Dodo Lime Prime vs. Menzerna PO85rd

85 is stronger. Plus, I would not use lime prime on toyota's or honda's(not that your going to, just a FYI)
 
It marred the crap out of my wifes toyota. Also, I think Chad(Rasky) marred his honda with it too. It say on the website to be careful with it on Japenese paint. It works great on my Infiniti.

Interesting. :xyxthumbs:

If 85rd is stronger, should it not be used on honda paint either? Not sure if this is the correct logic to use? LOL

85 has diminishing abrasives. Lime prime does not. On softer paint it can cause marring, just like M205 can do the same on soft paint. Here's the link to Dodo, I hope it's allowed. Click the bottom"see the ride" then look to the right at the hints and tips.
Dodo Juice Lime Prime Pre-wax Cleanser - prep and pre-wax. fresh from the dodo.

Ahhh, so LP uses non-dimishing abrasives?
 
Bad experience with Dodo Lime Prime and my Mits as well. Sticking with 85 for now.

Yes, it has micro-abrasives like M205 that do not break down. Unless I am grossly mistaken!!

I emailed dodo and asked them if they consider micro-abrasives the same as non-diminishing. I'm pretty sure they're the same like you said. I'll let you know.

Lou, I wonder if the miro abrasives are non diminishing and that's what is causing the mirco marring. It can't be the chemicals so it must be the abrasives with little to no lube.

Probally!! I was dropping F bombs all over the place after I saw the hood. I just looked at M205's description. It has micro-abrasives, so yes lime prime has non-diminishing.
 
Woah! M205 does use SMAT! I highly doubt M205 will marr Honda's paint at all. I am pretty sure plenty of people have used M205 as their last polish on Honda and Toyota's plain with wonderful results.

No, M205 will not finish marr free on some soft paints.

Are you on the right thread? Who's talking about 205?

Truth. The black SRT-4 that I just polished out has had almost every panel re-painted at one point or another. On the left quarter panel the paint was real soft for some reason and after M205 I stepped by and thought to myself, what the heck just happened? I hit it with PO85RD and that cleaned everything right up. Most of the other panels finished down great with M205.

Oh, well for the most part I would guess it should be fine. UHG, I think I might be getting some 85rd then. bah.

Lou was talking about Do Do Juice Prime Lime cleaner not 205.
 
I said 205 could do the same(not always and not all soft paint). I was basically saying that 205 had the same kind of abrasives as lime prime, and that 85RD would finish down better on softer paint with diminishing abrasives vs lime prime. 205 ws just a example of a micr-abrasive.

I'm just stating what I have had happen to me, so decide what you want. I can't finish down my wifes car with 205 or lime prime. Other cars work well with both.
