The edge with Ultrafina is simply its ease of use. Even though the finish isn't quite what you can get with the 85RD, it is such a pleasure to work with that I find myself grabbing it over the Menz almost every time.

As for its finishing abilities, you can go from 105 to UF without any issues as long as you finish down the 105 correctly. I did a SS 88 930T yesterday that finished so great with 105 I almost didn't even need UF.

That's been my experience, too, Fluxy. UF will clean up after compounding just as well as 106, but finishes out just a bit better. 85RD, OTOH, has no game at all for cleaning up after compounding, but is a *great* gloss polish. Just general rules, of course. On softer paints, 85RD can do some clean up, but not much.

Just be careful with 106. Do your wipe downs.

Oh, yeah, very good point. 106 and 85rd really like to conceal stuff.

You just never know when I'll show up out of the wood work. I've been lurking on and off since the board started last summer, but I figured I was enough of a loud mouth on Autopia that I wouldn't bother you guys here.

Your posts are well thought out and very helpful. I doubt anyone would be bothered by you here.
