Wondering what people use now Klear is not available. Used the last of mine up and struggling to find an alternative which works just as good.

Re: Life after Klear
After lots of research when I started modeling again I think I have a replacement. According to the web "Long Life self shining floor polish" is Klear rebranded. I got a bottle from Bunnings about two years ago. It airbrushes straight from the bottle, self levels really well and dries fast. Tamiya decal solution and Micro set/sol don't affect it. I've sprayed Alclad lacquers, Tamiya acrylics/lacquers, AK and Mig Acrylics and Humbrol enamels over it with no issues.
AK Interactive also have a product they are calling "future clear" but I have not tried it and vol/$ the floor polish is a whole lot cheaper!

Re: Life after Klear
While this may do the same job on your models as well or better than Future/Klear, I don't believe it is the same stuff. Future/Klear is made by SC Johnson and is currently marketed under the Pledge brand in the USA and apparently in Australia/New Zealand also. Although I work for SC Johnson, I don't use Future much for modeling but know folks who do.
