So for the past year or so, I've been thinning my paints with 1:1 with a Future floor care blend (9 parts Future/1 part water). I really like how the thinned paint goes on. Does anyone know if the paint is also gaining protective qualities, like scratch resistance, as well?

I've done this as well. Though I like a bit more water. I also go heavy on the future mix for highlights to make them a bit more transparent.

Yeah, it's a bit tougher I find.

Nice, happy to know its not my imagination.
