I use to buy Future in the States and Klear in the UK and they are exactly the same thing. I've rad somewhere that the same stuff it's available in France too. I managed to find the product, always manufactured from Johnsons, but when I opende the bottle (it's a whit one not a transparent one) I found that it smells almost the same, its density it's almost the same but it's not clear, it's a kind of pinkish!!! There's anybody who can help me finding out if this stuff is what I bought, or if it is available under another name, or it's not available in France, etc.?
Thanks for your time...

Hi Fabio, Have you tried using it ( the pink stuff?) and if so ...does it dry clear?

Fabio:

In the latest FSM Magazine there is a nice two page write up about Future and at the end is a list of Future's equivalant around the world. According to the article. France and Belium's calls Future "Klir"
If this is the stuff you bought that's it.. At least according to the article.
Hope this helps ya out

Paul

Thanks everybody for the replies. Thanks Warlock to make the bell ring!!! I read it on FSM. I've tried to put a drop of Klir on a tile in the bathroom and it actually dries clear. The only concern I've got is that being pink when put on a model it can act as a filter, but I have to wait to go back home to make some tests...
Thanks a lot again
Ciao
