Menz Micro polish vs. PO85rd?

Im looking for a pure jeweling product to be used with a very fine finishing pad. I have narrowed it down to the Micro polish PO87 or the PO85rd. What exactly is the difference and which will leave a higher gloss finish after jeweling?

Thanks

I finish up with the Menz Micro and have always been pleased with the outcome.

87 on a blue pad for jeweling. Both will give you max. gloss, but 87 has less cut and if you are jeweling the paint I don't think you need any cut. Try using Pinnacle Painwork Cleansing Lotion before waxing. It will give you an awesome finish.

BMW metallics are generally harder so for a dedicated finishing polish I would use 85rd because it was formulated for harder clears and therefore offers a bit more cut while finishing just about the same as the 87mc, which I would use for BMW flat black because it works finer and has less abrasives in it which will help reduce any last holograms on the super super soft jet black BMW clear.
