Hi Jacob,
As you have stated, "Future" brand floor polish and any like products are not available in Spain, as can be documented in this article here... BUT, it is available re-packaged in a smaller container for re-sale by GreatModels...just type in "Future" in the search function, and you will find it listed...maybe some of your closer to home modeling mates will chime in with an outlet nearer your area as well........

Hi Jacob

I would not be as stringent as Gunny

There are similar products in Europe. I am using Klear, which I bought in England. IIRC it is called Klir in France. There is Erdal Glänzer in Germany .. which I have not tried yet because I did not find it in local store then. A standard bottle lasts pretty long!

Just pay a visit to a local drugstore and have a look at the brands there .. and then just try one out. The main advantage of Future is its price and thus I would not pay an Import price plus p&p for a small amount of a floor wax.

just my 2ct

cheers

Hi,

I think you could try any acrylic floor polish, of which there are many: Pronto, Sidolux etc.

Good luck.

According to the swannysmodels article, Pronto should be just what you're looking for.

Hi Jacob:

Here in Argentina doesnīt exists the brand Future, but here Johnson has the brand Glo Coat thatīs also an acrilic floor polish. It isnīt transparente like Future. Itīs white, but when dried the result is identical.
I think that any Johnson Acrylic Floor Polish will work.

^ Indeed. I wouldn't be so surprised to hear that Johnson has only one acrylic floor polish that's just sold under a different name in each country.
