Sorry I don't and I did hear on a podcast that it was out of production never to be produced again. Seems they didn't sell enough of it and it was tiny profit producer compared to their other products.

Plenty of other specialized products out there that are better for modeling anyway....IMHO.

Oh that is a hard one, don’t know of any Italian guys in here to help source for you
Future got a reputation as an easy and cheap ‘general’ clear and I use it as such for simple things. They change the name and formulation and different countries have different product requirements, so it can be a variable product unfortunately.
Also, if it is expensive to get where you live, it makes more sense to use other modelling based clear products or even Artist clears like Windsor and Newton etc.
Flory models did a good video about pledge a few years back it might be a start for you to look in Europe.


There are other options too like AK Gauzy or Aquagloss
If you are doing car clear coats I would say Gravity Spain 2k Clears are an excellent product
Tamiya and Mr Color also make clears

I hope that is a bit helpful :cheers2:

I did find this.

Pledge is a cleaning product made by S. C. Johnson & Son.[1] First sold in 1958,[2] it is used to help dust and clean. Pledge is known as Pliz in France, and Blem in Argentina.[3] In several countries, it is sold as Pronto.

It is discontinued though.
