Pledge 11182 Revive It Floor Gloss, 27 Ounce, Clear Transparent Liquid

Product Information

Using a dry cloth, rub along the grain of the wood. Wait 30 seconds and then wipe off excess to create a deep, clean luster. I can't even imagine the corporate decision for this. Don't people take care of their floors anymore. 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.

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. This is the good stuff, which I transfer to an "eye-drop" bottle with a thin long metal nozzle for easy application:Yes, as you can see from the pictures I posted, my older bottle is exactly that - Pledge Floor Care - and it has served me well for several years. It's the newer version, Pledge Revive It that I'm worried about. Our table is solid oak and well used by us and the kids for dinner and homework and crafts. Its also by a window so was a bit sun faded in places. So I should be fine using the model varnish that people use to maintain the paint in Gundam models?

Same here. Recycling here in rural WV has declined to where it's almost non-existent in some places. We do what we can and sometimes have to drive quite a ways to drop stuff off. 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. It does have some minor additives and so it is not pure polyurethane, it is made with acrylic polymers, so same "family" as polyurethane).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. Just to be clear, I'm neither griping about the product nor it's use. I'm just saying I have no idea if the newer versions are the same recipe as the original or not, and I've moved on to other products, not wanting to take a chance. 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. I noticed that the old list of ingredients is pretty vague, whereas the new bottle is very specific. It could be that they are the same and the change was required by some new government regulation. I have a very old bottle of Future and it doesn't list any ingredients at all. I have a bottle of Future left over from years ago. Perhaps I didn't apply it well, but it ended up yellowing my Saturn V, and looking generally dingy those years ago.

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. For heavy wax buildup present from other products, allow to stand 5 minutes before wiping. Repeat if necessary. 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. Thanks for the very helpful responses. I really appreciate the suggestions/recommendations that you have given me. 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.I should mention that I have never had an issue with "Future" discoloring or doing anything bad from passing time. I have an old bottle, not quite the one John (Keavdog) posted, but mine is from 2013, and at least clearly states "with Future Shine" on it.

Here's a couple other alternatives suggested on the dirty dirty Facebook that are CLAIMED to work. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Is the bottle I bought today a waste of money? I am almost out of my old bottle of Pledge and went to Walmart for a new bottle. I just happened to notice the ingredients (on the inside of the label) are quite a bit different from the old bottle. Many more ingredients/chemicals.If Swallowed: Do not induce vomiting. Immediately call a Poison Control Center or a physician for advice. I don't know the answer, I doubt anyone does, and I'm not risking the shelf longivity of my models (anymore, anyway) on a cheap clear coat craze/alternative that just won't die. IMO, there are more and better acrylic clear coat options now. I have plenty of Tamiya X-22 on hand so I may shoot that when my older bottle of Pledge runs out in a year or two . 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 .
