I know this stuff is like Future, but I just want to make sure it's not going to turn yellow on me over time. Anybody have experience with this?

I would suggest sticking with Future or using it on a test model.

Mop 'n Glow! Wow! I haven't seen a bottle of that stuff in 30 years! I thought it was off the market and long gone.
Yeah, I agree with the other Matt. Stick with Future, we know it works.

WelI, I tested it and so far so good! No yellowing. I'm just concerned that in a few years it might yellow. I guess that would be imppossible to test for though.

Leaving a test model in direct sunlight, such as near a window, may help to accelerate any aging effects. You may want to give this a try.
