Hi there

There have been a number of posts recently from people having trouble finding Future or Klear.

I might have found an alternative... Turtle Wax "Wet 'n Black" Tyre Dressing.

I've done a quick test and it seems to be basically the same stuff... it's dried quickly and the results look promising.

Please DON'T risk ruining a model with this stuff without doing some tests of your own... but it does show distinct possibilities...

All the best

Hi again

Well, I've given this stuff a week to dry... and there's no sign of anything nasty happening!!

It's buffed up to a really nice shine, so I think it's safe to add to the arsenal of finishing coats! :-)

All the best
