I have been trying to get hold of some Future/Klear/Kleer for some time now. Here in Britain Tescos, Homebase, B&Q, Screwfix, the local hardware shop all don't have it. Can any kind soul tell me where to get it, or recommend an alternative?
Thanks

My local Sainsburys stock it.(Ripley Derbyshire)
You can also find it on Evilbay, but the item I looked at was 3 times the price it is in the shops which is just outrageous.( then theres postage on top! )

I know I raised this here before but following thread over on Britmodeller it appears that Klear is indeed discontinued. Grab some while stocks last! It also seems that the replacement product is not the same although there is some debate about this.
You'll be alright with your stock Nige!
Cheers all

Clive et al:

Here in the states the company that makes Future/Kleer for some reason changed the name of the product.

Over here it is now called "Pledge with Future Shine". There are three names it is known by in the UK. It was unfortunately Discontinued there for some reason. So if you can find stocks of it under the new name scoop it up.

There is some great info here that may help.

Good luck and hope this helps

£7.91 inc P&P on Ebay UK (500ml)... here

And because it's really annoying when someone searches for this 6 months down the line and the Ebay listing has expired, try searching for Ebay member GETTHEMFAST

Also try Great Models Webstore http://www.greatmodels.com/ as they take Klear/Future and break it down into a smaller size and resell it...hey, it's a place to find it if all else fails. Also the new Pledge with Future Shine works just the same as Future except for the new improved smell (which I think is bloody awful!)
