Hey guys,
Tried out PO85RD this weekend and loved the polish.
Application method:
- Z7 wash, skipped claying
- Menzerna PO85RD with PC and 4" white polishing pad from Detailer`s Paradise, speed 5-6 (I like the power)
- Sonus Polishing towel to remove residue
- Menzerna FMJ with 4" finishing pad from DP
- Removal with DP`s Platinum MF towel (very fluffy, one of the best MF towels I`ve tried)
Pros:
- burnishes to high gloss, among the best I`ve seen
- easy to use
- leaves surface ready for last step product, possibly Zaino ready
- removes minor swirls, similar to 3M SMR, FPII
Cons:
- can be expensive because you must buy 32 oz, but not bad at all when considering $ per oz.
- slight dusting, could have washed car afterwards
Leaves a slightly better gloss than FPII and doesn`t leave much behind. Given the durability of Zaino over FPII, I don`t have much doubt it would do well applied directly over this as well.
Then topped with FMJ, which seems to be slightly less reflective than Z2, but provides a warmer, wetter look. Maybe tomorrow when it has cured, the shine will come up a bit. Very slick, more so than Zaino! Comes off easier than anything I`ve tried as well. The Detailer`s Paradise Platinum MF towel is one of the best I`ve tried. After my next wash, I`ll do a Menzerna Acrylic Shield wipe down with a DF Towel.
BTW, I like the 4" pad combo on the PC so much, I use it for everything. More power, it`s smoother, and more convenient. Don`t know what I`m going to do with my 6" pads anymore.
The Zaino and Menzerna lines are my favorites these days. Really top notch products coming from both companies.

Light wasn`t too good when I took shots, will try to get some more next week. Thanks for stopping by.
