I found the Pledge Revive It at Walmart and have used that stuff on all of my models, even diecast ones, ever since you showed how to do it many videos ago. I've actually used Quick Shine on wood floors and remember it being somewhat milky. I think the Quick Shine will be a nice alternative if you can't find the Pledge, your model truck looks fantastic by the way and the Quick Shine seems to work just fine. When I restored a 1972 Roadrunner by MPC for a friend of mine, I clear coated the model. When I had the model all together I then used Pledge Revive It Floor Gloss on the model and applied liberally. I have a dedicated brush for applying the Pledge by the way. After a few days of naturally curing, I then used a marine polish on the model and, oh man did it ever gleam!!!! That model was so slick that I nearly dropped it. I only buffed it with a small piece of a cotton t-shirt and it had and still has such a beautiful shine. Thanks for all you do Chris, you're videos are very helpful, very informative, and very much appreciated!!! Thank you Sir!!!

Thank you so much for this tutorial. You always put out outstanding videos and I enjoy when there’s a new one that pops up. I was happy to see this one pop up. Again thank you so much sir. Much appreciated

Thanks Chris, love your tutorials you have such a talent for explaining techniques. Thanks for the reminder about Pledge.

It is really nice that you have found an alternative. Thanks for sharing.

I have used quick shine for a while now. It's great stuff. You are doing an awesome job. Keep it up.

Thanks for the review and recommendation.

Wow! Loved it! So many thanks for the video

Great video Chris! Thanks for sharing this!!

Thanks so much for this video! I was originally looking to grab Pledge as a brush-on alternative to finicky spray varnishes, but I'm so glad to see folks have done the heavy-lifting of finding a great replacement now that Pledge/Future is unavailable.

Thank you for that tip Chris I’m going to try it thanks again

I am thinking of buying this quick shine product for my plastic model kits! Thanks for your video!❤️🇨🇦😎

Been using Pledge since your first video suggestion few years ago, I still have 3/4 of a bottle left. It also works for window scratches and cloudy windows.

Thanks for another good recommendation.

Thanks for the video.Very helpful.

Great tutorial Chris, thanks! 👍🏼

Many thanks for this video. I am getting back into the hobby after a several year break, and was looking for Future ...then the Pledge.. no joy unless I wanted to pay ~$50.00 for a $6.00 bottle. I saw this product listed in Walmart, and wondered. Your video is very timely and helpful to me. Your channel is the go to source when I want to see something about a kit, or general modeling how to's. I really like your practical methods to get good outcomes with reasonable effort..

Surprised at the great results you got doing this with a brush! Awesome stuff.

Thanks so much for this info! Helped so much and this stuff works really well.

Thanks for the video! I have been looking for Pledge but it has been sold out everywhere I have looked and I was looking for alternatives. The Rustoleum spray can clear almost ruined my printed and painted models with crazy inconsistent sprays. Some wet sanding and quick shine floor polish and all is well! Thanks again!

Thanks for the video. My local Walmarts are already out of stock of the pledge revive it, but I was able to find it in my rural town grocery store. I bought just one bottle since I already have a couple bottles of it. I will try the new quick shine.

I could never find the Pledge and have been using Quick Shine for a long time. Works great.

I like this recommendation, and now that I know how you apply it (most everyone I know airbrushes it), I'll be using your method.

Looks good to me. I will pick a bottle up. I use the Pledge stuff to thin out my Createx airbrush paints. I will give this a try. Great video!!!!!

Thanks Chris

I’ve used future since the 1st time u showed it on the channel found 2 bottles at the flea market works great

I got a bottle of quick shine a couple of months ago since it's sold pretty much everywhere pledge used to be sold. I've had good results so far.

Started using 2k automotive clear on my 3d printed sculpts, it’s been working great.

I know you promote what works best for you and pass along good information. I am a fan of Testor's Wet Look Clear - One Coat Spray Lacquer. Yes - it is more expensive and some builders have trouble with getting nice finishes with rattle cans. I have many years of experience and am happy with the results that I get from the Testors product. Everyone has to decide what works best for them !

Chris i just looked on wally worlds website here in long beach WA and they sell it still for $6.29 for 27oz. Keep up the great show.

I wanted to say thank you very much. I use Future to make washes for my miniatures. Last time I did a round of dipping I did not see all my large containers of products correctly. I have also been extremely busy with home improvements. So I have not painted and washed anything in months. It turned into a solid mass of India ink and pledge. I could only find it online for 50 bucks a pop. So hopefully the substitute will work if I don’t find any at my local farm and fleet.

Chris, when I first started watching your channel a couple years back. I couldn't find the pledge at first. I started using the Quick Shine. I worked good for me. But, I did find a bottle of the pledge. But, I still use the Quick Shine once in awhile. It didn't harm my decals at all.

I haven't been able to find Pledge Revive It (Future Floor Polish) anywhere locally. You can still find it on Amazon though, but a little pricey. I might try that Quick Shine in the future. Thanks for the video!

Thanks for the video, I had sticker shock 😲 with Amazon Pledge $45.00 I will be picking up a bottle of Quick Shine

Thanks for the alternative floor wax and proof test. Looks good. It’s been a while since I lived as far North as Fleet Farm stores. They seem to be a regional chain. Not a complaint, just an observation. But Quick Shine appears to be in Walmart, so all is good. Thanks.

I am so glad I found your channel and this video. I'm disabled and model from bed and can't use a airbrush or aerosols. I've been searching to see if I can use floor polish with a brush and finally got my answer. Thanks so much for the great content on your channel. I have a question for you, can I use the floor polish with a brush to seal in my decals, do a pin wash or weathering then apply a flat coat with a brush for my military models I don't want a gloss finish with? Will brushing on a flat coat reactivate the floor polish and mess everything up? Thank you so much for any help and I've got plenty of great videos to watch and catch up on.

I too have been using Pledge for years. The bottle I have now has been in my possession for maybe 5 or6 years and I noticed that it does not dry as quickly as it used to. I had the same problem with the original Future. After a few years it begins to degrade. The Future eventually stopped curing and remained tacky for weeks, so I had to switch to the Pledge. Now that Pledge is gone (my old bottle is only quarter used) I bought Quich Shine at Walmart. They only had the large bottle ($11.50). I've been using it on some modeling projects, experimenting with it. Yes, it is more liquid than Pledge but it dries to a better finish than Pledge, without bubbles. The only trouble with Quick Shine is that it's not as robust as Pledge. If you run a fingernail gently over a finished and cured surface, you will leave a mark. Press a bit harder and the Quick Shine will peel. It also takes longer to cure than Pledge. Touching it and rubbing it with the finger does not have any effect. I have not tried air-brushing it yet but I don't think it would be a problem. Mixing it with acrylic water-based paints was no problem also.

thank you for this ! I had been using FUTURE but my supply is now EMPTY. I had been considering QUICK SHINE but now know it is the replacement. Lowes carry's this stuff for about $8. Enough to last years. One thing not mentioned, once models are coated and fully cured ( dried) if an accident happens like paint spilling on the model, it can be wiped off with thinner without affecting the Acrylic clear coat ! ask me how I know !

Thanks for the test, I use Holloway house pure wax it’s in a pinkish red bottle, it seems to work so far, on internet I paid 6.00 for it.

I found Quickshine in Family dollar. And have used it for over a year without any problems.

I did watch the other and bought that kit and commented on the last video and yes this is very hard to find and one on online was like $30.00 plus dollar I have no fleet farm and Walmart is at a non -stock and yes I bought that I'm hoping is will be the same. 🙂Thomas over at The Model Hobbyist.

Great video! As they all are. I used to dip my glass in future floor polish and now, decades later they are still looking great. I just bought a bottle of that floor polish you demonstrated but haven't had a chance to try it yet. What do you clean your brush with after using that stuff? I don't think I missed that but if I did I apologize. I haven't seen that bottle of future for probably 20 years and unbelievably I just found it in the cellar behind some really old automotive lacquer paint from the late 70s. The bottle did turn yellow but the polish is clear

When I learned that Future/Pledge would be discontinued, I bought a few bottles to last me a lifetime. Good to know about any alternatives, too.

I loved this video. I came across it while looking for a way to protect my LEGO minifigure key chains. Chris do you think this would work on LEGO Plastic?

Great video Chris. What kind of paint was this applied to? Laquor, Enamel etc. Thanks Love your videos

For Australian viewers, go to Bunnings and get 'Long Life' 1L Self Shining Floor Polish. $13.99 for a litre. 👍 Same stuff.

Looks like I’m going to have to reply to myself. Over a month later, mine still looks shiny and great. Good replacement for the old future floor polish variants.

I'm telling ya. I use it every time and don't even spray it. I'm sure I could get a better shine with something more in depth but I'm satisfied with what pledge achieves

I picked up Quick Shine up to try some time ago. It being milky white steered me away. I still have a full bottle of Pledge I never used.

So I just found you. Getting back into to the hobby. You were recommended to find out about the floorpolish. What does it do to the glass?

This just popped up right when i was wondering if i could use floor polish that i already have instead of car polish to polish model cars! arrh... what a tongue twist X)

The rules of supply/demand have the Pledge up to $37 per 27 oz. bottle now. If a person wants to feel better about it, I did some math and that is still WAY cheaper by volume than the Tamiya clear. (If only Johnson Wax made paint for models...27 oz. each color for $8.99.)

I'm flattered, he's such a good guy!

If anyone cares to read the directions on the back of the bottle...It reads "After floor is completely dry, additional coats may be applied if a higher gloss is desired." Four coats seem to give me the gloss I'm looking for---without any adverse effects to the models I applied it to.

No matter how hars I try I get bubble s when I use a rattle can to paint my car body?

I heard a rumor they were going to discontinue the Pledge a few years ago, so I got some coupons and headed to Walmart. I ended up with 7 bottles. I'm betting a lifetime supply!

I used to be a cleaner and use floor sealer, it was milky colour and think it about the same.

So where are these 600 models that you’ve built? Is there a hpiguy museum somewhere we can see them? 😃

Thank's for the helpful video Chris. Quick question for you. I'm building a 1/24 knight rider kitt model and I paint with the same method as you, spray and pray. I usually have nice results, but after shooting the hood on this model it dried with small bumps in a few places. I'm going to wet sand and I was wondering if applying quick shine as a clear coat after I sand will give me the same results as a rattle can clear coat?

@hpiguy

Not usually, the floor polish is not nearly thick enough to cover all that up.

I just noticed an Ebay-er is selling 2 bottles for $120. That's outrageous!

I think there are some 30+ year old unopened bottles of Future (maybe it's Klear) under the kitchen sink. I wonder if they are still good? 😂 My real question is have you tried using Quick Shine as a thinner/medium/flow improver for acrylic paints? It seems like it would be ideal for that. I will get a bottle next time I'm at Walmart or Fleet Farm. What if you want a matte finish instead of gloss? I'll be painting and finishing model tanks, and they are not supposed to be shiny :)

Just curious if it smells like pledge revive it maybe it's the same product

It's that ok to use the hair dryer to dry the clear coat ??

It appears that the edges of the hood have a line of air bubbles. Since this was the first thing brushed, I wonder if shaking the bottle before use caused this.

Thanks for the heads up on pledge going out of stock. Quick question. Have you ever polish the model after you clear them with pledge? Just wondering.🤔

It will work fine once they are cleaned. The floor polish is harmless to almost anything it's put on. If it was messing up surface the people that use it on their floors would go nuts.

I make diecast police modes. But the quickshine leaves my black parts of the model foggy.

Pledge is awesome I asked you a few questions found some here in Australia so I bought a few bottles and honestly couldn't be happier so much so I use it on my diecast big rigs as well as my cars and plastic models it's the best the shine is second to none . Chris knows his stuff
