Expert Notes

Koch-Chemie Headlight Polish 2 is the finishing stage in Koch-Chemie’s headlight restoration system. After the heavier defect removal work has been completed with sanding and Headlight Polish 1, Polish 2 refines the PMMA lens surface to restore gloss, clarity and transparency. It is designed to remove finer sanding marks from P2000 grit and leave a simultaneous sealing effect, making it a more specialised headlight product than a general finishing polish. Use it with a rotary polisher and One Step Pad at medium speed and pressure, keeping heat under control because plastic headlight lenses are temperature sensitive. For best results, protect the restored lens afterwards where longer-term UV resistance is required.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • PMMA headlights
  • Plastic headlight lenses
  • Car headlights
  • Truck headlights
  • Motorcycle headlights
  • Yellowed headlight lenses
  • Weathered headlight lenses
  • Sanded headlight lenses
  • Oxidised plastic lenses

Caution: Do not use on hot surfaces. Designed for PMMA plastic headlights only, not glass, paintwork, interior plastics, screens or general trim. Mask surrounding paintwork, grilles, rubber and plastic trim before machine polishing.

How To Use

Headlight preparation

  1. Clean the headlight before polishing.
  2. Mask surrounding paintwork, bumper edges, grilles and trim.
  3. Complete sanding stages where required.
  4. Use Headlight Polish 1 first if heavy oxidation or P1000 sanding marks need removing.
  5. Wipe away all cutting residue before finishing.
  6. Check the lens is cool before applying Headlight Polish 2.

Machine polishing

  1. Apply Headlight Polish 2 to a Koch-Chemie One Step Pad.
  2. Spread the polish across the lens before increasing speed.
  3. Polish in a crosswise motion using a rotary polisher.
  4. Use medium speed and medium pressure.
  5. Keep the pad moving to control heat.
  6. Continue until the lens becomes clear and glossy.
  7. Remove residue with a clean microfibre cloth.
  8. Inspect the lens for remaining haze or sanding marks.

After polishing

  1. Check the headlight in good lighting.
  2. Repeat the finishing stage only where required.
  3. Remove all polish residue from edges and trim.
  4. Apply a suitable headlight protection product if longer-term UV resistance is required.
  5. Allow any protection product to cure as directed.

Top Tip: Use Headlight Polish 2 after the cutting stage, not before it. It is designed to refine pre-treated PMMA lenses and restore gloss after sanding or Headlight Polish 1.

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

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

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.
