Big John Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Thanks for the feedback Mike. Yes, some of the old decals can just fall apart after the years. Perhaps a foam brush applicator will give a thinner coat. I was wondering if the future would smear home printed decal sheets. Thanks again!

Irv Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Total newbie to the finishing part of the hobby. With the lack of any find of Future-related product on store shelves in my area, I'm wondering about stuff called "Rejuvenate." It looks to me like it might work well, but, then, I'm a newbie. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts? Future has had a number of different names but the formula is pretty consistent with each iteration. I believe it is currently Pledge Multi-Surface Floor Finish You can still find a bottle of the original on the internet but they are expensive.

So the question is, might this Rejuvenate product be an acceptable and affordable substitute? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewetwo Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 I will say I find it isn’t great with enamel paints. Tends to craze after a while. I use it. Lacquers seems to be fine. But enamels no matter how old. Seems to always emit some sort of gas or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pledge multi-surface floor finish is currently available in retail stores or amazon. Why would you mess with something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugatti Fan Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 (edited) Holloway House. Quick Shine Multi Purpose Floor Finish. In the green carton. A USA product. It looks as though this would be an equivalent to Klear and subsequently named similar Johnson's products. Have any of you guys got or tried the Holloway House product? Any feed back would be welcome. The Rejuvenate mentioned in a previous post is marketed as a 'cleaner', not just a finishing product. This product's chemicals might be very different to the Klear/Future formula so it might be a good idea to test it first.

Bugatti Fan Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 (edited) Al, thanks for the reply. Is it possible to put the HPIGUY's video on here? Alternatively, I guess it might probably be on Youtube so I will have a look on there. Edited October 31, 2022 by Bugatti Fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keef Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 (edited) Just bought these 2 bottles of Quick Shine at my local Walmart market today. Have yet to try them out but I’ve always wanted to try the Future. Edited December 11, 2022 by Keef Fat fingers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteski Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Interesting, Why both? Looks like the same stuff in both bottles. If I was going to try it, I would have just bought the small bottle. If it doesn't work out, I would be only out 7 bucks. If you look for the manufacturer on the back of the bottle, is it made by one of the large companies (like Johnson & Johnson), or by some small company we never heard of?

Bugatti Fan Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 (edited) The smaller Holloway House one is about £16 over here in the UK. I still have some Kleer left from ages ago and it was a lot less expensive. Even at £16 the Holloway House product is still a lot less expensive per milli litre than many dedicated modelling products that do the same thing Looking at the US Wal-Mart price, you Americans get it dead cheap to try out !

ewetwo Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 (edited) I've used the Revive It for years. One thing I noticed was it not good to use over spray can enamel paints as enamal takes forever to cure. Edited March 4 by ewetwo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o-man Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 I just tried the Quick Shine. Seems to work ok. Not quite as shiny as I would've liked, but I think that has something to do with first time using an airbrush. Will continue to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugatti Fan Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 (edited) David. Using Acrylic based products over enamel might not be a good idea long term. Enamel takes ages to dry out thoroughly and although it looks and feels dry its solvent can still be leaching out into the atmosphere for a long time after you think it is dry. Acrylics effectively form a plastic airtight seal so there just might be a chance of blistering. This might be the cause of the curing problem you have been experiencing.

That's why I don't do it on enamels anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugatti Fan Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 We live and learn all the time, and I have had a few disasters along the way in that learning process. I wish I had a pound or a dollar for each of my previous cock ups. It would buy me a Tamiya kit ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
