From cleaning floors and windows to polishing steel and granite, we're committed to ensuring that we stay at the forefront of cleanliness across homes and businesses alike. Bring out new sparkle in old heirlooms, or add intense shine to upcycled pieces with Pledge ® Restoring Oil. I resharpen blades, I reuse containers; I hang onto sprues for scratch building; I make my own sprue goo. I have plenty of Tamiya X-22 on hand so I may shoot that when my older bottle of Pledge runs out in a year or two . I should mention that I have never had an issue with "Future" discoloring or doing anything bad from passing time.

I use Pledge Floor Care, one iteration or another of clear lacquer, Tamiya X-22 and Liquitex varnishes at various times. Not that I don't enjoy looking at some of what I've built, I do for those that turn out alright - not so much the one's I've messed up . I keep a few that I really like on the outer edges of my built-in bookshelf and on one little table I bought to display my larger ships (now hosting my Cutty Sark) but I don't have much room for permanent display so I just add what I like at the moment and give away ones that I've enjoyed long enough. I'm posting three pictures I took a few minutes ago just so you all understand which bottles of Pledge I'm referring to. You don’t need to sprinkle a lot of the product on a clean dry floor then spread across the surface with a wet mop Almost as good as the old OneGo.

With Pledge Floor Gloss, rooms throughout your house can have protected floors with a dazzling finish. Pledge Floor Care is an excellent product for scale modellers to use instead of other gloss finishes by Tamiya, Gunze and the like. However, I don't want to spend the committment building a kit to see it ruined by discoloration or, worse, gloppy goo or other problems that I can envision the gremlins of airbrushing foisting on me as I spray a coat of this stuff on something that's taken me months to nearly complete. Floor polish of this kind is just a form of plastic, after all, and in this form is usually disposed of into the waste water system, ending up in the sea, rivers, and lakes.

I guess I'll just have to test it on some plain old sheet styrene of which I have plenty in one of my hobby drawers.It's not going to put me into the poor house if I have to throw it away, it's just that I don't know of any particular product (acrylic based) that would work as well or better than the old "Future". While we have taken care in preparing this summary and believe it to be accurate, it is not a substitute for reading the product packaging and label prior to use. Just because I'm used to isopropyl alcohol in my paint thinning experience I'll probably try that first if I end up having to use Tamiya X-22. C Johnson has made that statement I wonder if the actual reason is it's part of the effort to reduce plastic pollution, particularly of the oceans and waterways. I have an old bottle, not quite the one John (Keavdog) posted, but mine is from 2013, and at least clearly states "with Future Shine" on it.

So it sounds like two different products, the latest being "new and improved" (my words, not theirs), probably like the FSM forums are new and improved. I'm just saying I have no idea if the newer versions are the same recipe as the original or not, and I've moved on to other products, not wanting to take a chance. Pledge is a more durable varnish because people are expected to walk in it but model varnish will do you just fine.It also works on ceramic tile, stone, flagstone, slate, and sealed wood floors, as long as those surfaces have been sealed. Yes, as you can see from the pictures I posted, my older bottle is exactly that - Pledge Floor Care - and it has served me well for several years.
