I use johnsons future floor polish... in a large plastic bottle, good stuff but i may have spelt that wrong. try asda etc etc
Future is made by the scJohnson Co. in Wisconsin. In the UK, I believe it is scJohnson's Klear. It is not a wax or a polish. It is an acrylic floor 'finish'. It goes on as a liquid and dries to a hard clear finish.
Here is some good info:

Johnson Klear is the exact same stuff. It is excellent for spraying over models as a gloss varnish. You can also dip canopies in it to remove tiny scratches and give them a proper "perspex" shine.
I've also heard that some people polish their kitchen floors with it, but I don't believe a word of it! ;-)
They are called "women" Enzo and bringing home a bottle of floorshine is likely to provoke a response such as "Are you saying I don't clean the floors properly?" and immediate filing for divorce.

Yes, I know all about women.
OK... I'm lying to you. I know *nothing* about women at all.
Every time I think I've figured them out, they go and do something totally different. They are incredibly strange creatures.
I've heard of some people scraping all the glue spots and paint splatter off their workbenches and applying Future over the worktop. They say it makes the top look neater and easier to find small parts. Well, I really only heard of one person doing it.
and the throbbers are better than the whiners....
Yes, but like aircraft, so much fun to watch whilst in motion. They also come in a variety of colours, markings and features.

They have other uses too. They can make the coffee when a friend visits so you don't have to interrupt the conversation.

and in five minutes after you wake with a hangover, they can tell you all your shortcomings, make you feel like the lowest creature on earth, then turn around, dust you off and make you believe you're ok. and feed you breakfest. hmmm, maybe another relationship.... (shoot me, please.)
