Any Menzerna zealots here (need help sourcing 85RD)

Hi all!
I'm new here, but not a n00b! I'm trying to find a source for a specific Menzerna polish. It's PO85RD, however there are various formulations of this polish. The one I'm looking for is 22992. Does anybody know a good source for this stuff? Maybe you read about it on another detailing forum?

I've contacted Merzerna USA, and they no longer carry it (he said it's been discontinued). In addition, I don't think it was ever imported to the US. I found one supplier in the UK, but he's not returning my emails anymore. Seems I'm on the hunt for a non-US supplier with old stock lying around. It's a long shot but I thought I would ask here in case any of you know any suppliers abroad that sell Menzerna.

For those that are curious...it's a very very fine polish with a very high luster. It can be used following intensive polish or final polish to bring out a very liquid-like shine.

It's hard to find since they don't make it any more. Why not go with PO106FF? More cut, same finish.

I'm not looking for more cut...I'm looking for less...something that can bring out a really deep shine on paint that is already in good condition. If all else fails, the 106FF is what I'll end up with, and that's readily available, but I'd like to get my hands on the 85RD if at all possible.

OK, just a suggestion; they finish virtually identical to eachother.

Thanks for that! I think I'm going to call and order up the 106FF today. I'm throwing in the towel on the 85RD.

Ya, it's a bummer. I saw you posting over at Audiworld too; I was going to chime in but ya.. I've been looking for 85 forever but really when push comes to shove 106ff finishes down the same. I finish with it on almost every car I do.
