Finishing Precision
Stable application where it counts
At just 25mm tall, this pad keeps torsion forces low so your sealant goes on evenly without the pad wandering or loading unevenly. The open-cell foam structure picks up and releases product consistently, pass after pass.
Why This Pad
Designed for the finishing stage
Every detail in the design supports controlled, clean sealant application.
-
Low Torsion Design
The 25mm height keeps the pad stable under the machine, giving you consistent pressure across the full face.
-
Open-Cell Structure
Optimised reticulation spreads product evenly and makes the pad easy to rinse clean between sessions.
-
Milled Edge Flexibility
The chamfered perimeter flexes around curves, bumpers and edges so you never miss coverage on contoured panels.
-
Process Safety
The colour-coded non-woven face lets you identify this finishing pad instantly in a multi-pad workflow.
How It Compares
Koch-Chemie finishing pad vs. a generic foam finishing pad
Not all finishing pads are built the same. Here is how the Koch-Chemie Polish & Sealing Foam Pad stacks up against a typical unbranded foam finishing pad.
| Feature | DetailerSA | Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Milled edge for contour flex | Yes | No |
| Optimised open-cell reticulation | Yes | No |
| 25mm low-torsion height | Yes | No |
| Colour-coded for process safety | Yes | Yes |
| Compatible with DA and rotary machines | Yes | Yes |
| Suitable for paint correction | No | No |
Built for Real Panels
Flex around every contour
The milled edge lets the pad hug bumpers, arches and door shuts without lifting - the kind of detail that matters when you are working a full vehicle rather than a flat test panel. The colour-coded non-woven face also keeps your finishing pad clearly separate from your cutting pads in a busy bay.

Questions
Frequently asked
What products is this pad designed to work with?
It is designed for sealing products and light polishes. Koch-Chemie specifically mentions the 1K Nano sealant and Lack-Polish grün as compatible products, but any light finishing polish or liquid sealant with similar viscosity will suit this pad well.
Does this pad cut swirls or correct paintwork?
No. This is an extra-fine finishing pad. It does not carry enough cutting ability to remove swirl marks or deeper scratches. Use it after your correction steps, for the final sealant or finishing polish application.
What machine polishers is it compatible with?
The pad's 25mm height and low torsion design make it suitable for both dual-action and rotary polishers. The milled edge helps it conform to the backing plate and panel contours regardless of the machine type. Always match the pad diameter to your backing plate size.
Why does the pad height matter?
A shorter pad - 25mm in this case - creates less torsion between the backing plate and the paint surface. That means better stability, more consistent pressure across the pad face, and easier control during sealant application passes.
How does the open-cell structure benefit the application?
The optimised reticulation means the foam absorbs and releases product evenly rather than holding too much in one spot. It also makes the pad easier to clean between uses, which contributes to better hygiene and longer pad life.
How do I clean and care for this pad?
Rinse the pad with warm water after each use and gently work out any remaining product by hand or with a pad cleaning brush. Allow it to air-dry fully before storing. Avoid wringing the foam, as that can tear the cell structure over time.
Can I use this pad to apply a ceramic coating?
No. Ceramic coatings require dedicated suede or foam applicator blocks that allow precise, thin layering. This pad is built for machine application of sealants and light polishes, not hand-applied ceramic coatings where control of coverage is critical.
What does the milled edge actually do?
The milled edge creates a chamfered perimeter around the pad face. This allows the outer edge to flex and follow curves, bumpers, door edges and other contours without the pad lifting or leaving uneven product distribution along the edges of a panel.
