Default 85 RD to lsp?

It's my first time using Menz 85rd ,my question is Can I use 85rd (with a rotary)and then go straight to lsp?or do I need to use something else in between like 106 ff.
Thanks for your help.
Ken.

PO85RD is one of the nicest finishing polishes I ever used and is even less abrasive than 106FF.

Your "skills" with a rotary will determine if you can. Also some paints are harder to finish out with a rotary then others. BMW jet black can be a PITA.

Just make sure that your last 2 passes are at 800-1000rpm with just the weight of the machine.

If all other paint correction is completed before 85rd is done you go to your lsp after 85rd.

I agree 85RD is a great product and I agree you shouldn't really have to follow up 85RD with anything.
