Patriot Prime Repairs: Fixing Loose Figure Joints With Pledge Floor Polish 

Quick Shine is comparable to Pledge. Here's a link if you want to try it. amzn.to/3qiJRso

This is a fantastic video! Thank you for doing this. Countless reviews I've heard "use floor polish" on loose figures but never have they explained what kind of floor polish or how to use it, but you did and you explained how to with various joints and connections. Thumbs way up! 👍👍👍

I've used clear nail polish on Tracks hips and knees. It worked good

I used the same bottle of pledge for over 10 years and it still works good.

I'm really glad you finally made this video. Every time you mentioned, or other youtubers mentioned, you'd have to put some floor polish on a figure to tighten it up I always immediately thought, "But hoooooowwwww?!?!?!?!" I have quite a few guys that are ready to get this treatment now. Thanks for this.

Dude, seriously, thank you for this. I have figures with loose joints that are on pins, and I thought I might have to take them out, which would've been annoying because I don't have the tools for that lol.

Awesome video!! Now I can get to work fixing up many loose joints on my collection!! Thanks 🙏

As soon as I saw you fixed Fangry's legs with it I was sold that this would work.

It does seem to be a better 'get your money's worth' deal than Kiki. Thanks for sharing this!

Thanks for this! Nice to see it done on video.

I use Pledge with a bottle cap and cheap paint brushes from the dollar store. I will try the Q-Tips and see if they are any different.

Our main man giving us more tips and tricks! What a great vid

This looks pretty good. I just picked up Leader 1 for my Armada Megs and the legs are so loose on the little minicon. Need to try this out!

This works really well thanks for taking the time to make the video!

Thank you so much for sharing

Great vid! For us across the pond that are unable to get this specific brand - what kind of floor polish is it? Chemically I mean, what's the 'star ingredient'? What am I looking for at the store (label)? Also how do you usually fix tabs that wore out and won't hold any longer?

I couldn't find the Pledge and was afraid to try a different brand so I bought the Kiki. I honestly think Kiki is just floor polish or watered down Elmer's glue.

I never used the floor polish to tighten joints but clear nail polish works for me

Have you tried this with the store brand, like Great value, my core class slug has loose ball joints. Or would you suggest going with the name brand you showed off?

My ratchet was perfect but I got same issue with blurr gonna do this now thx patriot prime

Thanks for the video. One question though how well does this hold up? Will it still work even after transforming this figures multiple times?

Great video, thank you SO much for this!

After applying glue, do I need to put the leg/arm back onto the figure or should I keep it out and then wait for some hours

I used to apply too much floor polish, and that caused the joints of my figures to feel sticky and creaky. Is there a way to reverse the damage?

im late, but i have have a quick question: does it work on metal-on-plastic wear? I may use this tutorial on a Gobot i own, (specifically zig zag) since the head is extremely loose

I'm really glad you finally made this video can you make more like this if they are any more ways to do thing like this

Thanks for the vid, this really helps.👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks for this video, my Kingdom Galvatron has a loose right leg at the hip, just like your Ratchet. Not if only I can find some Pledge...

Does it effect the transformation processes?

He has Shakira hips 🤣🤣, i guess the hips don't lie lol great video 👍

Awesome! Thank you for making this!

This gives me hope for my Super 7 🐢

Just added the floor polish to my ultra magnus, studio series Optimus primal, Noah Diaz, core class arcee blackout and legacy bludgeon , now just gonna wait tomorrow

What are those little tools you are using? Where can I buy the Pledge floor care?

Ss86 blurr has that problem too but it seems worse.

So I have a kingdom warpath with a loose hip and a seige Apeface with a loose shoulder. Would this method work?

And for watching this I'm wondering if this would be the solution for siege ironhide's panels that keep popping off. Great video sir.

Prime!! Where did you find your sweet screwdriver?? 🤩🤩

I've seen some people's studio series Ultra Magnus shoulders to be loose so if my Ultra Magnus does come with loose joints i will try this

Having stumbled upon this, does anyone know what the active thing in the floor polish that increases the friction? Like uh, what is actually solidifying that is allowing the joints to beocme tighter and all that jazz.

I always hate when reviewers are like "man this figure isn't good because its loose right out of the packaging" in my head I'm just screaming "just use floor polish!!"

You advise this for neck ball joints? I'm doing a head swap from a 5mm head to a 4mm neck.

Does this also work for loose 5mm pegs/ports?

When closing the pledge cap have a tissue over the cap so it does not squirt everywhere.

Would the Floor Polish word for tabs that are too loose to hold together properly? thinking of trying it on a couple transformers that have a couple QC issues.

Will this work on MotU Origins figures? I've got a He-Man figure that has a loose neck joint.

I thought you were going to put the floor polish on the tab for blur’s arm.

Does any floor polish give the same results? I'm in Australia and can't find Pledge or Quick Shine here.

I gotta get me something like this to fix a few issues. Not being in America can make it a bit harder to find similar products, and where to buy the things from.

Will this work with voyager class tarn? The legs and an elbow flop around easily when it came out of the box

Great, but how do you apply it to a figure like hunt for the decepticons seaspray? His leg swivel and groin along with the metal rods he has all over have been very loose recently so does anyone have a suggestion for that?

What would you recommend for pegs? My bso3 Optimus has his waist and shoulder pegs that won't stay in their slots. Any help?

Does quick shine multi surface work Does it matter at all what brand you use

I've had no problems using good old fashioned Elmer's glue over the years

Does this work on older figures? I have some beast wars figures with really loose knees that I've been wanting to fix

Bought a third party shockwave whose hips were lose. Used Quickshine and it worked though I didn't think to let it sit for like twelve hours... I was wondering why it didn't seem to work but I didn't let it set lol.

Does this works for the pegged on joints for the ss Scourge smoke stacks?! All 4 are loose 🥲🥲

You know what would work better than q-tips are those cheapy needle oiler bottles for putting the Pledge right where you need it and nowhere else.

Would this also work on loose ratchet joints/heads on a ball joint that feels like it isn't attached?

So… looked into this and the Pledge product is discontinued. You can still get it… from ppl selling it at $60+ per bottle My wife found a comparable product with Holloway House and, funny enough, there was a positive testimonial from a hobbyist! Still good info!

Hi, I am in Australia, I was wondering if you know any floor polish substitutes that I could get

I have a metal build Gundam with a loose joint, but I left it in a box for a couple of years and it’s not loose no more, weird?

This bottle of pledge was discontinued and now costs 130 dollars a bottle. Any alternatives?

Guess you didn’t hear but Johnson & Johnson has discontinued Pledge floor care as of January 2022. End of an era.

Does it have to be pledge or can it be another company?

Does this work with other floor cleaner

can someone who has used the quick shine tell me if its weaker then the pledge or just as great?

Anyone ever use this type of fix on ratchet joints? Not Ratchet (seen above), but the actual click-click joints?

Have you tried nail polish?

Does it work on masterpiece figures such as mp 46s arm joint?

I use super glue just dont let it get stuck...and only takes about ten min

I actually use a eye dropper when I use pledge. I think it's a little easier to control how much pledge gets used

Dawm dish soap will ungum your brushes.

Just wood floor polish work, accidentally bought wood floor polish

Metric user here , while millilitres is correct you just say mills
