What is the name of the new FUTURE ?

Believe it's currently "Pledge Revive-It Floor Gloss --Original--"...unless they've changed the name again.

Was formerly known as Pledge FloorCare Multi-Surface Finish, originally known as Future,

The real future is in the past.

Dark Helmet: So when will then be now?

Colonel Sanders: Soon.

My input on the question is that I'm pretty much in the same camp as people who say "Future is for floors".  Much better alternatives available these days.

I am not sure what you are planning to do with Future (whatever it's current name is), but I advise caution.

A number of years ago I used it as a clear coat. The Future micro-cracked after it cured. I think that the red paint was not fully cured when I applied the Future.

If I may offer a clarification, that's a caution to make sure whatever paint is on the model's surface has cured, before applying Future-or any clear coat medium, for that matter.  It's not an issue with Future itself.  As far as I can tell, from using Future as a gloss coat since the mid-90s, Future is inert and doesn't react with paint underneath it.  I use it regularly over water- and alcohol-based acrylics, over enamels, and sometimes over lacquers, too.

I tried using the new Future (Pledge Floor Care, I think) a few years ago when I was just starting my recently completed F-16CJ build.  I airbrushed it onto the parts of the main gear well that I had airbrushed with Tamiya X-2.  Due to issues with spare time at that point, that Tamiya X-2 had a little over 3 weeks to cure before I put the Future on it...and a week or two later, I could see under bright light that the coat of Future had developed a nasty spider web of cracks in it.  It may be due to the "newer" formulation of Future, but it cracks, even on fully-cured paint.  The newer formulation has also proven to react badly with Bob Dively's Liquid Mask on canopies.  I ended up having to use Novus to polish all of the crazed Future off of my nicely-painted canopy, and ended up finding out that nothing looks better than a canopy that has been polished with Novus.
