Koch Chemie Microcut Pad Violet Hard is a specialised foam pad developed for the professional removal of fine scratches, holograms, and polishing marks. The pad is optimised for use with Koch Chemie's Micro Cut and Micro Cut & Finish Polish products. The low height of 25 mm delivers reduced rotational forces, excellent control, and high stability throughout the entire working process.

The specially selected foam material maintains the correct hardness under pressure over extended periods, contributing to a consistent and predictable polishing result. The optimised reticulation – that is, the open cell structure – and the correct cell count promote high gloss and good hygienic properties. The pad is particularly suited to paint systems with a high solids content (high solid lacquers).

The bevelled edge gives the pad additional flexibility and facilitates adaptation to the pressings and contours of the bodywork. The coloured nonwoven layer on the polishing surface guarantees a safe and controlled polishing process. See more Koch Chemie foam pads in our range to find the right pad for every polishing stage.

What is Koch Chemie Microcut Pad Violet Hard and why choose it?

Koch Chemie Microcut Pad Violet Hard is a hard foam pad with violet colour coding, intended for correction polishing of painted surfaces. The hard cell structure means the pad works effectively against fine scratches and holograms without compromising the gloss of the final result.

Thanks to the low construction height and the bevelled edge, the pad is well suited for use with both a DA polisher and a rotary polisher. The combination of a hard foam core and the protective nonwoven layer means the pad delivers a controlled and repeatable result – session after session.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does Koch Chemie Microcut Pad Violet Hard work with compounds and polishes other than Koch Chemie's own?

Koch Chemie Microcut Pad Violet Hard is primarily optimised for Koch Chemie's own Micro Cut and Micro Cut & Finish Polish products. The pad can in practice be used with other hard Compound and Polish products from similar product categories, but the best results are achieved with the recommended Koch Chemie products, as the pad's cell structure and hardness are tailored to the viscosity and cutting ability of these compounds.

What size and height is the Koch Chemie Microcut Pad Violet Hard?

Koch Chemie Microcut Pad Violet Hard has a diameter of 76 mm and a height of 25 mm. The low height of 25 mm is a deliberate design choice – it results in lower rotational forces on the machine, better control for the operator, and increased stability during polishing work. The pad fits standard backing plates for DA polisher and rotary polisher in the 75–80 mm class.

What distinguishes Koch Chemie Microcut Pad Violet Hard from softer foam pads in Koch Chemie's range?

Koch Chemie Microcut Pad Violet Hard is constructed with a hard foam core and an open reticulated cell structure, making it suited to correction polishing – that is, the removal of fine scratches, holograms, and polishing marks. Softer foam pads in Koch Chemie's range are instead intended for finish polishing and gloss enhancement without significant paint correction. The choice of pad hardness is governed by the condition of the paint and the desired depth of correction: the more correction required, the harder the pad and Compound recommended.
