The Koch Chemie Heavy Cut Pad is a hard foam pad developed to effectively work heavily weathered paint surfaces and remove deep paint defects. The pad is used in conjunction with the Heavy Cut H9.01 compound and is engineered for professional use in demanding reconditioning work.

The pad's low height of 23 mm reduces deforming forces against the substrate, providing stable and controlled polishing. The foam structure with increased material density ensures the pad retains its hardness even during extended use.

The net-like structure with the correct porosity contributes to increased durability and makes cleaning the pad between passes easier. See more Koch Chemie products for professional paint care in our range.

What is the Koch Chemie Heavy Cut Pad and why choose it?

The Koch Chemie Heavy Cut Pad is a hard foam pad constructed specifically for the compound phase on paint surfaces with deep scratches, oxidation, or severe weather damage. Thanks to the high material density and hardness rating of 17, the pad delivers sufficient force to break down aggressive compounds effectively against the paint surface.

The bevelled edges improve the pad's flexibility and adaptability on curved body panels, reducing the risk of uneven polishing results. The colour coding is matched to Koch Chemie's compound system, making it straightforward for the detailer to select the correct pad and product combination.

Where is this product suitable?

• Reconditioning workshops and professional detailing studios
• Car care businesses with high vehicle throughput
• Detailing enthusiasts experienced in machine polishing
• Work with a DA polisher and rotary polisher
• Treatment of paint surfaces with deep scratches, oxidation, or severe dullness

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does the Koch Chemie Heavy Cut Pad 126mm work with compounds other than Heavy Cut H9.01?

The Koch Chemie Heavy Cut Pad is primarily developed for use with Koch Chemie's own compound Heavy Cut H9.01, and the colour coding is matched to this system. In practice, the pad can be used with other aggressive compounds of a similar type, but for guaranteed optimum results the combination with Heavy Cut H9.01 is recommended in accordance with Koch Chemie's guidelines.

What are the dimensions and technical ratings of the Koch Chemie Heavy Cut Pad 126mm?

The Koch Chemie Heavy Cut Pad has a diameter of 126 mm and a height of 23 mm. The hardness rating is 17 and the durability is stated as 9. The low height of 23 mm is intentional – it reduces deforming forces against the paint surface and gives the detailer better control during machine polishing.

What distinguishes the Koch Chemie Heavy Cut Pad 126mm from softer pads in the same range?

The Koch Chemie Heavy Cut Pad is constructed with a high material density and a hardness rating of 17, making it suited to the most aggressive phase of a polishing process – the removal of deep scratches, oxidation, and severe paint defects. Softer pads in Koch Chemie's range are intended for finish polishing and gloss enhancement, where less abrasiveness is required. The Heavy Cut Pad is therefore used at an earlier stage in the polishing process and is paired with an aggressive compound, whilst finish pads are used in the final stage with a finer polish.
