Airbrushing a Clear Coat with Future Floor Polish (or PFM as it's called now) 

Wish I knew this technique years ago when I first started building models… I use PLEDGE, one bottle last a long time… Anyways, this really helps with decals from silvering… Everything you just showed was very HELPFUL… This video was very ENTERTAINING and INFORMATIVE 😊… Another great Video Jon… You have my LIKE 👍… Have a great week PENNSYLVANIA 😬 CHRIS from OHIO 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻 HOBBY TIME ON……

Great video

"Future" or "PFM" are very effective to eliminate small scratches or foggy surface of clear parts. Just dip them into the above liquids and let dry.

I have a bottle of Future that's about 5 or 6 yrs. old and has a very light caramelly tint to it. Just from sitting around. Used it the other day to fix's a very scratch up front and rear wind shields on a Revell skill 2 57 chevy, I am working on. It turned out clear, no tint and most important no scratches. If the window come out tinted, I can always say it is a customized window tinting process that only i know how to do. More problem with runs and micro bubbles, but after a couple tries, get it. With just a very small, hard to see, only when you real look hard, after I point it out, and can be hidden under the window trim, run. That all.

sounds like an excellent product that achieves just as good if not better than the prepackaged coatings. Plus saves tons of money. Best part of video was pressure setting that helps a lot. Cheers till the next one.

Hey Jon, great tips! I have a bottle of future from 20 years ago that still does the trick. I’ve used both Mr Clear and Tamiya clear. They each have there own benefits but like you say the future is more forgiving if you over apply. Thanks!

If you like yellow clearcoat and fingerprints in your finish future or pfm is great. Otherwise 2k clear is the only way to go if you want a clear hard coat shine.

Boa tarde meu amigo... interessante esses vernizes ... Ótimas montagens em 2024.

I like to do a coat of Future and then apply decals and put a drop on the decal. It is weird how the decal scrunches up at first but then smooths out like it was painted on. Then I put another coat of Future on with a little bit of baby powder mixed in to get a nice matte finish over the entire model.

Hola Jon, felicitaciones excelente vídeo, en mi caso he probado varios tipos de "barnices" o ceras de piso, la marca future o pledge no llegan acá, sin embargo hay uno que es lo mismo con otro nombre de la misma empresa que fabrica el pledge, los resultados sobre pinturas acrílicas son de lo mejor, me permiten una aplicación de la calcas de forma pareja, iguala el brillo. Una vez sellado con la segunda capa, el paneleo se hace fácil, utilizo para ello líquido casero que hago, me gusta más el resultado de estos que los de tipo enamel, no daña el acabado y se quita fácil. Con el ensuciado es lo mismo, un buen resultado producto de la resistencia del "barniz/cera". Es por esto que lo prefiero a los barnices de marcas para modelismo, muy caros y en envases pequeños. Tampoco diluyo el barniz/cera, directo al aerógrafo. Saludos y hasta el próximo video

AGAIN they've changed the brand name..is it Pledge Revive now? Amazon doesn't show PFM anymore. Would Quick Shine be close as well?

Hey Jon, you mentioned that it doesn't yellow. I have a bottle of original Future (I bought 15 years ago). It was crystal clear, but now it is yellowish liquid. I think it yellows over time. But, considering thin layer of application, it may not be noticable.

A question, what do you use to clean the airbrush after applying the Pledge? Greetings and good work.

Excellent video...impressively detailed about all required facts. Now if you can tell us where you can find this product since it was discontinued years ago.

PFM is excellent. Unfortunately it’s not available here in Italy. I’ve only one bottle purchased back some time ago while in U.S. and I use it to protect clear plastic (canopies etc.). It works wonders. Thank you for the good video.

My metal finish clear coat has been testors metalizer because it works on all paint manufacturers & doesn't dull finish. Before it was discountinued I bought as many bottles online I could find.😁 Jman

I'll never stop calling it Future! Hahaha

unfortunatly this product is not available in my country .

Does it contain ammonium hydroxide? Can you point to a store where I can order this from the United States? Or, at least, what's the current name of the product, is it still Pledge Floor Polish? Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be available anywhere in the EU anymore, not even under the "local" J&J label Pronto...

SC Johnson has discontinued this product over a year ago…..

unfortunately this product was discontinued over a year ago and is no longer available, and johnson does not make another similar product. Quick Shine Floor Finish is similar but not as good. it sags and runs more easily and requires lighter and more careful application

It's been completely discontinued RIP future/pledge
