CharlieNZ Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 What's the difference between these and Phil Flory's washes? They seem to be very similar (even having the same name in some cases). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich G Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 What's the difference between these and Phil Flory's washes? They seem to be very similar (even having the same name in some cases). I would say not much, they are both clay based washes, the colours might vary slightly but they are very similar products. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Centurion Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 What happened to the Pro Modeller Washes? I've been out of the hobby for 5 years and they were highly thought of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue_Centurion Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Tough to buy them (Flory's wash) across the pond. It cost me $25 for two (2) bottles with postage. I hope they're worth the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 I've split this off from the Ultimate wash review for obvious reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4rky Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 I believe Promodeller and Flory model s are the same. Phil originally sold them under the Promodeller name (along with other things dvds etc) but there was another company, or a trademark, also called Promodeller so he had to change to Flory Models 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Not quite correct. Phil started with Flory wash, which was sold to an unnamed third party who appeared to do nothing with it (to my knowledge). Then a new company from Phil called Promodeller came into existence using a different formulation. They changed their name after some trademark issues and I think we're now up to date.

Bozothenutter Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 How is this better than making your own? Or is it just convenience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayprit Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 I have all the Flory washes and would say its just convenience.............having said that, I am not keen on them, I rarely use them as I prefer to use my own concoction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little-cars Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I had a quick chat to Phil about the washes at Telford as I would like to stock them. The washes are now looked after by a sister company and currently don't sell to other retail traders. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chief Smeg Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 So, does anyone have a clear preference for the Flory washes or the Ultimate ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRunner Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I use Dark dirt as a standard. As will have been said elsewhere, Flory washes MUST be applied on gloss surfaces only, which must be thoroughly cured. I wait one week for enamel varnish (Gloss Cote) Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
