Expert Notes

Koch-Chemie Orange Power is a specialist solvent-based remover for contamination that normal shampoo, APC or clay should not be expected to handle. It is particularly useful for adhesive residue from labels and badges, tree resin, rubber marks, tar, oil, grease, ink stains and chewing gum on solvent-resistant surfaces. The natural orange extract base gives it strong dissolving performance with a slower evaporation rate than faster flashing solvent removers, giving more working time on stubborn residue. It should still be treated as a chemical remover, not a general cleaner. Use it only on compatible surfaces, keep application controlled, avoid sensitive plastics and trim, and always test before full use.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Solvent-resistant paintwork
  • Glass
  • Ceramic surfaces
  • Metal surfaces
  • Exterior glass
  • Badge adhesive residue
  • Label adhesive residue
  • Tree resin contamination
  • Tar spots
  • Rubber transfer marks

Caution: Check for slight colour loss or material compatibility before use. Use only on solvent-resistant surfaces. Avoid polycarbonate, acrylic, clear plastics, textured plastics, rubber trim, sensitive trim, fresh paint, matte paint, satin paint, vinyl wraps, PPF edges, headlight lenses and unknown materials unless suitability has been confirmed.

How To Use

Compatibility check

  1. Make sure the surface is cool.
  2. Check that the surface is solvent-resistant.
  3. Test on a hidden area before full use.
  4. Do not use on sensitive plastics or trim.
  5. Do not work in direct sunlight.
  6. Use controlled application rather than soaking the area.

Cloth application

  1. Apply Orange Power undiluted to a dry absorbent cloth.
  2. Rub the affected area gently.
  3. Allow the product to soften the residue.
  4. Wipe away the dissolved contamination.
  5. Repeat carefully where residue remains.
  6. Clean the area afterwards with a suitable shampoo or surface cleaner.

Spray application

  1. Spray Orange Power directly onto compatible contamination.
  2. Leave to act for 1 to 3 minutes.
  3. Do not allow the product to dry.
  4. Wipe off residue with a clean cloth.
  5. For suitable exterior areas, steam off or rinse using a high-pressure device.
  6. Inspect the surface once clean.

After use

  1. Remove any remaining solvent residue.
  2. Wash or wipe the treated area if required.
  3. Check panel gaps and trim edges for trapped product.
  4. Apply protection afterwards if the surface protection has been affected.

Top Tip: Apply Orange Power to the cloth first when working near trims, badges, wrap edges or sensitive areas. This gives better control and reduces unnecessary solvent contact.

Performance Benefits

  • Softens adhesive residue
  • Breaks down sticky contamination
  • Removes tree resin deposits
  • Useful after badge removal

The Brand

Koch-Chemie

Koch-Chemie (often written Koch Chemie) is a German car care maker from Unna. Hans Koch, a trained carpenter unhappy with the vehicle care products of the time, began mixing his own polishes in his garage in 1968 and founded Koch-Chemie GmbH. The company moved to its Unna headquarters in 1971, developed its Star range in 1990, and has been part of the French Novarc Group since June 2017. It is one of the few companies in the trade that researches, produces and sells its own products, with development and production in Unna, and many of its products are tested and approved by car manufacturers.

At The Drivers HQ we stock Koch-Chemie online with UK delivery and in our Ilkeston shop. Our customers' favourites are Green Star, Gentle Snow Foam, Pol Star, Micro Cut M3.02 and One Cut & Finish P6.02.

Koch-Chemie products by job

Pre-wash and wash. Gentle Snow Foam is a pH-neutral, cherry-scented foam that does not attack waxed or sealed paint. Use about 20ml per litre of water in a foam sprayer, or 50ml in 10 litres as a hand-wash shampoo, and add 10 to 30ml of Green Star to the mix for an active foam on stubborn dirt and insects. Green Star is the alkaline universal cleaner: 1:5 to 1:30 for exteriors and engines, 1:10 to 1:20 for interiors and textiles. Never let it dry or use it on hot panels. Active Foam, Autoshampoo and Ceramic Effect Shampoo complete the wash range, and Magic Wheel Cleaner is the wheel cleaner.

Decontamination and preparation. Eulex and Eulex M remove adhesive and stains, Orange Power lifts adhesive, tree resin and rubber marks, and Panel Preparation Spray cleans the paint before polishing or coating.

Machine polishing. Koch-Chemie gives its machine polishes a cut and gloss rating, and Heavy Cut H9.02, Fine Cut F6.01 and Micro Cut M3.02 are silicone-oil-free. Heavy Cut H9.02 (cut 9.0, gloss 6.0) takes out deep scratches and sanding marks up to 1,200 grit, Fine Cut F6.01 (cut 6.0, gloss 7.0) removes wash marks and 2500-grade sanding marks, and Micro Cut M3.02 (cut 3.2, gloss 9.0) removes holograms, fine scratches and P3000 sanding marks for the final gloss. One Cut & Finish P6.02 (cut 6.0, gloss 8.0) corrects and seals in one step. We also stock Heavy Cut H8.02, Heavy Quick Cut B9.01, Micro Cut M2.02, Micro Cut & Finish P3.01 and the P1.03 and P2.03 finish polishes, plus Headlight Polish 1 and 2 for clouded lenses.

Gloss and protection. ProtectorWax, QF Quick Finish, Quick & Shine and Finish Spray Exterior keep the gloss up between details, and the Coating Towel 5 Pack wipes off residue.

Interior, plastics and glass. Pol Star cleans textiles, leather and Alcantara, COLOURLOCK Leather Care looks after leather, and Allround Surface Cleaner and MZR clean hard interior surfaces. Plast Star is a silicone-free plastic care, alongside Gummifix, Motorplast and Hydro Plast Care. Glas Star and Glass Cleaner Pro clean glass, and Fresh Up tackles odours.

Shop Koch-Chemie by type: snow foam, all purpose cleaners, heavy cut compounds, finishing polishes, quick detailers and glass cleaners.

Choosing a Koch-Chemie polish

Koch-Chemie rates its machine polishes for cut (how much they remove) and gloss (how much shine they leave), so you can pick the stage that matches the paint.

  • Heavy Cut H9.02 (cut 9.0, gloss 6.0) is the first stage on heavily weathered paint, deep scratches and sanding marks up to 1,200 grit. It suits soft and scratch-resistant paint. Koch-Chemie recommends a rotary polisher at medium speed and pressure, then a finishing stage with Micro Cut M3.02 or Micro Cut & Finish P3.01.
  • Fine Cut F6.01 (cut 6.0, gloss 7.0) is the middle stage for medium to heavily weathered paint and wash marks, at no more than 2,000rpm. Remove any streaks it leaves with Micro Cut M3.02.
  • Micro Cut M3.02 (cut 3.2, gloss 9.0) is the finishing polish. It removes holograms and fine scratches rather than filling them, which makes it the one to finish dark and sensitive colours.
  • One Cut & Finish P6.02 (cut 6.0, gloss 8.0) corrects and seals in one step, with carnauba wax, on a dual action polisher with at least a 15mm stroke: five pea-sized drops on the pad. Keep it off painted plastics and rubber.

Use a separate pad for each polish, keep off hot panels and store polishes away from frost and heat. For the pads and machines, see our polishing pads and polishing machines.
