The Koch Chemie Fine Cut Pad is a medium-hard foam pad with a 150 mm diameter, designed to remove moderate scratches and treat moderately weathered paint surfaces. The pad works particularly well in combination with the Fine Cut F6.01 polish for a controlled and effective polishing result.
Thanks to a height of 23 mm, deforming forces are absorbed during use, providing a stable and even contact surface against the paintwork. The net-like foam structure with increased material density contributes to high durability and maintained hardness even during extended use.
The bevelled edges allow the Fine Cut Pad to conform more readily to the curves and edges of the bodywork, reducing the risk of uneven polishing. See more Koch Chemie products for professional paint care in our range.
What is the Fine Cut Pad and why choose it?
The Koch Chemie Fine Cut Pad is a medium-hard foam pad constructed to handle paint surfaces with moderate oxidation, moderate scratches, and polishing defects. With a hardness rating of 12 and a cutting ability of 5, the pad sits in the mid-range segment – aggressive enough for correction work, yet controlled enough to avoid excessive paint removal.
The increased material density of the foam structure ensures that the pad retains its shape and performance throughout the entire working session, which is essential for consistent results in professional settings.
