Hi, Wilkinsons is a good bet - or at least it was until about 6 month ago (we don't have Wilko's up here ) but a check on their website should confirm whether they still stock it. Larger Sainsbury's often have it, and ASDA almost always have it - certainly the large ones. ASDA are the cheapest. Forget Tesco, Morrisons and Co-op. They never have it. You will usually find it near the other floor cleaning stuff like Flash and Cif.

Yep. There was rumor that this product was going out of the market, but it seems it is not. As has been said thats your best bet, if you use it just for glazeing and Decales it will last a life time from one bottle ;D. Only in the last year have I used it, but its great stuff for sealing decals etc.

Any major supermarket - I get mine from ASDA - it's a floor polish in case you're looking in the wrong place?

One minor point - here is a thread in the Hints & Tips/Paint section in which Johnson's confirm that they have stopped making Klear

I believe that the new equivalent to Klear is........Pledge Multi Surface Wax. Have a look at the link in Bluedonkey's post

The old Klear can still be found if one looks around enough. Morrissons seems to be one of the last places to hold stocks so they are worth a look. They still had stocks of the old bottles until just a few weeks ago, here in Sheffield. The "new" Klear seems to work just as well but the worry here is that nobody can be certain of its long-term qualities as it simply hasn't been around long enough. However it seems likely that it will be perfectly fine, but if anyone claims to be certain on this, it might be worth asking them again in ten years or so?! If you're desperate for a bottle of the old stuff, let me know as I have loads of 'em!
