So what do I use instead of future for canopies?

I know, a bit late to the party with this but my last bottle of Future has finally concealed into an unusable gloop.   What is available to do the same job?

'Astonish' floor polish. Home Bargains shops 99p / £1 a bottle of 750ml.

Exactly the same as Future

Cheers I'll look out for that.

I used Klear/Future (the original stuff) since getting back into the hobby back in 2001, however moving to Norway in 2014 I left my Klear at home. As a result I had to purchase Pledge Extra Protection Wax which is what Pledge Multi Surface is sold as here in Scandinavia and on the Continent, this is the milky coloured successor to Klear and I have to say I am completely satisfied with it. I use it on canopies and it behaves exactly like old Klear making them clearer and appear thinner. I also use it as a gloss coat and it behaves exactly the same way as Klear did, it self levels, dries clear and gives an excellent gloss finish which I have no problems using enamel washes on top of and also enamel matt varnishes. I love the stuff and the only difference I've found is that the new stuff has a rather nice smell to it, apart from that it behaves exactly like the old stuff for me.
