Pete i hate to think how much that stuff costs now I used to buy it in 500ml bottles for £2.99. When i heard they were going to discontinue the old formula i bought 5 bottles and they have all been sold for over £20 a bottle. Crazy.

Hi Alan put it this way it's bread and water for Christmas dinner and the good lady has stopped my pocket money, you can still find it in the US but I would have to sell the house to buy some.

Pledge FloorCare Multi-Surface Finish is apparently the same thing as Johnson’s Future Klear or whatever the exact name is.

Hi Pete,
Like Alan, I have a big bottle that I bought years ago. I have never seen these bottles and it was never sold as a modeling aid just floor polish.

This is the same as to what I use. Absolutely no complaints. Does a brilliant job. Protects the paint and stops silvering on the decals.

Hi Alan I know I'm stupid to have paid that amount of money for mine making them extremely expensive I'm afraid I'm not going to be buy your one if it's for sale, once bitten you learn your lesson ( hopefully).
I just have to spend my lottery winnings on something else.
