💎 Bring Damaged Paintwork Back to Life

Over time, even carefully maintained vehicles can develop paintwork imperfections.

Incorrect washing, automatic car washes, poor drying techniques and general wear can leave visible swirl marks and scratches.

These imperfections scatter light, reducing the depth, clarity and gloss of your paintwork.

Koch-Chemie H8.02 Heavy Cut uses powerful abrasives to correct suitable clear-coat defects, helping restore a smoother, clearer and more reflective appearance.

It’s particularly effective for:

• Heavy swirl marks
• Moderate clear-coat scratches
• Suitable sanding marks
• Dull and weathered paintwork
• Correctable polishing defects
• Neglected paintwork requiring heavy correction

The result? Significantly improved paintwork clarity, reduced visible defects and a finish ready for further refinement and protection.

Results depend on paint condition, clear-coat thickness, machine, polishing pad and technique. Scratches that penetrate through the clear coat cannot safely be polished away.

🔴 Heavy Cut Performance – 8.5/10

Koch-Chemie’s professional polishing system uses cutting and gloss ratings to help you select the correct compound.

Cutting Power: 8.5/10

Excellent for more demanding paint correction work where a lighter compound may not provide sufficient defect removal.

Gloss Rating: 5/10

Provides a useful level of gloss during correction, although additional refinement may be necessary to achieve the highest-quality finish.

🏆 The Perfect First Stage in Paint Correction

For heavily damaged paintwork, a multi-stage polishing process often delivers the best results.

Stage 1 – Heavy Correction

Koch-Chemie H8.02 Heavy Cut removes suitable deeper defects and heavy swirl marks.

Stage 2 – Fine Correction

Koch-Chemie F6.01 Fine Cut helps refine the finish and remove haze remaining after heavy correction.

Stage 3 – Final Finishing

Koch-Chemie M3.02 Micro Cut can be used to achieve additional clarity, reflections and gloss.

Not every vehicle requires all three stages. Always choose the least aggressive combination capable of achieving the required correction.

🧽 How to Use Koch-Chemie H8.02

1. Wash the Vehicle

Thoroughly clean the paintwork using suitable pre-wash and contact-wash products.

2. Decontaminate the Paintwork

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

3. Inspect the Paintwork

Check the condition of the paint and perform a test spot before proceeding.

4. Select the Correct Pad

Pair H8.02 with a suitable heavy-cut foam or wool polishing pad, depending on the paint condition and machine.

5. Apply the Compound

Shake the bottle and apply a suitable amount to your polishing pad.

6. Machine Polish

Work on a manageable section using appropriate machine speed, pressure and polishing technique.

7. Remove Residue

Wipe away polishing residue using a clean, soft microfibre cloth.

8. Inspect Your Results

Check the finish under suitable lighting.

9. Refine the Paintwork

If necessary, follow with Koch-Chemie F6.01 Fine Cut or M3.02 Micro Cut.

10. Apply Protection

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

Professional Tip: Always carry out a test spot and start with the least aggressive polishing combination that achieves the desired results.

Important: Heavy-cut machine polishing removes a small amount of clear coat. Incorrect use can permanently damage paintwork. This product is best suited to users with appropriate machine-polishing experience.
