All I can find where I live is Pledge Revive which is an cleaner which contains oil. I bought Holloway House Quick Shine. It has a leveling agent in it. Will this work? And can you make that Future Glue out of it? Thank you. ?

You can get it at CVS or Home Depot. It is now called Pledge Premium Floor Care Multi-Surface Finish.

Also available at Wal-Mart under that name, or at least it was some months ago when I bought it there.  Appears to be exactly the same as the previous product.  I've used my most recent bottle for all the usual jobs:  adding a gloss top-coat; making "glass" in dashboard gauges; dipping clear parts and aircraft canopies to remove scratches and make them look better.  And on larger-scale figures, adding a drop in the eyes to make them shiny.  No problems at all.

If you have a local Tru Value hardware store you can have it shipped to store for pickup. There is no charge for shipping that way.

Just tried some for a gauge face on a dash, Applied some chrome from a Molotow pen , applied some Model master tint, then filled with a drop of future. Looks OK to me.

For what its worth, it is not available in my local market.  I bought a bottle a few months ago and had to use Amazon.

I called SC Johnson and this is the new Future. Pledge Revive It Floor Gloss. So I went out to find it and after 7 stores .I found it at the 2nd Walmart I went to. 4 hours looking for this. They said it's the same ingredients as the original Future. Just a new name and packaging. So here is the pic. :-)

"They"  know that modelers use the stuff. So, what do "they" do? Throw us a curve by changing the dammed name every couple of months so we can't find the stuff. Next thing you know, it'll be relabeled as a pancake/waffle syrup substitute.

I believe that the "revive it" stuff is another iteration of the original Future Floor Finish (which in its previous iteration was called Pledge FloorCare Mult-surface finish)

There used to be a great website called "the complete Future" maintained by a modeler called Swanny, He used to keep up with all the name changes, but he shut it down couple of years ago.

Um, wait . . . I just checked and it is back!  http://www.swannysmodels.com/TheCompleteFuture.html  But if the "revive it" stuff is really Future, he has not updated the website with that info. Not sure if he is even updating it anymore.
