I use 85RD..but i also do not own 87MC...i dont feel the need to try anything else if that helps :shead:
In my experience the ceramic line may cut a little more but finish down better. Like SIP vs IP so I would imagine 85rd would be the same? Maybe 85rd has a little more cut than 87mc but finishes down better than 87mc. :shrug:
I have used both recently with the same red ccs finishing pad. IMHO 87mc is a finer polish and works wetter than 85rd. 87mc has less cut than 85 because its meant more for older paints as I was told by members of this forums actually when I asked the same question. 85rd has a little more cut but is still a very fine polish, I would use it on harder cc's which need more bite to finish out properly. I couldnt really tell a difference in the final finish between the two.
PO87MF/MC is a great product and so is85RD, It's a chocolate coloured polish and is very wet/oily and goes on like butter I use it after 85RD and by hand. the clarity, wetness, depth and colour shade improvement is amazing
Like most of you I like to try different waxes and sealants. To get the true results of a certain wax or sealant I like to start with a clean slate. I normally just use a paint cleaner before sealing/waxing, but there are times when I discover some minor marring and I want to use a polish with the least amout of cut. 87mc fits that need perfectly.
