About this deal

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.

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 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.

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. 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.

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'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.

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. Here's a couple other alternatives suggested on the dirty dirty Facebook that are CLAIMED to work. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 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. 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 . 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.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.

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 have a bottle of Future left over from years ago. Perhaps I didn't apply it well, but it ended up yellowing my Saturn V, and looking generally dingy those years ago. If Swallowed: Do not induce vomiting. Immediately call a Poison Control Center or a physician for advice.

For those who've been using Future/Revive It for gloss applications on their projects, it's apparently been confirmed that Johnson & Johnson has discontinued the product. A friend on a scale modeler group got this reply from J&J: 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. 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. 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. 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.

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.For heavy wax buildup present from other products, allow to stand 5 minutes before wiping. Repeat if necessary. The Johnson Future product (or any of its previous incarnations) has not been available in my country at all. After a lot of digging around online and in hardware stores here in New Zealand, I discovered that there were many floor cleaning products but actual floor polish seemed to be absent. Eventually I found one large hardware chain that sold its own brand of floor polish, so I bought some to try. In the bottle it is a milky colour, but it promised a clear shine, so I tentatively tested it on a model I was building. It was great! It dried to a clear hard finish, though not super glossy, and I've used it ever since. One thing we could all do is be a little more eco conscious. It's kind of a joke about cheap ass modeler. 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.
