We Say
Pad choice is what makes or breaks a one-step polish. Too aggressive and you sacrifice finish quality; too soft and you simply don’t remove enough defects to justify skipping stages.
The Koch Chemie One Cut Pad sits right in the middle. It’s firm enough to allow meaningful correction, but refined enough to finish cleanly when paired with the right polish. The foam structure is designed to work with diminishing abrasives, maintaining consistent contact while still allowing the polish to break down properly.
Used correctly, it delivers exactly what a one-step system should — efficient correction with a finish that doesn’t need rescuing afterwards.
For us, this pad makes the most sense when used as intended: as part of Koch Chemie’s One Cut system. Paired with P6.02, it’s a reliable, repeatable setup that simply works.

Description
The Koch Chemie One Cut Foam Pad is a medium-cut polishing pad developed specifically for efficient one-step paint correction. Its foam density and cell structure are designed to balance defect removal with surface refinement, making it ideal for enhancement and single-stage correction work.
The pad maintains stable contact across the paint surface, allowing diminishing abrasives to work through their full cycle without collapsing or hopping. This results in consistent correction and a clean, high-gloss finish when used with the appropriate polish.
It’s designed to work as part of the Koch Chemie One Cut system and pairs perfectly with Koch Chemie P6.02 One Cut & Finish, where the pad and polish are matched to deliver predictable results.
As with all Koch Chemie polishing accessories, the One Cut Pad is optimised for modern clear coats and works effectively across a wide range of paint systems.

How To Use
1) Choose the correct polish: For best results, pair with Koch Chemie P6.02 One Cut & Finish.
2) Prime the pad: Apply a small amount of polish and work it into the pad surface before starting.
3) Work in sections: Use moderate pressure initially, then reduce pressure as the polish begins to refine.
4) Finish down: Complete final passes with minimal pressure to maximise gloss.
5) Clean the pad: Clean or brush out the pad regularly to maintain consistent performance.
