Koch Chemie Heavy Cut Foam Pad
What Is This Product?
The Koch Chemie Heavy Cut Foam Pad is a high-performance abrasive sponge engineered to eliminate severe weathering and deep scratches from automotive paint surfaces. Designed for use with heavy-cut polishing compounds like Koch Chemie Heavy Cut H9.01 or H9.02, this pad facilitates efficient and effective paint correction.
Why Should You Choose This Product?
This pad features a short height of 23mm, which minimizes torsion forces, enhancing handling and stability during polishing. Its specially formulated foam density ensures long-lasting compression hardness, maintaining consistent performance throughout extended use. The open-cell (reticulated) structure contributes to high abrasiveness and promotes cleanliness during operation.
Description:
The Heavy Cut Foam Pad is designed to work in harmony with heavy-cut compounds to restore heavily weathered paint surfaces. Its milling edge provides extra flexibility, allowing the pad to conform to complex contours with ease. The color-coded, non-woven material ensures process safety and easy identification during multi-step polishing processes.
Key Features:
- High Abrasiveness: Effectively removes deep scratches and severe paint defects.
- Optimized Thickness: The 23mm height reduces torsion forces for better control.
- Durable Foam Material: Maintains compression hardness over prolonged use.
- Reticulated Design: Open-cell structure enhances abrasiveness and hygiene.
- Flexible Edges: Milling edge design allows easy adaptation to vehicle contours.
- Color-Coded Safety: Bright, non-woven material ensures clear process identification.
Usage Instructions:
- Preparation: Ensure the vehicle surface is clean and dry before application.
- Compound Application: Apply an appropriate amount of heavy-cut compound to the pad.
- Polishing: Using a rotary or dual-action polisher, work the pad over the surface with moderate pressure in overlapping passes.
- Inspection: Periodically check the work area to assess progress and avoid over-polishing.
- Completion: After achieving the desired correction, wipe off any residue with a clean microfiber cloth.
Tips for Optimal Results:
- Pad Maintenance: Regularly clean the pad during use to prevent clogging and maintain effectiveness.
- Surface Temperature: Avoid polishing on hot surfaces or in direct sunlight to prevent premature drying of the compound.
- Test Spot: Perform a test spot to determine the appropriate combination of pad and compound for the specific paint condition.
- Follow-Up: After heavy correction, use a finer polishing pad and compound to refine the finish and enhance gloss.
