About this deal

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. 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. 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 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 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 so missed OneGo that I decided to give this a go.

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. 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. What people have to be careful is to not to end up getting floor wax, as some have, and then go think/mention that it doesn't work.

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 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. 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. This is the good stuff, which I transfer to an "eye-drop" bottle with a thin long metal nozzle for easy application: 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.It does have some minor additives and so it is not pure polyurethane, it is made with acrylic polymers, so same "family" as polyurethane).
