Koch Chemie Micro Cut Compound M3.02 is a professional micro-cut finishing polish engineered for the permanent removal of holograms, polishing streaks, buffer trails, fine scratches, and sanding marks up to P3000 grit. With a cut level of 3.2 and a gloss level of 9.0, M3.02 sits at the finest end of the Koch Chemie correction range, delivering exceptional paint clarity and a brilliant, deep, high-gloss finish without masking defects with fillers.

Formulated with ultra-homogeneous abrasives that work consistently across all paint systems including scratch-resistant clear coats. Particularly effective on dark and sensitive paint colors where holograms and swirls are most visible. Works cleanly on dual-action and rotary polishers and finishes residue-free for easy wipedown. Extremely economical in use, requiring very little product per panel to achieve professional results.

If you are looking for a professional micro cut finishing polish for removing holograms and buffer swirls, a Koch Chemie final correction compound for achieving maximum paint clarity and gloss, or a high-gloss finishing compound for sensitive and scratch-resistant clear coats, M3.02 is the final refinement tool that takes paint correction from good to flawless. Available in 250ml and 1L.

Koch Chemie Micro Cut M3.02 Usage

Micro Cut M3.02 is Koch Chemie's finest polish — step 3 of the 3-step system. Used for jeweling, final gloss refinement, and removing haze/micro-marring left by H9.02 or F6.01 on dark or soft clears.

• Recommended pad: Koch Chemie Polish & Sealing Pad (soft blue) or fine finishing foam
• Application: 4-6 pea-sized drops. Slow machine speed, light pressure, longer work time.
• Use cases: Final step after F6.01. Single-step on perfect paint for jeweling. Dark-color haze removal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Koch Chemie M3.02 aggressive enough as a one-step?

On nearly-perfect paint (new car, garage-kept), yes — it removes very light marring and maximizes gloss. On cars with actual defects, no — M3.02 won't cut swirl marks or deeper scratches. Use F6.01 or H9.02 as the first step in those cases.

What pad goes with Koch Chemie M3.02?

The Koch Chemie Polish & Sealing Pad (soft blue) is purpose-built for M3.02. Any fine finishing foam pad works. Avoid microfiber or cutting pads — they add cut the product isn't designed to deliver.

Koch Chemie M3.02 vs P3.01 — which is finer?

M3.02 is step 3 of the dedicated 3-step compound system (H9.02 → F6.01 → M3.02). P3.01 is a one-step Micro Cut & Finish — finer than P6 products, designed to be a standalone last step. For a full correction sequence, M3.02. For a final one-step-and-done, P3.01.
