Anybody ever tried Future Floor wax as a replacement for those expensive acrylic sealers?



I am guessing but I think you may find that they are similar products.
 
I would guess not. Futura floor sealer yielded pretty crappy results compared to Sc Johnson's paste wax. This all factors in to the correct floor cleaning and prep though.......



But we are talking about floors aren't we????
 
"But we are talking about floors aren't we????"



No.



Future Floor Wax is a clear acrylic product designed to seal, protect and shine. It's been used for years by plastic modelers as a gloss top coat on models. Use it on clear plastic ( model aircraft canopies) and it make it optically perfect.



My guess is it is similar to what is being sold for use on cars. I would love to see it go head to head against Klasse.
 
Just have to make sure that it doesn't have any chemicals in it that'll harm the paint on the vehicles. If you can show me it doesn't, then I'd probably try it on my truck.
 
All the liquid floor waxes I have ever tried always dried uneven, and/or left streaks. Probably not a problem on small panels like a model car, but I bet you'll have all kinds of problems on a full sized car panel.
 
It's all a SCAM to get free Klasse!!! :shocked :spot



Just kidding. :D



Is Future slick like a car product, or less slick because they don't want people killing themselves on floors? Also how long does Future last and stand up to UV and repeated wettings?



I'm just as curious about this as well, but somehow just because it contains the word "acrylic" doesn't tell me it'll behave similarly to Klasse. Just think of all the other crappy products out there that wave words like "polymers" and "synthetic" and "sealant" under your nose, but don't deserve to? :nixweiss
 
I have used this sealer on floors before. It is pretty thick and does not dry very flat or smooth. It looks like it would be a disaster on a door panel.
 
It will not work on paint it will not dry even it will work on matte surfaces we used CLEAR floor wax on vinyl tops in the 60s we also used it on tires dash boards and door panels and other hard plastics. Keep in mind that we used floor wax on cars that were beaters not nice cars. Hey a beater is got to look good too
 
Well....I recently got sick of my whitish cladding on my truck...



and tried this stuff....



Works great....easy to apply...CHEAP CHEAP...



and is lasting very well...hides most if not all of the white areas...



Amazing...



only thing to be aware of is to ensure your applicator is dry NO WATER...and ensure the future dries before it can get wet...



but once dry...AWESOME

What would that be?



Cheaper then FUTURE? $5 for 24 ounces



Is it better and if so in what way?





Peeps with faded cladding want to know....hehehe

i just bought some mop and glo for use on my wheel wells. my wife thought that i was crazy. i used it on the plastic on the front end wheel wells. it has been on for three or four days and i like the look that it provides. i also put it on my mud flaps both front and rear. i like the results as well.
 
One of the problems with floor products is that they contain Dimethyl, which is derived from Aromatic hydrocarbon (petroleum) distillates, which are environmentally unsound and give a slick, oily finish, which attracts dust and dirt and amplifies sunlight causing vinyl and most plastics to dry out and crack.

Silicone provides the gloss and also the water repellency, while the acrylic provides the â€Ëœsealâ€â„¢



A word of caution, do not be tempted to use household cleaning products for automotive cleaning or care as they are formulated for very different purposes and could cause damage.

not oily on my truck...quite the opposite....Dry to touch...kinda like a clear coat paint....



oily is tire shine products...IMO...



I will say this...nothing could make my "Fading" any worse...and for drying out...how does plastic dry out? is it a liquid?
