Re: Menzerna Polish Confusion, Why 4??

I think that he hit all the highpoints really.

I agree that 85RD is my favorite of the Menz finishing polishes. It is similar to Ultrafina in its finishing quality, but its propensity to be difficult to work with in comparison to Ultrafina has me using the 3M almost all the time. I will stick with the 85RD for Benz and Ferrari and other ceramiclear finishes, but just about everything else gets the Ultrafina. On the occasions that I do use the Menz, I finish of the 106FF with 85RD.

They both have a good working time, but I think that Ultrafina spreads easier, and is a little bit more predictable. I wouldn't look down on the "oil based" products because the extra lubrication that it gives makes it a lot more workable. It is a bit of a hassle to have to finish off with prep-sol or another solvent to completely remove it, but I view that extra work as worth it considering the ease of use.
