Alternatives to Future Klear? - Top Down - 2nd-Feb-22

Can't find any in our area. Seems to be unheard of. Anyone found an easily sourced alternative that works please? 

I used to apply Johnsons Klear and the later 'Future' follow-on with a soft brush and being water thin it would level out and dry glass smooth.

'Pledge Floor Care' seems to be the reincarnation.

As Kevan said, its now known with a different name.

Other alternatives are Humbrol Clear : AC7431 Humbrol Clear 125ml
Not tried it myself, but many modellers rate it.

Or Windsor and Newton Galeria https://www.amazon.co.uk/Winsor-Newton-Galeria-Acrylic-Varnish/dp/B001HJLPVQ?th=1
Comes in Gloss,Matt and Satin.
I have a bottle of satin I have used on some railway coaches for my Father, and it is just as easy to use as "Klear" which I also have.

All of the above are acrylic, so water based, in theory should work without upsetting any other paints, but as always, test on an inconspicuous area first ;)

I use Vallejo VJ26701 Acrylic Airbrush Gloss Varnish - straight in the paint cup.

When I'm finished I wash through with clean water whilst opening and closing the trigger.

Excellent. I'll keep my eyes open for the Pledge version then

I've tried several different brands of floor polish on cars, they basically all work the same.
