Meguiar's M205 - Polishing grit 2500
Menzerna PO85RD - Polishing grit 3000

Meguiar's M205 is a fine polish bringing the surface to a glossy shine and is considered an industry standard.

Menzerna PO85RD is considered by many here to be a step finer giving a more glossier surface.

Both polishes have reasonable working times and for the most part I'll use them both during certain tasks.
 
Thanks a lot guys! :D

but mine is a soft clear coat! Is menz 85rd ok with that?
 
Nice!! :D

Thanks a lot Adam and BobbyG! :dblthumb2:

Need to place an order now!:hungry:

I'd agree with the above...

M205 finishes out very nice on most paints and plenty good for most people's expectations... PO85RD can leave a more clear, flawless finish on some paint systems... just depends upon how good your eyes are and how you inspect.

:)
 
Thanks for confirming Mike :)

btw I use a microscope I have to assess the finish and the depth of swirls and scratches(+ doubtful scratches/other defects)! (though mine is relatively swirl free:D)

I'm thinking of compounding with Megs 105, then finishing with M205 and then 85rd.

Will it work?(soft clear coat - Hyundai)
(btw this will be done only on repainted panels with 3 coats of clearcoat which have fully been cured)

Should work fine...

My normal process would be to do a Test Spot first, make sure I can make one small section look GREAT and then go from there...

Thanks! will do a test spot on the wet-sanded repainted panel!

There with a microscope I can see like infinite scratches!

Hopefully after compounding and polishing there'll be :nomore: :D

Yea! thats what I too noticed! Feed back please
 
It also says that PO85U is formally know as PO85RD. So does mean its just a newer version of it?

I am interested in the Menerna po85rd as well. I have a 2008 Denali and I'm not sure if my paint is considered hard or soft. Does the hardness or softness of the paint determine what type of finishing polish to use? I've recently been using the M205.
 
I had a doubt because I thought that since PO85rd is made for ceramic clear coats it might have lil' more cut(than required) on my Hyundai's soft clear coat.
 
Just a quick question, If I compound with UC, will I need to follow it up with M205 and/or PO85RD??

(I need as perfect a finish as possible!!! :D)

Yes you should be prepared to use M205 or PO85RD. In the prior posting you were worried that PO85RD had too much cut for soft paint. UC is pretty aggressive.
 
^Yea! Initially I thought 85rd was only for cerami-clear clear coats! :o
(every hr here I'm learning something new!)

Actually I'm dealing with a repainted panel which has been wetsanded by a detail shop!(they used a diamond cut compound without following it up with anything and used speed glaze to hide the compounding swirls!)

I want to restore these panels and the whole of the car to a show car finish!

On repainted panels I'm gonna do a test spot with M205 with a white LC pad and follow it with PO85rd.

I'll need UC if the above combo isnt enough for the job!

btw is UC followed by M205 followed by PO85rd, overkill??
