💎 Restore Your Paintwork’s Original Shine

Over time, even well-maintained vehicles can develop swirl marks, fine scratches and dull-looking paintwork.

These imperfections are often caused by:

• Incorrect washing techniques
• Automatic car washes
• Dirty wash mitts and drying towels
• Everyday wear and tear
• Previous polishing marks
• General surface abrasion

Although waxes and glazes may temporarily disguise some defects, machine polishing works by refining the paint surface to reduce suitable imperfections.

Koch-Chemie F6.01 Fine Cut uses carefully selected abrasives to remove a controlled amount of material, helping restore clarity and gloss.

The result is smoother-looking paintwork with improved reflections and a cleaner, more vibrant appearance.

 

🔧 Cutting Power 6/10 – Gloss Rating 7/10

Koch-Chemie’s polishing system makes it easier to select the right compound for your paintwork.

F6.01 Fine Cut offers:

CUT: 6/10

A useful level of correction for suitable swirl marks, polishing defects and light to moderate scratches.

GLOSS: 7/10

Excellent finishing performance, producing a refined, glossy appearance.

This balance makes F6.01 particularly useful for paint enhancement and intermediate polishing stages.

On suitable paintwork, it may also provide a sufficiently refined finish without requiring an additional polishing stage.

The final result depends on paint hardness, defect severity, machine choice, polishing pad and technique.

 

🧽 How to Use Koch-Chemie F6.01 Fine Cut

Step 1 – Wash the Vehicle

Thoroughly wash the vehicle using a quality car shampoo to remove dirt, road grime and loose contamination.

Step 2 – Decontaminate the Paintwork

Remove bonded contamination using suitable tar remover, iron fallout remover and clay treatment where necessary.

Step 3 – Inspect the Paintwork

Assess the paintwork condition and perform a small test spot to determine the correct polishing combination.

Step 4 – Select Your Polishing Pad

Choose a compatible medium-cut polishing pad suitable for the paintwork and required level of correction.

Step 5 – Apply F6.01

Shake the bottle thoroughly and apply a small amount of polish to the pad.

Step 6 – Machine Polish

Work a manageable section at a time using a suitable rotary or dual-action polishing machine.

Use appropriate speed, pressure and working technique in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Step 7 – Remove Polish Residue

Carefully wipe away the remaining polish using a clean, soft microfibre cloth.

Step 8 – Inspect the Finish

Check the paintwork under suitable lighting to assess defect removal and gloss.

Step 9 – Refine if Required

For maximum gloss, particularly on darker or softer paintwork, follow with a suitable finishing polish such as Koch-Chemie M3.02 Micro Cut.

Step 10 – Protect the Paintwork

Once polishing is complete, prepare the surface as required and apply your chosen wax, sealant or ceramic coating.

Professional Tip: Always start with the least aggressive pad and compound combination capable of achieving the desired correction.

Important: Machine polishing removes a small amount of paint or clear coat. Avoid excessive polishing, particularly on thin, damaged or previously repaired paintwork.
