plastichound Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 I know that Future has a new name , I believe it is Future Clear by Pledge? I read yesterday in a recent issue of one of the British Model magazines there is a rumor the forumula has changed. Now it is now longer "Model Friendly". Can someone confirm or deny this rumor?

Mark Deliduka Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 It's actually called "Pledge with Future Shine" now. I just picked up a bottle about a month ago. Got it at Wal-Mart for about 8 bucks or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamsof51 Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 I got some and dipped some canopies in it and it seems to work just like the old formula. Also used as a decal undercoat with the same success. So have no fear it still works. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Nardone Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Apparently, the stuff being sold in Europe is indeed a different product, but the "new" product in the USA is more or less the same stuff in a new bottle. Ralph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZRhino Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 I have shot "Pledge with Future Shine" through an airbrush with no difference in results compared to my 8 year old bottle of Future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The formula is no different in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Someone I know also contacted SC Johnson and they told him the formula was the same just a name change. He was contacted my a diffirent person from SC Johnson than I was. So, we have two diffirent answers from SC Johnson. I quess the truth is in the testing.

Tom This was posted yesterday on HyperScale: After reviewing the response which was sent to your friend and fellow modeler, I wanted to follow up with you regarding the information that was initially shared with him. Future® is still being manufactured, but is now named Pledge® with Future® Shine. The formula of the product has not changed. It is true; however, that Pledge® with Future® Shine has not been tested for use on plastic scale models so we cannot recommend it for that purpose. As you know weve designed this product for floor care. It sounds as if Future® found a special niche with plastic scale model builders, and we are happy that it has worked well for you. Thank you for giving us a chance to set the record straight. Regards, Kcrista Consumer Relationship Center SC Johnson, A Family Company Toll Free Number: 1-800-558-5252 www.scjbrands.com Which confirms what many of us have said all along, namely, that Future is still available, only the name has been changed. (But I ran out and bought three more bottles of "Pledge with Future Shine" anyway, just in case!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
