It wasn't hard to find here. There are 3 stores within 10 miles of each other that carry it. Here's the manufactuer's/distributor's link: https://generalfinishes.com/


Here's my preference in terms of high-gloss or near high-gloss finishes

  1. CA (followed by Meguiars 105, 205, and then Rejex)
  2. Pen Plus Friction Polish followed by the Micro Abrasive Wax (aka Dr. Brown's)
  3. WTF

- but it takes me more than a dozen coats and a good amount of drying time between coats to achieve something about 75% as good as CA.


I really wished that the WTF performed as well as CA. It was originally designed to finish hardwood floors so I would think the shine and durability would be there. Maybe, I am doing something wrong. I have not tried Craft Coat. I hear (but have never seen) that it achieves more of a semi-gloss finish (again, I have no personal) experience.


I also though this was going to be a high gloss finish:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orcgOf4siqc . It definitely easy, but not super high gloss. The video is also 6 years old.
