KOCHCHEMIE Heavy Cut Pad V2 abrasive foam pad 150mm x 23mm — low torsion, long-lasting compression

The KOCHCHEMIE Heavy Cut Pad V2 is an abrasive foam polishing pad designed to remove heavy oxidation and deep scratches while maintaining low torsion and long-lasting firmness.

This 150 mm diameter, 23 mm high foam pad pairs with the Heavy Cut H9.01 abrasive to tackle severe weathering and pronounced defects on painted surfaces. The pad’s dense, open-cell foam construction is engineered to resist compression loss over extended use and to deliver consistent cutting performance. A milled edge and optimized cell structure help the pad follow contours and produce a high-reflective finish after compounding.

How does this pad reduce vibration and improve handling?

The short 23 mm profile lowers torsional forces transmitted to the backing plate, which reduces hand and machine feedback during aggressive polishing. Its compact height makes the pad more stable under pressure for controlled material removal.

• 23 mm thickness for reduced torsion and steadier rotation
• Dense foam core keeps shape under pressure for consistent cut
• Balanced weight distribution improves machine control

What makes the pad durable and long-lasting?

Manufactured from a resilient reticulated foam, the Heavy Cut Pad V2 resists permanent compression better than softer pads, so it retains cutting performance over multiple uses. The open-cell structure also sheds removed polish and debris more easily, extending usable life.

• High-density foam preserves compression hardness over time
• Reticulated cells reduce clogging and speed cleaning
• Robust milling and bonding prevent edge breakdown

Can this pad follow bodywork curves and edges effectively?

The pad’s milled edge increases flexibility at the perimeter, allowing it to adapt to complex contours and recessed areas without sacrificing cutting ability. That design helps operators access panel transitions and rounded surfaces with fewer passes.

• Milled outer rim conforms to curves and trim lines
• Short profile improves contact on angled surfaces
• Compatible with dual-action and rotary polishers for versatile use

What finish can I expect after using it with Heavy Cut H9.01?

When paired with a suitable abrasive like the Heavy Cut H9.01, the pad removes heavy defects while still allowing subsequent polishing steps to reveal gloss. The optimized cell count helps create a smooth surface that’s ready for refinement with medium or fine finishing pads.

• Strong cutting power for oxidation and deep scratches
• Produces a prepared surface for follow-up finishing stages
• Open-cell foam contributes to higher final shine after refinement

Who is this for: The KOCHCHEMIE Heavy Cut Pad V2 is built for professional detailers, body shop technicians, and serious car enthusiasts who need a reliable, heavy-duty abrasive pad for restoring weathered paint and eliminating deep defects. It’s ideal for users who demand consistent cutting, low vibration during aggressive compounding, and a pad that maintains shape and performance over repeated jobs.
