Expert Notes

Koch-Chemie Coating Towels are built for the wipe-off stage of coating and sealant work, where control matters more than towel thickness. The 40x40cm size is easy to fold into quarters, giving multiple clean working faces while keeping the towel manageable around panel edges, handles and tighter sections. The 300gsm warp-knitted microfibre gives a flatter, more direct feel than a plush drying towel, which is useful when removing excess sealant residue or levelling coating high spots. The ultrasonic edge removes the need for a stitched border, reducing unnecessary drag during finishing work. These towels should be kept as coating towels only, especially once they have been used with ceramic products.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Final wipe stages
  • Ceramic sealants
  • Coating residue
  • Sealant buffing stages
  • Gloss painted panels
  • Polished paintwork

Caution: Inspect each towel before use. Do not use if it has been dropped, contaminated, heavily loaded with dried product or has hardened coating residue in the fibres. Keep coating towels separate from wheels, engine bays, interiors and general cleaning towels.

How To Use

Before use

  1. Make sure the towel is clean and dry.
  2. Inspect the fibres for grit or hardened residue.
  3. Fold the towel into quarters.
  4. Keep unused towels away from polish dust and overspray.
  5. Use a fresh towel for coating and sealant work.

Removing sealant or coating residue

  1. Apply the sealant or coating according to the product instructions.
  2. Allow the product to flash or haze as required.
  3. Wipe the surface using light even pressure.
  4. Turn the towel to a clean face regularly.
  5. Switch to a fresh towel once the first towel feels loaded.
  6. Inspect the panel under suitable lighting.
  7. Complete a final wipe if residue remains.

After use

  1. Separate used coating towels from general microfibres.
  2. Do not mix them with wheel or engine bay towels.
  3. Wash before reuse where suitable.
  4. Do not use fabric softener.
  5. Allow towels to dry fully before storage.
  6. Check for hardened product before using again on paintwork.

Top Tip: Use more towels than you think during coating work. A loaded towel can smear residue instead of removing it cleanly.

Performance Benefits

  • Levels coating residue cleanly
  • Buffs sealing products effectively
  • Gives controlled towel feedback
  • Reduces bulky towel drag
  • Supports cleaner final inspection

The Brand

Koch-Chemie

Koch-Chemie began in Germany in 1968 when trained carpenter Hans Koch started developing his own polishing compounds after becoming dissatisfied with the vehicle care products available at the time. His interest in surface finishing became the foundation of the company, with the first Koch-Chemie products moving into serial production during the 1970s. The business has remained based in Unna, Germany since 1971 and has expanded from polishing into vehicle cleaning, preparation, car wash chemistry, workshop products and industrial cleaning.

That history still shows clearly in Koch-Chemie's paint correction range. Heavy Cut, Fine Cut and Micro Cut compounds are designed as defined stages of correction and refinement, supported by corresponding pads and preparation products rather than being treated as isolated bottles of polish.

A Detailing Range Built as a System

Koch-Chemie approaches vehicle care as a complete chemical and process system. Its detailing catalogue covers pre-cleaners, wheel cleaners, foams, shampoos, fallout and tar removal, polishing compounds, sealants, interior cleaners, glass products and specialist treatments. Familiar products including Green Star, Pol Star, Heavy Cut H9.02, Fine Cut F6.01 and Micro Cut M3.02 each occupy a specific position within that process.

The company's ProductSystem takes this further by dividing its chemistry into ten application groups with individual colour codes. Product abbreviations and technical information are incorporated into the labelling so that users can identify what a product is designed to do and where it belongs within the wider system. This structured approach is one of the most identifiable characteristics of Koch-Chemie.

Developed and Produced in Unna

Koch-Chemie operates its own research and development department at its site in Unna, Germany. Formulations are tested for measurable properties including durability, gloss and hydrophobic behaviour, with development also taking material compatibility, regional conditions and professional working processes into account. The company works directly with the automotive industry, car wash operators and industrial customers when developing and refining its chemistry.

Production is also carried out in Unna, where Koch-Chemie mixes its formulations, fills and labels containers and distributes finished products. Its production operation works within DIN EN ISO 9001 quality management and DIN EN ISO 14001 environmental management systems. This combination of in-house development, manufacturing and a clearly defined product system is a substantial part of what separates Koch-Chemie from brands that primarily source and market third-party formulations.
