Expert Notes

Koch-Chemie Micro Cut M2.02 is a fine machine polish for paintwork that needs final refinement rather than heavy correction. It is designed to mechanically remove holograms, polishing haze, fine scratches and sanding marks from P4000 grit, making it useful after heavier cutting stages where the paint needs clarity and gloss brought back under strong lighting. The silicone-oil-free formula is important for professional finishing because it is not relying on oily masking to hide machine marks. M2.02 is especially useful on dark colours, sensitive paint and scratch-resistant paint systems where holograms can show very easily. For more correction, step up to Micro Cut M3.02, Fine Cut F6.01 or a heavier Koch-Chemie compound depending on defect level.

Paintwork preparation

  1. Wash the vehicle thoroughly.
  2. Remove bonded contamination where required.
  3. Dry the paintwork completely.
  4. Inspect holograms, fine scratches and polishing haze under suitable lighting.
  5. Correct heavier defects first if needed.
  6. Make sure the paint is cool before polishing.
  7. Shake the bottle before use.

Machine polishing

  1. Use a Koch-Chemie Micro Cut Pad.
  2. Apply Micro Cut M2.02 evenly across the pad.
  3. Spread the polish over the working area at the lowest machine speed.
  4. Polish in a crosswise pattern with medium pressure.
  5. Work until a transparent film appears.
  6. Allow the aluminium oxide abrasive to fully break down.
  7. Keep the pad moving evenly across the panel.
  8. Remove residue with a clean polish and sealing towel.
  9. Inspect the finish under strong lighting.

After polishing

  1. Do not use the same pad with other polishes or compounds.
  2. Keep Micro Cut pads separate from heavy cutting pads.
  3. Panel wipe thoroughly before applying ceramic coating.
  4. Check dark paint from multiple angles.
  5. Repeat only where fine haze or holograms remain.
  6. Store away from frost and excessive heat.

Top Tip: Use M2.02 as a final refinement polish after correction, especially on dark paint. It is for clarity, gloss and hologram removal, not heavy scratch removal.

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.
