Narampa Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I am having a real problem finding Acrylic wax in Canada. I have looked at Wall Mart and most other stores. It seems I can't even find liquid floor wax. Any help om this would be appreciated. I know that future no longer exists but what does. Please Help.

Ford Customline Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 (edited) I have seen it at Canadian Tire and Walmart here in Regina, SK. It is now called Pledge Floor Finish with Future Shine. Not sure if it is the same formula as I have half a bottle of Future that is from years ago. http://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/pledge-with-future-premium-floor-finish/6000016951678 http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/home/cleaning/vacuums-floor-cleaning/floor-and-carpet-care-supplies/future-floor-wax-795-ml-0530350p.html?utm_campaign=bazaarvoice&utm_medium=SearchVoice&utm_source=AskAndAnswer&utm_content=Default#.U8aHHkDF-ho Edited July 16, 2014 by Ford Customline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imarriedawitch Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Look for Pledge Tile & Vinyl Floor Finish. It'll have "with Future" on the label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Barrow Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Do they have Dollar Tree stores in Canada? Because they have a store-brand product called "LA's Totally Awesome Mop & Shine" that's reportedly real close. I haven't tried it yet because I still have a healthy supply of Future, but next time I need some I'm going to give it a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Remember, it's not a wax. It's clear acrylic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked the Dollar store but nothing there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is thinner and does not coat as well.This is especially true if wiped on like I use it and if covering decals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brett Barrow Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Pretty sure this is the current label. I haven't bought any since it was still just plain "Future", then it was "Pledge with Future shine", now just "Pledge". But as Harry pointed out, it was never labeled as "wax", that was just a generic term applied like the way we call nitro R/C cars "Gas" cars.

Narampa Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 Well I have checked evry possible place that I can think of. There just isn't anything out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toner283 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 My local home hardware carries it. Maybe check to see if they can order it in for you if they don't have it on the shelf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Arthur I go to Home Hardware Quite often. What is the brand name of what you buy? I will ask for the same. I find it so hard to believe that all I am able to find is floor cleaner. No wax! Clerks have not been helpful at all. Edited July 18, 2014 by Narampa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Barrow Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 It should be located near the floor cleaner. But it's not wax! Nobody but janitors use wax anymore! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narampa Posted July 31, 2014 Author Share Posted July 31, 2014 Found a Dollar Tree about 50 miles away. I bought the only two bottles of mop and shine they had. Don't laugh but this has be a hunt of mass proportion. I dipped a painted part in the bottle and let it dry. I like the results but tomorrow the real test. I have a body to paint from my spare parts bin. I will post a picture later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
