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. It's the newer version, Pledge Revive It that I'm worried about. 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.

So apparently Pledge discontinued their floor gloss or something in January 2022? That's a bummer, because my Legacy Blaster needs tightening in his left hip joint badly. Pledge Floor Care is an excellent product for scale modellers to use instead of other gloss finishes by Tamiya, Gunze and the like. Although the initial outlay is high, the quantity in the bottle is enough to last a very long time. Also really good for clear plastic parts like canopies.Compared to this, Kiki is several dollars for a bottle the size of a super glue bottle, while this stuff is about the same price but something like 100x more. Just to be clear, I'm neither griping about the product nor it's use. 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. Here's a couple other alternatives suggested on the dirty dirty Facebook that are CLAIMED to work. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Using a dry cloth, rub along the grain of the wood. Wait 30 seconds and then wipe off excess to create a deep, clean luster. Multiple floor surfaces can benefit from the protection of Pledge Floor Finish. This product is safe to use on no-wax, vinyl, linoleum, rubber tile, terrazzo, and masonry floors. It also works on ceramic tile, stone, flagstone, slate, and sealed wood floors, as long as those surfaces have been sealed. With Pledge Floor Gloss, rooms throughout your house can have protected floors with a dazzling finish.

So I should be fine using the model varnish that people use to maintain the paint in Gundam models? March 10, 2023 BY admin Removing Pledge Floor Care Multi-surface Floor Finish from your wooden floor I so missed OneGo that I decided to give this a go. 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. I should mention that I have never had an issue with "Future" discoloring or doing anything bad from passing time. 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. I’m using this as a gloss coat for my models like Onego or Klear. Works a treat. So if you’re searching the net looking for Klear. This is the gear.

Ive used Future as my go to gloss since the mid 90s when I started noticing decals solution interaction with Testors rattlecan stuff. I started to see stains/tide marks under the topcoat from where the solutions had been. Light at first, but visible enough to be noticed. So then I tried Micro Gloss and Micro Flat. The gloss worked great, but the flat coat gave me problems and I did not have the patience at the time to work thru the problems, so I ditched the stuff, then switched to Future and various bottled flat/matt and satin/semi gloss coats as needed. Currently my go to flat coats are: Humbrol, Tamiya, or Future with Tamiya Flat base added. Is the bottle I bought today a waste of money? I am almost out of my old bottle of Pledge and went to Walmart for a new bottle. I just happened to notice the ingredients (on the inside of the label) are quite a bit different from the old bottle. Many more ingredients/chemicals. One thing we could all do is be a little more eco conscious. It's kind of a joke about cheap ass modeler. Same here. Recycling here in rural WV has declined to where it's almost non-existent in some places. We do what we can and sometimes have to drive quite a ways to drop stuff off. This is the good stuff, which I transfer to an "eye-drop" bottle with a thin long metal nozzle for easy application:

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. X-22 can be thinned in a few ways, to include Tamiya acrylic thinner, Tamiya lacquer thinner, Mr Leveling thinner, hardware store lacquer thinner, isopropyl alcohol or denatured alcohol. The amount is according to what you want to accomplish. So with all that said, I generally use either hardware store lacquer thinner or DNA. And I generally thin it no less than 50-50 ( in the paint world that means 100% reduction or equal volumes of each). I generally don't thin it more than 125% which is a bit more than 50/50 thinner to paint. It's something you play around with and get a handle on doing for yourself. I'm fairly certain that there are posts in the forum from people who have reported using the newest version, and saying it works just like the older versions. A search on "Future" would tell us for certain. Pledge Floor Care/ Pledge Revive It are no longer available. Of the commercially available products, "Pledge Multi-Surface Concentrated Floor Cleaner" is the only one kind of close. It has "Proprietary Film Formers" in the ingredients like the original products, but the rest of the ingredients are off. Also the instructions for the Revive It/ Floor Care say to wash the surface with a separate product then apply, while the multi surface seems to be a 2-in-1 cleaning and shining agent. I so missed OneGo that I decided to give this a go. 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.

Pledge have re-branded their product once more. It’s called Pledge Revive It and has the identical qualities as before. Here was the response when we asked for info regarding the product: Effective on a Variety of Flooring Types I just give away my models to anyone in the neighborhood who might want them. 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. It's the process I enjoy ... learning how to get better at this hobby that keeps me in it. 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 can't even imagine the corporate decision for this. Don't people take care of their floors anymore.Well, those ingredients show that one has a whole bunch of different stuff in there than the other. Even if they go by different names, there are many more listed. Not to mention that the front label says nothing about "Future" on there. 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... Thanks for the very helpful responses. I really appreciate the suggestions/recommendations that you have given me. I don't know the answer, I doubt anyone does, and I'm not risking the shelf longivity of my models (anymore, anyway) on a cheap clear coat craze/alternative that just won't die. IMO, there are more and better acrylic clear coat options now.
