Default Menzerna question

I have two finishing polishes from Menzerna, 106 and 085rd.
What are the differences, if any?
Pouring rain tomorrow will bring out the PC 7424 for a little shine action.

Thanks, I just finished the hood and fenders with the 106 super finish.
All I can say is "Wow" as to the results. Its so easy to do and makes the clearcoat on the black just pop. I topped it with Pinnacle souveran liquid and couldnt be happier with the appearance.

Menzerna makes three ceramiclear polishes which were designed for ceramic based clearcoats used with Maybach, Mercedes, and BMW. SIP was most abrasive, 106FF and 106FA came next (lighter), and 085rd was the finishing polish. They all finish down to almost the same gloss rating and use diminishing abrasives which break down over the polishing cycle.
