Is PO85RD worth the $$$?

I have used the PO106FF ( same polish just a little more cut ) let's just say if you want to go for a top quality finish, this is it. if you are not super picky, the FPII will work. I have both and prefer the PO106FF. the finish looks so clear you see your paint a lot better. do a search for the P085RD and check out some of the pics. just an f.y.i. sent you a PM.

Well worth the money! Its one of my favs. very easy to use.
I'm still undecided on that :nixweiss
For what its worth...
I detailed my black car a couple months ago with Optimum Polish and an orange light cutting pad via PC, and was very happy with the results. I wanted to do a pass with PO85RD, but really was pressed for time, so instead I just used it on half my hood. I really had a hard time noting any differences, if any, but then again it was my first time using Menzerna, and it was getting dark. I plan on revisiting PO85RD, but my sights aren't set as high as they we're before.

No detail for you!!!
A nice product. I don't know of anything else like it.
Easy to use with a DA polisher as well.
This will only work on an already well-prepped surface.
Only for the diehard detailer who's willing to go the extra mile. The difference isn't huge but if it's a product that works for you, you'll never go back.

Yeah, give it another try. FPII finishes nicer than OCP and 85RD finishes nicer than that.

Pakshak has it too.
I got mine from a local online store in Australia.

Not to take the thread too off topic, but I just bought Menzerna IP & FPII. I'm wondering how the PO85RD & PO106FF compare to the IP & FPII. The only thing I know for sure is that FPII is the least agressive of all four.

Actually I think the 85RD is the the more mild one. It's for 3000 sanding marks. Both 106FF and 85RD finish out at a gloss level of 5 on Menzerna's gloss scale while FPII finishes out at a 4.
That is correct. The PO85RD is less aggressive than the FPII. However, you can't go wrong with either or. But you can work the PO85RD a little more than FPII to help bring back more of the gloss on the finish. It spreads easily and and it's a joy to work with it either the PC 7336 or Makita 9227.

NHBFAN, sori to hijack ur thread.
Ranney, can you advise on the working time of the PO85RD compared to the optimum polish? The 2 Menzernas cost three times more than the Optimum polish and i really wonder if the result and time spent is worth it

I actually have all three you mentioned, and do plan on revisiting the PO85RD come spring time. I'm sure if anyone would know about NBP, it would be you. :lol
What have you been topping PO85RD with on your Teg?
a little OT, but wow it is absolutely beautiful up in Northern NJ for mid November weather.
I'm really crossing my fingers its like this next week, because aside from Monday, I have a full week off of school and plan on doing a full detail on my car and hopefully my other family members cars in anticipation for this coming winter. :grinno:

The Manzerna costs more but a little goes a long way. the stuff is easy to use and leaves an awesome finish. just make sure you have your car prepped well before you use it. have to say that I used the OP and while it is versatile ( removes more defects ) it does not finish as well .

I'm just curious. I'm not sure I'm working the IP or the FPII long enough. About how long do you guys work these products say on a 2' square section.
