We Say
Remove swirls, restore that brilliant shine and protect your paintwork in one simple polishing step.
There's nothing quite like the shine of freshly polished paintwork. Even a well-maintained car can gradually lose some of its sparkle through everyday driving, washing and exposure to the elements. Thankfully, you don't always need an expensive polishing machine or an elaborate detailing routine to bring back that glossy, freshly detailed appearance.
Koch-Chemie THE FINISHER ShineSpeedPolish is designed to make looking after your paintwork refreshingly simple. It combines gloss enhancement and protection in one easy application, helping keep painted surfaces looking bright, glossy and well cared for.
What makes ShineSpeedPolish particularly appealing is that you can use it by hand or with a polishing machine. If you enjoy spending a little time detailing your car at the weekend, a soft foam applicator is all you need. If you prefer working with a dual-action polisher, the product can also be applied using a suitable soft finishing pad.
Unlike PowerSpeedPolish, which is designed to tackle moderate scratches, polishing haze and holograms, ShineSpeedPolish is more about enhancing the appearance of paintwork that's already in reasonable condition. It's a useful distinction, because not every car needs aggressive paint correction. Sometimes all you want is to bring out the shine and add a little protection.
We particularly like the idea of combining those benefits into a single product. Rather than polishing the paintwork and then immediately reaching for another bottle to apply protection, ShineSpeedPolish cares for the surface while adding a protective effect against everyday environmental influences. It's a straightforward approach that's ideal for enthusiasts who want good results without unnecessary extra stages.
Application is equally uncomplicated. Simply shake the bottle, apply a thin, even layer using a soft sponge or suitable machine polishing pad, and allow the product to dry briefly. Once ready, buff away the residue with a clean microfibre towel to reveal a lovely high-gloss finish.
As with any polish, good preparation makes a difference. We'd recommend washing and drying the vehicle thoroughly before application, removing any stubborn contamination that might otherwise become trapped beneath the applicator. Always work on cool paintwork and avoid direct sunlight, as this makes application and residue removal much easier.
It's also worth being realistic about what a product like this can achieve. If your paintwork is covered in noticeable swirl marks or deeper scratches, you'll get better results by correcting those imperfections with a dedicated machine polish first. ShineSpeedPolish is best suited to maintaining and improving the appearance of reasonably good paintwork, not replacing a full paint correction process.
For us, THE FINISHER ShineSpeedPolish is a great option for anyone who loves the look of freshly polished paint but doesn't want to make the process complicated. It's easy to apply, suitable for hand or machine use, and combines a beautiful glossy finish with useful protection. Sometimes keeping your car looking its best really can be that straightforward.

How To Use
1) Wash and dry the vehicle:
Thoroughly wash the vehicle to remove dirt and road grime before polishing. Dry the paintwork completely and remove bonded contamination where necessary.
2) Prepare the paintwork:
Make sure the paintwork is cool and the vehicle is parked away from direct sunlight. Check that the surface is suitable for polishing and test an inconspicuous area before proceeding.
3) Shake the bottle:
Shake ShineSpeedPolish briefly before application to ensure the product is ready to use.
4) Choose your application method:
For hand application, use a clean, soft foam sponge. For machine application, fit a compatible soft finishing pad, such as the Koch-Chemie Polish & Sealing Foam Pad, to a suitable orbital polishing machine.
5) Apply a thin layer:
Place a small amount of ShineSpeedPolish onto the applicator or pad and spread it evenly over a manageable area of paintwork. Use gentle, controlled movements and avoid applying excessive product.
6) Allow to dry briefly:
Following Koch-Chemie's instructions, allow the applied product to dry briefly before removing the remaining residue. Avoid leaving the product on the surface for longer than necessary.
7) Buff to a high gloss:
Using a clean, soft microfibre towel, gently buff away the dried residue to reveal a brilliant high-gloss finish. Koch-Chemie recommends its Polish & Sealing Towel for this stage.
8) Inspect and repeat:
Check the finish for remaining residue or uneven coverage. Continue around the vehicle, working one section at a time and using a clean towel as required.
