The Koch Chemie One Cut Pad is a medium-hardness Foam Pad with a diameter of 126 mm, developed to remove moderate scratches and treat moderately weathered paint surfaces. The pad is designed for use with the Polish One Cut and Finish P6.01 and delivers a stable, controllable polishing result.
With a height of 23 mm, the pad reduces deforming forces against the surface, contributing to a more even finish. The high-density foam structure ensures the pad retains its shape and hardness even during extended use.
The mesh-like structure and porosity improve durability and ease of cleaning, whilst the bevelled edges increase flexibility and adaptability on curved surfaces. See more Koch Chemie pads and accessories in our range.
What is a Foam Pad and why choose the Koch Chemie One Cut Pad?
A Foam Pad is a foam-based polishing tool that mounts on a DA polisher or rotary machine and is used to apply and work Polish into the paint surface. The Koch Chemie One Cut Pad is specifically developed for medium-cut polishing, meaning it is suited to surfaces with visible scratches and oxidation that require more correction than a finish pad can achieve, yet without being as aggressive as a heavy-cut Compound pad.
Thanks to the high-density foam structure and bevelled edges, the pad offers a combination of efficiency and control that is well suited to professional use in reconditioning workshops and detailing studios.
Where is this product suitable?
- Reconditioning workshops and car care businesses with daily machine polishing
- Detailing studios working on paint restoration
- Hobby users with a DA polisher seeking professional results
- Treatment of moderately weathered paint on passenger cars and light vehicles
- Surfaces with moderate scratches, swirls, and oxidation

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does the Koch Chemie One Cut Pad 126mm remove deeper scratches from paint?
The Koch Chemie One Cut Pad is developed for medium-cut polishing and is effective against moderate scratches and oxidation. For deeper scratches requiring more aggressive correction, a harder Compound pad is recommended. The Koch Chemie One Cut Pad has a hardness of 12 and a cutting ability of 5, making it suited to moderately weathered surfaces rather than heavily damaged paint. See other polishing pads in our range to find the right hardness level.
What are the dimensions and specifications of the Koch Chemie One Cut Pad?
The Koch Chemie One Cut Pad has a diameter of 126 mm and a height of 23 mm. The hardness value is 12 and the cutting ability is 5. The foam structure is high density with a mesh-like, porous construction and bevelled edges for increased flexibility on curved surfaces. The pad is designed for use with the Polish One Cut and Finish P6.01.
What distinguishes the Koch Chemie One Cut Pad from a softer finish pad?
The Koch Chemie One Cut Pad is a medium-cut Foam Pad with a hardness of 12 and a cutting ability of 5, meaning it is constructed to actively work and remove scratches and oxidation from the paint surface. A softer finish pad has a lower cutting ability and is used primarily to apply and buff Polish or Coating without working the paint significantly. The Koch Chemie One Cut Pad therefore serves as a step in a multi-stage polishing process, before a finish pad is used for the final result.
