont use for clear coat but for all my windows and canopies and it works great, cheers Bob.

Hi,

Iam am only new (first post), but I have been doing a lot of research into painting as I am just getting back into it after 15 years.

I have found that Hawkeye models in the ACT is ordering in some future from the US and I think it will be about $20. I rang them and he said that they are hoping for a shipment in 4-6 weeks.

Hope this helps.

Mark
