When you prime a fresh pad, soak it right across the face — only then do the abrasives and the pad actually work together. From the second section on, 3 to 5 pea-sized drops per 40\u0026times;40 cm panel is enough. Flood half the pad again on the second section and you end up with a layer of leftover compound residue that visibly drags the gloss down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCold paint. Soak the pad. Work it to translucent.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Heavy Cut H9.02 only goes on cold, dry, contamination-free paint. Leftover contamination acts like grit and cuts fresh scratches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBefore every polishing round, the paint needs degreasing — best with an IPA cleaner from the prep range, to kill off any wax residue first. For machine choice, the maker sets a clear order: a rotary at medium speed for maximum cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2024 generation of the Heavy Cut pads now also lets you run them on dual-action polishers (DA polishers) — gloss stays comparable, the cutting time per panel goes up by about 20 percent. On the fresh pad you lay down an even film when you prime, spread it with finger pressure while the machine is off, then start at speed 1 to 2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWorking a crosshatch pattern with moderate pressure, you take a panel of 40 by 40 centimetres until the compound goes translucent. That is the point where the abrasives have fully broken down and the aluminium oxide has hit its finest grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBefore that point the grit still cuts too hard and leaves a rough microsurface; past that point the pad runs dry and throws holograms. Two to three section passes per panel is the standard — on heavier defects, shrink the panel rather than stretch the working time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou wipe the residue off with a clean, edgeless microfibre cloth — don't rub, wipe. Between panels, check the pad for saturation: if it is caked and shiny, loosen it up with a pad-cleaning brush; if it is smeared, swap it instead of fighting on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-heavy-cut-h9-02-grobe-schleifpolitur_anwendung.jpg?v=1776554761\" alt=\"Detailing1 applying Koch-Chemie Heavy Cut H9.02 with a rotary on clear coat\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:4px;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCut rating 9.0 clears P1200. Down to primer it won't.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Koch-Chemie Heavy Cut H9.02 is a correction compound, not a repair. Anything that sits within the thickness of the clear coat — swirls from automatic car washes, buffer trails, sanding marks after wet-sanding down to P1200, water-spot etching, light bird-dropping etching, UV dulling — comes back in one to three passes. Anything that already reaches into the colour coat or primer won't be fixed by any polish on earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA paint thickness gauge is a must for serious work at cut rating 9. Modern OEM clear coats run between 40 and 60 microns, and a single H9.02 pass takes off 1 to 3 microns depending on pad and pressure. Work with no gauge and correct three times, and on jet-black clear coat you'll be down to the colour coat faster than you'd think — and then neither a finishing polish nor a sealant saves you, only a respray.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe honest limits: bitumen, tar and silicone stains don't react chemically with the aluminium oxide — for those you need a tar remover before you polish. Very soft Japanese clear coats (Toyota white, a few Mazda reds) can tip into the hologram phase fast with the lambswool pad, so here you're better off starting straight with the Foam Pad Red.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor fine correction of medium scratches the H9.02 is overkill — that's where the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-fine-cut-f601-schleifpolitur-fein\"\u003eFine Cut F6.01\u003c\/a\u003e is the right tool.

For the occasional polisher it's overkill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's aimed at keen home detailers with a rotary or DA polisher, semi-pro reconditioners with a regular fleet workload, and shops prepping used cars for resale. If you refresh your new car once a year, you're a lot better off with a finer polish like the F6.01 or an all-rounder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn cost, the 250 ml bottle is already the standard size for home use: at 2 to 3 millilitres per panel it lasts for around 100 to 125 panels, or roughly three to four full corrections — that works out to a material cost of about 14 to 17 cents per panel, priming the pad included. The 1-litre bottle pays off from the tenth correction job a year, and the 5-litre canister is the bulk size for outfits running flat out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn day-to-day Detailing1 work the H9.02 never stands alone — it's step 1 in a two- to three-stage polishing system. The typical Koch-Chemie workflow: H9.02 on the Heavy Cut Pad Red for the coarse correction, Fine Cut F6.01 on the Fine Cut Foam Pad Yellow to even out the sanding structure, Micro Cut M3.02 to clear the holograms. Skip step 3 and you accept visible micro-sanding marks on dark paint. Over 87 percent of our H9.02 buyers add the F6.01 to the same basket — exactly for this reason.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut the biggest lever for a clean result is neither the polish nor the pad — it's the state of the paint before the first drop. Clean prep — clay bar, IPA wipedown, taping off the trim — saves a full polishing pass on average.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe best H9.02 tip from our bench, though, only comes at the end: after polishing, wipe the paint down with IPA again before you seal. The leftover oils from the pad are otherwise enough to cut the lifespan of a ceramic coating by 30 to 40 percent — and you only notice three months later. Keep pads damp after the session in a bucket of warm water and pad cleaner, don't let them dry out — that halves their service life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-heavy-cut-h9-02-grobe-schleifpolitur_lineup.jpg?v=1776554776\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie Heavy Cut H9.02 250ml 1000ml 5 litre line-up Detailing1\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:4px;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Koch-Chemie","offers":[{"title":"1000 ml \/ 1 liter","offer_id":48495549710671,"sku":"D1-KCX-458001","price":61.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 ml","offer_id":48495549677903,"sku":"D1-KCX-458250","price":18.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/koch-chemie-heavy-cut-h9-02-grobe-schleifpolitur.jpg?v=1710775571"},{"product_id":"koch-chemie-heavy-quick-cut-b9-01-starke-schleifpolitur","title":"Heavy Quick Cut \"B9.01\" Heavy Cutting Compound","description":"\u003ch2\u003eKnock out deep scratches and heavy oxidation in one step — with the Koch-Chemie Heavy Quick Cut \"B9.01\" Heavy Cutting Compound\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Koch-Chemie Heavy Quick Cut \"B9.01\" is a powerful cutting compound with cut grade 9.0 for machine correction of deep scratches, heavy oxidation and coarse sanding marks from P1500 grit upward — silicone-oil-free, suitable for all paint types and built to be the first stage in Koch-Chemie's multi-step polishing process.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCut grade 9.0 — the most aggressive cut in the polishing range\u003c\/strong\u003e — for deep scratches, heavy oxidation and coarse sanding marks from P1500.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSilicone-oil-free, plays nice with every coating\u003c\/strong\u003e — no silicone fillers that mask paint defects instead of correcting them.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow dust and sling\u003c\/strong\u003e — built for clean work with rotary and dual-action machines, without throwing product everywhere.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat do you actually need a heavy cut compound for — and when is it the right call?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the Koch-Chemie polishing system, the \u003cstrong\u003eHeavy Quick Cut B9.01\u003c\/strong\u003e is the heaviest hitter in the lineup. With a cut grade of 9.0, it's built for paint that finer compounds like the Fine Cut F6.01 or the Lack-Polish range simply won't cut deep enough on.

Swap the pad between stages — you don't want abrasives from different stages mixing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUltimateCut abrasive tech — what \"6+\/3\" and \"up to P1000\" mean in the polishing process\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe „6+\/3\" and „up to P1000\" labels in the spec sheet of the \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE UltimateCut\u003c\/strong\u003e tell you a lot about where it sits and what it's for. „6+\/3\" describes its abrasive position in the SONAX polish hierarchy: higher numbers mean more aggressive cut. With „6+\/3\" the UltimateCut sits at the top end of that scale — the first three digits describe the cutting power in use, and the format is a specific Sonax in-house classification method.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe „up to P1000\" figure is the spec that matters most day to day: it tells you the UltimateCut can fully level the sanding marks left by P1000 paper. P1000 is a medium-coarse grit (particle size about 18 microns) that's typically the first grit you reach for when wet-sanding out paint runs, orange peel after a respray or deep scratches. Marks that deep are too much for fine correction polishes (NP 03-06, PerfectFinish) — they need the cut of the UltimateCut to bring them down to a level the following stages can work with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe abrasives in the UltimateCut have a controlled particle size that delivers the heavy correction without cutting uncontrolled deep scratches of its own. Modern compounds often use abrasives that break down into smaller particles as you work them — this „diminishing abrasive\" effect means the polish is very aggressive at the start (coarse particles) and gets milder towards the end of the pass (broken-down, smaller particles). That reduces the depth of the polishing marks left behind and makes the next stage easier. The UltimateCut formula uses that principle to leave a surface after the correction step that you can take on with a medium-cut polish or straight to the PerfectFinish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lubrication of the UltimateCut formula plays a decisive supporting role: a cutting compound doesn't just have to be abrasive, it has to feed the pad enough lube so the machine's mechanical energy turns into abrasion under control instead of heat. Dry formulas cut well for a moment but overheat fast, and with too little lube they can leave dry-buff marks on the paint. The UltimateCut is balanced between cut and lubrication so it holds up over long passes at full tilt. On big vehicles (SUVs, vans, heavy saloons) that balance matters even more, because the whole job takes considerably longer than on a compact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing to watch with high-cut compounds like the UltimateCut is heat input: heavy cut under machine work builds serious heat where the pad meets the paint. Overheated paint can burn (orange-brown discolouration), soften, or crack from thermal stress. So: rotary at a moderate speed, enough product on the pad (lubrication keeps the heat down), and check the panel temperature regularly between passes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsing the UltimateCut properly — machine, pad and the multi-stage process\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorking with a cutting compound starts with the machine: for maximum cut on deep scratches and P1000 sanding marks the rotary polisher (single action, SA) is first choice — it gives you more torque and more material removal than a dual-action. If you only have a DA, go for a hard foam pad or a hybrid wool pad and several intensive passes — the result is fine, just slower than with the rotary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePad choice: the UltimateCut wants hard or medium-hard abrasive pads (wool pads, hybrid wool pads or hard foam). Soft finishing pads bring the abrasive performance right down and shouldn't be used with the UltimateCut. Clean the pad of old polish residue with a pad washer or a towel before you start — particles from a previous stage still sitting in the pad can put scratches in during the UltimateCut step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrder of work: spread a small amount of UltimateCut over the pad, spread it at low speed, then run intensive overlapping passes across the panel at medium to high speed. The polish dries fairly quickly — at room temperature and normal humidity you work section by section. After the UltimateCut step: wipe the residue off completely with a microfibre towel and check the surface under correction light for leftover sanding marks. If P1000 traces are still showing, repeat the UltimateCut step. If not, move on to the next polishing stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere the UltimateCut earns its keep — when you need maximum correction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eUltimateCut\u003c\/strong\u003e comes out when milder polishes are out of their depth. Wet-sanding after a respray: after paint work in a workshop or body shop, fresh paint often shows orange peel, runs or inclusions. Those get levelled mechanically by wet-sanding with P800–P1000. The deep sanding marks that leaves are the classic job for the UltimateCut as the first polishing step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBadly damaged older paint: cars that haven't been polished in years, showing heavy swirl marks across the panels, deep individual scratches from the wash bay or oxidation, need maximum correction to get back to a presentable level of gloss. The UltimateCut is the powerful first step there, bringing the damage down to a level that correction polishes can refine further. On badly damaged paint you often need the full combination of UltimateCut + FS 05-04 + PerfectFinish + NP 03-06.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpot repairs and blending areas: with spot resprays the repair has to be polished out and brought up to the gloss level of the surrounding paint. Depending on the grit of the paper used, the UltimateCut is needed as the first polishing step. In transition and blending areas you go gentler, so you don't take too much material off the surrounding paint that's already in good shape — here you keep the UltimateCut strictly on the repair itself, not on the blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCars with very thick clear coats (factory paint from the early 2000s or certain classic car resprays) will take repeated intensive work with the UltimateCut without getting into risky paint thickness territory. Modern cars with thinner clear coats (especially Asian brands and a few German manufacturers with special paints) need the abrasive energy dosed more carefully — one or two machine passes, then a thickness reading before you go on. That controlled approach isn't over-caution, it's professional standard for paint correction that lasts and doesn't compromise the car for future work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe UltimateCut in the polishing pyramid — position and combination strategies\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SONAX PROFILINE polish line covers a full abrasive hierarchy for every level of damage. At the top of the cut scale sits the \u003cstrong\u003eUltimateCut\u003c\/strong\u003e as the cutting compound, followed by the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-fs-05-04-schleif-politur\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE FS 05-04\u003c\/a\u003e as the medium-cut correction stage. The finishing stages are the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-perfectfinish-finish-politur\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE PerfectFinish\u003c\/a\u003e (after wet-sanding) and the NP 03-06 (finest high-gloss finish). That polishing pyramid lets you work any level of damage up in stages to a flawless gloss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor detailers and reconditioning outfits running the full PROFILINE polish system, the decision logic is clear: scratch depth decides where you enter the pyramid. Damage deeper than P1000 → UltimateCut to start. Damage between P1500 and P2000 → PerfectFinish to start. Fine swirl marks only → NP 03-06 or OS 02-06 as a single stage. Working systematically by level of damage is professional standard: it saves time and stops you over-polishing the paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared with third-party cutting compounds, the UltimateCut has the advantage of system compatibility as a PROFILINE product: it's matched to the PROFILINE stages that follow and leaves a surface after the correction step that those products can take on ideally. You can mix cutting compounds from other makers with PROFILINE finishing polishes, but then the particle sizes aren't guaranteed to line up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying the SONAX PROFILINE UltimateCut — sizes and what to pick\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE UltimateCut\u003c\/strong\u003e comes in 250 ml, 1 litre and 5 litre, plus 2-packs and 3-packs. The 250 ml bottle suits beginners and occasional users, the 1 litre is for regular professional work, and the 5 litre is for body shops and high-throughput polishing operations. A full paint correction on one car takes about 20–50 ml of UltimateCut depending on paint condition and vehicle size — so a 1 litre bottle covers 20–50 full jobs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe UltimateCut belongs in the kit of every body shop and every detailer who offers paint correction after wet-sanding or heavy swirl removal as a service. It's not an everyday product for routine maintenance details, it's the specialist tool for the cases where you genuinely need maximum correction. The money you put into the UltimateCut comes back in far shorter working times on difficult paint — which feeds straight into how profitable your paint correction work is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short, the SONAX PROFILINE UltimateCut is the strongest correction tool in the PROFILINE polish range for every situation where milder polishes don't cut it. If you regularly polish out resprays, work on after P1000 wet-sanding or correct badly damaged older paint, the UltimateCut gives you the power and efficiency those demanding jobs need.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"250ml","offer_id":53519971909967,"sku":"D1-SNX-2391410","price":23.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1000 ml \/ 1 liter","offer_id":53519971942735,"sku":"D1-SNX-2393000","price":68.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 liters","offer_id":53519971975503,"sku":"D1-SNX-2395000","price":223.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2x 250ml set","offer_id":53519972008271,"sku":"D1-SNX-2391410_2","price":46.98,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3x 250ml set","offer_id":53519972041039,"sku":"D1-SNX-2391410_3","price":70.47,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2x 1 Liter Set","offer_id":53519972073807,"sku":"D1-SNX-2393000_2","price":136.98,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 x 1 Liter Set","offer_id":53519972106575,"sku":"D1-SNX-2393000_3","price":205.47,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/sonax-profiline-ultimatecut-schleif-politur.png?v=1730646033"},{"product_id":"sonax-profiline-ex-05-05-schleif-politur-heavy-cut","title":"PROFILINE EX \"05-05\" Cutting Compound (Heavy-Cut)","description":"\u003ch2\u003eRemove deep scratches on the dual-action polisher with the SONAX EX 05-05 cutting compound\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat can the SONAX EX 05-05 do? A heavy-cut cutting compound for dual-action polishers with a cut rating of 5\/5 and a gloss rating of 5\/5 — it removes deep scratches, sanding marks up to P1500 and heavy weathering, and with the HybridwollPad it gets you results on a rotary level.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor a long time, dual-action polishers were seen as the safe but weak tool — fine for finishing work, but no good for serious defect correction. Deep scratches, sanding marks and heavy weathering were the domain of the rotary, because only it built enough friction energy for the material removal you need. The \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX EX 05-05\u003c\/strong\u003e breaks with that limitation. Paired with a HybridwollPad, this cutting compound gets you results on the dual-action that used to be reserved for the rotary: sanding marks up to P1500 disappear in a single pass, deep scratches and etching are pulled out reliably, and the 5\/5 gloss rating leaves a finish that often needs no extra polishing step. For detailers who want to — or have to — work the dual-action only, because the rotary is too risky on certain paints, the EX 05-05 is the cutting compound of choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeavy-cut on the dual-action.\u003c\/strong\u003e With a cut rating of 5\/5, the EX 05-05 is the most aggressive polish in the SONAX EX line-up. Its abrasive blend is built so it still generates enough cut even at the lower friction energy of dual-action motion, enough to remove deep scratches and sanding marks up to P1500. Paired with the HybridwollPad — a pad that combines foam and lambswool fibres — cutting power climbs noticeably again, because the wool fibres add friction that pure foam pads simply can't deliver.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh gloss at the same time.\u003c\/strong\u003e The 5\/5 gloss rating shows the EX 05-05 doesn't just cut, it polishes too. The abrasives break down progressively over the polishing pass — from coarse to fine — and leave a surface that on many paints is already the end result you wanted.

In paint shops the silicone-free build eliminates the contamination risk, and the low-dust working saves time on the clean-up. Especially with heavy defect correction that takes several passes and a lot of polishing work, the low-dust formula makes a real difference in comfort and in how clean your work area stays.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetailing1's tip from the shop:\u003c\/strong\u003e For maximum cut on the dual-action, pair the EX 05-05 with the SONAX HybridwollPad and work at speed 5 to 6 (depending on the machine). Apply moderate pressure and guide the machine across the surface at two to three centimetres per second — clearly slower than when you're finish-polishing. The trick: let the machine do the work and use the weight of the tool as your natural down-pressure. Don't force the machine into the surface — that stalls the dual-action motion and reduces the cut instead of raising it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCutting compound for the dual-action — how the EX 05-05 gets rotary results on a DA\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe key to the performance of the \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX EX 05-05\u003c\/strong\u003e lies in the match between abrasive and pad. The abrasive particles are sized to work best at the specific friction energy of a dual-action polisher: big enough for effective cut, small enough for controlled particle break-down. On a rotary these particles would break too fast and lose their cutting power — so the EX 05-05 isn't a universal polish, it's a specialist for the dual-action motion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe HybridwollPad amplifies this effect: the lambswool fibres create extra micro-friction on the surface that boosts material removal, while the foam core keeps the heat in check. The result: a cut on the dual-action that gets close to the level of a rotary with a medium-hard foam pad — without the rotary's risks (holograms, hot spots, burning through on edges).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe EX 05-05 plus HybridwollPad combo does have its limits, though: sanding marks of P1000 and coarser can't be fully removed in a single pass on the dual-action, even with this aggressive pairing. Here the rotary with a polish like the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-cutmax-schleif-politur\"\u003eCutMax\u003c\/a\u003e stays on top. The EX 05-05 covers the range from P1500 down to light P1200 marks — and in that range it gives you a result on the dual-action that makes switching to the rotary unnecessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor anyone who rarely uses their dual-action for heavy-cut, an important note: the performance of the EX 05-05 depends a lot on the quality of the dual-action. Cheap entry-level DAs with a short throw (8 mm) and a weak motor hit their limits fast on heavy defects. Machines with a long throw (15 to 21 mm) like the common pro models deliver far more friction energy and tap the EX 05-05's potential better. If you're planning to do heavy-cut work on the dual-action regularly, the investment in a long-throw machine pays off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsing the EX 05-05 the right way — pad choice, speed and technique\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eEX 05-05\u003c\/strong\u003e shows its full strength paired with the HybridwollPad. For less aggressive jobs — say on near-new paint with only light scratches — a hard foam pad (orange) works too, giving slightly less cut at slightly higher gloss. On a soft finishing pad the compound loses too much cutting power — for pure finish-polishing the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-ex-04-06-hochglanz-politur\"\u003eEX 04-06\u003c\/a\u003e is the better call.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePut three to four pea-sized dots on the pad and spread the compound over the panel at a low speed. Step up to speed 5 to 6 and work in slow, overlapping passes across the section. A typical section — about half a fender — takes three to four minutes on the dual-action. By the end of the pass the compound should sit clear and thin on the surface — the sign that the abrasives have fully broken down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003emachine handling\u003c\/strong\u003e on the EX 05-05 differs from a finishing polish: with heavy-cut you can apply a bit more pressure than when finish-polishing, but only ever enough that the dual-action motion doesn't come to a stop. The moment you feel the machine stalling or vibrating, take the pressure off straight away. A stalling pad creates localised heat that can cause thermal damage on sensitive paints — showing up as light discolouration or dullness that even re-polishing can no longer fully correct.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you work on \u003cstrong\u003eedges and raised lines\u003c\/strong\u003e, take extra care: the clearcoat there is often only half as thick as on the flats. Drop the pressure clearly in these areas and rather run one extra pass with little pressure than a single pass with too much cut. A coating thickness gauge before you start gives you certainty about the room you've got to work with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the pass, wipe the residue off with a clean microfibre cloth and check under LED light. If defects are still visible, repeat the pass on the same section. With the EX 05-05, two to three passes per panel on hard European paints are nothing unusual — on softer Japanese or Korean paints a single pass is often enough. Match your expectations to the paint type and plan in enough time, instead of giving up after one pass when the result isn't right yet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDegrease the polished surface afterwards with \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-prepare-reiniger-kontrollspray-entfetter\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Prepare\u003c\/a\u003e to see the true result.

Day-to-day, that comes down to a few scenarios:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you're \u003cstrong\u003edetailing dark paints\u003c\/strong\u003e (black, dark blue, dark grey), the dual-action is the safer call, because it throws fewer holograms than the rotary. On these demanding colours the EX 05-05 delivers enough cut to remove scratches and swirls, and the 5\/5 gloss rating keeps the rework to a minimum. On black paint a short finishing pass with the EX 04-06 often makes sense, to pull out that last bit of deep gloss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn \u003cstrong\u003ecars with a thin clearcoat layer\u003c\/strong\u003e — measured with a coating thickness gauge — the dual-action gives you more control over material removal. The EX 05-05 removes defects efficiently, but more controlled than a rotary polish, because the dual-action motion takes off less per unit of time. That gives you the chance to check progress after every pass and stop in time, before the clearcoat gets too thin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor \u003cstrong\u003escratch removal in hard-to-reach spots\u003c\/strong\u003e — door-handle recesses, swage lines, transitions between panels — the compact dual-action with a small pad (75 mm or 125 mm) is a better fit than the big rotary. The EX 05-05 works on all common pad sizes and adapts flexibly to the panel geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne more scenario that pro detailers value: \u003cstrong\u003ecorrecting transport damage and car-wash scratches\u003c\/strong\u003e on new vehicles. Plenty of new cars arrive at the dealer with fine to medium scratches — caused by film removal, transport securing or careless cleaning out on the lot. The EX 05-05 removes these defects on the safe dual-action, without putting the thin factory paint at risk. Combined with a final ceramic coating, the car ends up better protected than it was in delivery condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCutting compound comparison — EX 05-05 vs. CutMax vs. Cut+Finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe three key cutting compounds in the SONAX PROFILINE range cover different machine types and demands:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-cutmax-schleif-politur\"\u003eCutMax (6\/4)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e is the cutting compound for the rotary — maximum cut (6\/5), moderate gloss (4\/5), optimised for the high friction energy of the rotary.

A universal polish that works equally well on both machine types doesn't exist — the physical demands of the two motions are too different. That's why SONAX deliberately developed separate product lines for rotary and dual-action with the PROFILINE range, rather than offering compromise products that don't show their full strength on either machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying the EX 05-05 — sizes and recommendation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX EX 05-05\u003c\/strong\u003e comes in 250 ml and 1000 ml. For the occasional job detailing your own car, the 250 ml bottle is enough — a full defect correction uses between 50 and 100 ml depending on the size of the car and how bad the defects are. The 1000 ml bottle is the more economical option for detailing businesses and keen enthusiasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the optimal workflow for the dual-action, the EX 05-05 is the first step (heavy-cut), followed by the EX 04-06 as the finishing step and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-prepare-reiniger-kontrollspray-entfetter\"\u003eSONAX Prepare\u003c\/a\u003e for degreasing and checking the result. This two-step process on the dual-action gets you results that come close to a three-step process on the rotary — at clearly lower risk of holograms and burn-through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone with both EX-series polishes on the shelf — the EX 05-05 for heavy-cut and the EX 04-06 for finish — is set up for every dual-action job. The two products complement each other perfectly: the EX 05-05 removes the heavy defects, the EX 04-06 pulls out the last bit of gloss. Together they replace a three-product system (cutting paste, cutting compound, finishing polish) of the kind that's standard with the rotary — fewer products, fewer pad changes, fewer things to get wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor economical use: the product consumption of the EX 05-05 on heavy-cut work runs a bit higher than on a finishing polish, because you need more passes per panel. For a full defect correction on the dual-action, count on around 80 to 120 ml per car — depending on the size of the car and how bad the defects are. The 250 ml bottle does two to three cars that way, the 1000 ml bottle eight to twelve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne tip for pad care: the HybridwollPad should be cleaned thoroughly after every car — polish residue in the wool fibres hardens and reduces cutting power on the next job. Rinse the pad out under warm water after the work and let it dry fully before you use it again. You can tell a worn-out HybridwollPad by the wool fibres being flattened and no longer springing back — that's when it's time for a new pad. Rather invest in a fresh pad than in an extra polishing pass: the cut of a new pad is noticeably higher than that of a worn one, and the result more even. Professional outfits change the HybridwollPad after five to eight cars at the latest — beyond that the wool structure is so compacted that the cut drops off noticeably and you're no longer getting the full efficiency out of the EX 05-05.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"250ml","offer_id":53520446619983,"sku":"D1-SNX-2451410","price":17.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1000 ml \/ 1 liter","offer_id":53520446652751,"sku":"D1-SNX-2453000","price":40.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2x 250ml set","offer_id":53520446685519,"sku":"D1-SNX-2451410_2","price":34.98,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"3x 250ml set","offer_id":53520446718287,"sku":"D1-SNX-2451410_3","price":52.47,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"2x 1 Liter Set","offer_id":53520446751055,"sku":"D1-SNX-2453000_2","price":80.98,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 x 1 Liter Set","offer_id":53520446783823,"sku":"D1-SNX-2453000_3","price":121.47,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/sonax-profiline-ex-05-05-schleif-politur-heavy-cut.png?v=1730649133"},{"product_id":"sonax-profiline-cutmax-schleif-politur","title":"PROFILINE CutMax \"6\/4\" cutting compound (down to P1000)","description":"\u003ch2\u003eRemove deep scratches and sanding marks with the SONAX CutMax cutting compound\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat does the SONAX CutMax do?

With a cut rating of 6 on the SONAX scale, it's the most aggressive polish in the PROFILINE range — built for jobs where you need maximum material removal: deep scratches, P1000 sanding marks, orange peel, paint fog and badly weathered paintwork. Despite that heavy cut, the CutMax works almost dust-free thanks to Low Dust Technology and leaves a gloss level of 4\/5, which in most cases only needs a quick finishing step after it. For body shops and pro detailers, the CutMax is the tool of choice when efficiency on defect removal beats everything else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum cut for heavy defects.\u003c\/strong\u003e The abrasive blend in the CutMax is built for fast, deep cutting. It pulls out sanding marks from P1000 in a single pass — a range lighter polishes simply can't reach. Baked-on bug splatter, deep scratches and years of neglected weathering get cut away just as effectively. That cut saves real time in the bay, because you need fewer passes than with milder products.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow Dust Technology for clean work.\u003c\/strong\u003e With a lot of polishes, heavy cut also means heavy dust — a problem that settles into panel gaps, seals and across the whole workspace and needs serious cleanup. The CutMax solves that with its dedicated Low Dust formula: the compound stays on the pad and on the surface through the whole process instead of dusting off. That saves you the cleanup and keeps polishing dust out of freshly painted areas — a critical point in body shops.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGood gloss despite the heavy cut.\u003c\/strong\u003e A gloss level of 4\/5 is remarkable for a cutting compound this aggressive.

Start at 1000 rpm to spread the compound out, then take it up to 1500–1800 rpm for the actual cutting. Work in rows with 50 percent overlap and lay down even, moderate pressure — the abrasives need friction, not heavy pressure. After each pass, check with an LED light whether the defects are fully gone before you move to the finishing step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCut 6\/4 — how the CutMax can take heavy paint defects out in one pass\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX CutMax\u003c\/strong\u003e hits its high cut through a mix of specially sized abrasive particles and a formula that keeps the cut steady across the whole pass. Unlike basic cutting compounds, whose cut drops off noticeably after the first thirty seconds because the abrasives break down too fast, the CutMax holds its cutting power through the entire work cycle. In practice that means: one pass of two to three minutes per section is enough to fully remove even deep sanding marks — instead of the three or four passes you'd need with a weaker polish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe gloss level of 4\/5 shows the CutMax isn't a pure cutting paste but a cutting compound with controlled particle breakdown. The abrasives start out aggressive and break down into finer particles over the pass, which already take care of part of the finish. The result is a surface that's noticeably smoother and glossier than after a pure cutting paste — but not yet at the level of a dedicated finishing polish. For shops that need to get to a presentable result fast after wet sanding, that in-between stage is often already enough when concours quality isn't on the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne important difference to the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-cut-finish-einstufen-politur\"\u003eSONAX Cut+Finish (5\/5)\u003c\/a\u003e: the CutMax has the higher cut and comes in where the Cut+Finish doesn't pull enough material anymore — so with P1000 sanding marks, deep scratches and heavy weathering. The Cut+Finish is the one-step solution from P1500, the CutMax is the heavy hammer for everything below that. In a lot of shops both products sit side by side: the Cut+Finish for most of the day-to-day work, the CutMax for the heavy cases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsing a cutting compound right — machine, pad and technique for maximum cut\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX CutMax\u003c\/strong\u003e shows its full potential on the rotary machine. The pure rotation builds more friction and heat than a dual-action machine — exactly the energy a cutting compound at this level needs to deliver maximum cut. It works on a dual-action machine too, but with a clearly reduced cut: you need more passes and more time for the same result. If you regularly tackle heavy correction, the rotary is the right investment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003epad choice\u003c\/strong\u003e heavily shapes the result. For maximum cut, go for a hard foam pad (white in the SONAX colour system) or a lambswool pad. The lambswool pad gives the highest cut of all pad types but also leaves the roughest surface — ideal for the first pass on heavy defects, followed by a foam pad for the refinement. A medium pad reduces the cut and suits paints that need less correction, or sensitive areas like edges and creases, where too aggressive a cut could burn through the clear coat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor application, put three to four pea-sized dots on the pad and spread the compound across the panel at low speed. Then take it up to working speed and polish in rows with fifty percent overlap. Work in sections of around forty by forty centimetres — small enough to stay in control, big enough to make efficient progress. Listen to the machine: a steady hum tells you the pad is working cleanly on the surface. A rattle or vibration points to too much pressure or a clogged pad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the cutting pass, wipe the compound residue off with a clean microfibre cloth and check the result under an LED light. If the defects are fully gone, the finishing step follows. If marks are still showing, repeat the pass — better a second controlled pass than a single one with too much pressure that can cause holograms or heat spots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA common beginner mistake working with the CutMax: too much product on the pad. A cutting compound needs less product than a finishing polish, because the cut comes from the abrasives, not from the volume of paste. Three to four small dots are enough for a section of forty by forty centimetres. Too much product thins out the cutting action, drags out the pass and makes wiping harder. In pro shops, experienced polishers sometimes work with even less product — they make up for the smaller amount with precise machine control that gets the most out of the abrasive that's there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne important note on \u003cstrong\u003eheat control\u003c\/strong\u003e: the rotary builds serious heat when you work with a cutting compound. On dark paints the surface temperature can climb past seventy degrees in a few seconds — a temperature that can damage the clear coat. Check the temperature regularly by running the back of your hand over the surface. When it gets uncomfortably warm, let the section cool briefly before you carry on. On edges, creases and raised lines the heat build-up is especially critical, because the paint layer there is thinner than on flat panels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCorrecting heavy paint defects — the ideal use cases for the CutMax\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe main job for the \u003cstrong\u003eCutMax\u003c\/strong\u003e is defect correction after wet sanding with P1000 to P1200 grit. In the body shop that's the most common use: after a blend-in or spot repair, the transition between new and old paint gets wet sanded, and the CutMax then takes the sanding marks out in a single pass. The compound being silicone-free is key here — in a shop environment where paint goes on every day, there can be no silicone risk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn \u003cstrong\u003ereconditioning badly neglected vehicles\u003c\/strong\u003e the CutMax shows its strength too. Paints that have been exposed to sun, bird droppings, tree sap and industrial fallout for years build up an oxidised layer that lighter polishes can't get through. The CutMax cuts that layer away efficiently and exposes the undamaged paint underneath. The result is often striking: colours that looked dull and faded show the full depth and brilliance of the original paint again after correction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn \u003cstrong\u003enew-car reconditioning\u003c\/strong\u003e the CutMax comes into play too, when the factory paint shows heavy orange peel. A wet sand with P1000 levels the surface, and the CutMax brings the gloss back. This job takes experience, because the clear coat on new vehicles is often thinner than on older paint systems — a paint thickness reading before sanding is a must, so you don't break through the clear coat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn \u003cstrong\u003epartial PPF wraps\u003c\/strong\u003e on front ends the CutMax sometimes comes in indirectly: the paint under the film gets polished before the wrap to clear up any defects that would show through the clear film. The CutMax removes scratches and swirls fast and effectively, and the finishing polish after it leaves a flawlessly smooth base for the film to bond to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhere the CutMax hits its limits: on scratches that reach down into the base coat or the primer, no polish helps — here you need to respray the affected spot. The CutMax also can't replace clear coat that's already peeling over a large area. In cases like that it's better to be honest with the customer about the limits of polishing than to promise a result you can't reach. Honest communication builds the customer's trust over the long run far more than a cosmetic compromise that shows again after a few weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCutting compound comparison — CutMax vs. UltimateCut vs. EX 05-05\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the SONAX PROFILINE range there are three products in play for heavy defect removal: CutMax, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-ultimatecut-schleif-politur\"\u003eUltimateCut\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-ex-05-05-schleif-politur-heavy-cut\"\u003eEX 05-05\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eUltimateCut (6+\/3)\u003c\/strong\u003e has the highest cut in the whole range — even higher than the CutMax. It's reserved for the most extreme cases: the worst weathering, P800 sanding marks, massive orange peel. The gloss level of 3\/5 shows that after the UltimateCut a finishing step is definitely needed — often even a two-step finish. The UltimateCut is the tool for specialists, not for daily use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eEX 05-05 (5\/5)\u003c\/strong\u003e sits on the other side of the spectrum: the same cut and same gloss as the Cut+Finish, but with a different formula that works better on certain paint systems. It's the alternative for anyone who doesn't get the result they want with the Cut+Finish — for example on particularly hard ceramic clear coats, where the EX series has traditionally been strong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eCutMax (6\/4)\u003c\/strong\u003e sits between these extremes: more cut than the EX 05-05, but a clearly better gloss than the UltimateCut. For the bulk of heavy defect-correction work — wet sanding from P1000, deep scratches, heavy weathering — the CutMax is the optimal choice, because it gets the defect removal done in one step and keeps the finishing step after it short.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying the CutMax — bottle sizes and workflow recommendation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX CutMax\u003c\/strong\u003e comes in 250 ml, 1000 ml and 5 litres. The 250 ml bottle is enough for several complete vehicle corrections and is the ideal entry point for private users and smaller outfits. The 1000 ml bottle is the standard size for shops with regular polishing demand. The 5-litre container is aimed at high-throughput businesses — the per-litre price is lowest here, and the wide opening makes it easier to dispense with a dosing bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the best polishing workflow we recommend the combination: CutMax as the cutting compound on the rotary, followed by the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-perfectfinish-finish-politur\"\u003eSONAX PerfectFinish\u003c\/a\u003e as the finishing step on the dual-action machine, and finally \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-prepare-reiniger-kontrollspray-entfetter\"\u003eSONAX Prepare\u003c\/a\u003e for degreasing and result check. This three-step combo covers the whole defect-correction process — from heavy cutting to a finish that's ready to seal. Anyone who wants to lay down a long-term sealant afterwards already has the perfect base with Prepare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn shelf life and storage: like all cutting compounds, the CutMax can separate slightly if it sits for a while. Shake the bottle thoroughly before every use until the consistency is homogeneous and creamy again. Store the product frost-free and sealed — frozen compound loses its abrasive structure and is useless after that. Stored properly, the CutMax keeps its full performance over the whole shelf life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA closing practical note on the \u003cstrong\u003ecost-effective use\u003c\/strong\u003e in the shop: the CutMax has a higher per-litre price than consumer polishes from the DIY store, but the product consumption per vehicle is much lower. The concentrated formula means you get by with three to four dots per section — a 250 ml bottle lasts for several complete vehicle corrections. Measured by result per euro spent, the CutMax is therefore more economical than cheaper alternatives that need double or triple the product and still take more passes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"250ml","offer_id":53520611148111,"sku":"D1-SNX-2461410","price":19.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1000 ml \/ 1 liter","offer_id":53520611180879,"sku":"D1-SNX-2463000","price":60.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 liters","offer_id":53520611213647,"sku":"D1-SNX-2465000","price":229.43,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"2x 250ml set","offer_id":53520611246415,"sku":"D1-SNX-2461410_2","price":38.98,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3x 250ml set","offer_id":53520611279183,"sku":"D1-SNX-2461410_3","price":58.47,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2x 1 Liter Set","offer_id":53520611311951,"sku":"D1-SNX-2463000_2","price":120.98,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3x 1 Liter Set","offer_id":53520611344719,"sku":"D1-SNX-2463000_3","price":181.47,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/sonax-profiline-cutmax-schleif-politur.png?v=1730650207"},{"product_id":"flex-cut-politur-pcc-2-step","title":"Cut Polish \"PC-C\" 2-Step (Cut 5 \/ Gloss 2)","description":"\u003ch2\u003eFLEX Cut Polish PC-C – Maximum defect correction for the first step of professional paint correction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe FLEX Cut Polish PC-C is a heavy-hitting cutting polish for the first pass in a 2-Step system.

Then drop the pressure and raise the speed (1200 RPM) for the refining phase. Always work in a crosshatch pattern to avoid transitions. After the SP \"06-02\", always check the defined finish under good lighting before moving on to the FS 05-04.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCut level 6 and gloss level 2 — how the SP \"06-02\" works through paint defects\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe SONAX PROFILINE system defines cut and gloss levels on a scale that makes picking the right polish for each defect level easy. Cut level 6 is the highest cut in the SP range — it's an aggressive cut that reaches even stubborn defects like deeply embedded scratches and wet-sanding marks up to P1200. At the same time, gloss level 2 means the SP \"06-02\" leaves a certain haze after polishing that a finishing polish has to refine further. That's not a drawback, it's the plan: a heavy-cut compound that also delivers maximum gloss always compromises either the cutting power or the finish. The SP \"06-02\" is optimised for the first step — and it does that step so well that the second step with the FS 05-04 becomes efficient and predictable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe abrasive formulation of the \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE SP 06-02\u003c\/strong\u003e works with mineral abrasives that turn actively abrasive under the pressure of the rotary polisher. These so-called \"breaking down\" abrasives break apart as the polishing goes on: on the first pass at high pressure they hit with their full aggression, on the second pass at reduced pressure they get finer and produce a more even finish. This self-breaking behaviour is why the SP \"06-02\", despite its cut level 6, gives a controlled and predictable result — the paint isn't removed at random, it's worked systematically. If you want to understand why professional detailers rate the PROFILINE system, here's one of the core reasons: the chemistry works with the machine, not against it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eImportant for practice: the SP \"06-02\" is built for work with the rotary polisher, not for dual-action machines. Rotary machines generate the heat and pressure you need to activate the abrasives properly. With a dual-action machine at low cut and moderate pressure you can in theory use a heavy-cut compound, but the result and the efficiency are clearly worse. In the pro use the SP \"06-02\" is designed for, only the rotary machine comes into play — ideally with a wool pad for maximum cut, or a hard foam pad for a controlled finish on more delicate paints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsing the SP \"06-02\" the right way — the rotary-polisher workflow\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePhase 1 starts with a prepped paint area, cleared of dust and dirt. The panel you're working should also be at room temperature — cold paint reacts to the abrasives differently than warm, and below 10 °C the polish can't reach its full effect. Put product on the pad — not too much, about 4–6 pea-sized drops for an area of roughly one square metre. Then start at 5–10 kg pressure at 800 RPM and move evenly across the area you're working. The higher pressure activates the abrasives and makes sure the defects come out efficiently. This phase takes about 30 seconds per square metre and is the actual cutting step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePhase 2 follows straight after: drop the pressure to 1–2 kg, raise the speed to 1200 RPM. Now the SP \"06-02\" switches into the refining phase. The abrasives, now finer, level the surface created in phase 1 and produce the even, defined finish that's the ideal starting point for the follow-up FS polish. This phase takes about 60 seconds per square metre. Then lift the residue with a clean microfibre cloth and check the result under good lighting — ideally with an LED inspection lamp. If defects are still showing, repeat the phase before you lay on the next polish. The crosshatch pattern matters here: even overlaps of 50 % of the pad face prevent transitions and uneven cutting depths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA practical note on pad choice: the SONAX PROFILINE wool pad delivers the highest cut with the SP \"06-02\" and is first choice on hard-to-reach defects or large-area weathering damage. The hard foam pad offers a bit less aggression but a more even finish and less heat build-up — ideal on more delicate paints or when you want tighter control over the cut. So the call between the pads comes down to the paint's condition and the job: the more aggressive the defects, the more it's wool; the more delicate the paint, the more it's the hard foam pad. If you've got both pads in the set, you can switch from wool to the foam pad after the first round to harmonise the finish further before the FS 05-04 — that often saves a separate polishing pass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the SP \"06-02\" the paint is in a state that still shows holograms and fine sanding marks under direct light — that's intended and expected. The follow-up polish's job is exactly that: to refine this defined finish further, until the paint sits there hologram-free and high-gloss. Using the SP \"06-02\" as your only polish and laying a wax over it wouldn't get you anywhere — it's the first step, not the last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it fits — when the SP \"06-02\" is the right call\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe SP \"06-02\" bites in situations where medium-cut polishes no longer cut it: freshly resprayed panels with orange-peel or sanding-grit marks, cars with deep swirl marks after years without professional correction, heavily weathered single-stage paints on classic cars, and above all follow-up work after wet-sanding with P1000–P1200. In damage repair — after hail damage with small sanding spots, after bird-dropping etches that have gone deep into the clear coat — the SP \"06-02\" is the tool of choice, because the medium polishes don't fully reach the depth of that damage. In overspray removal too, where you need the abrasive action to sand off the deposited foreign-paint particles, the SP \"06-02\" shows its full strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe SP \"06-02\" has its limits on extremely thin or already heavily thinned paints. On cars that have already been professionally corrected several times and whose clear coat has little thickness left, you should measure the paint thickness before reaching for a heavy-cut product. That's no failing of the SP \"06-02\" — it's a general principle of any abrasive work that gets factored in automatically in pro use. Used correctly, the SP \"06-02\" removes defined and controllable amounts of clear coat and isn't a tool for the occasional user with no rotary experience. Professional detailers generally recommend always working a test area in a less visible spot before the first pass on an unknown car, to get a feel for the paint hardness and the cut — every paint reacts a little differently, and what works fine on a soft Japanese clear coat needs clearly more machine pressure and dwell time on a hard German clear coat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe SP \"06-02\" in the polish system — the three-step PROFILINE workflow\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe SONAX PROFILINE polish system is designed as a matched three-step system.

If you're after a single heavy-cut solution for pro use, you'll find the SP \"06-02\" a reliable, easy-to-run product from a matched system. Together with the FS 05-04 and NP 03-06 you get a complete, scalable correction workflow that suits practically any task in professional paint polishing — from simple scratch removal to full paint restoration. The 250 ml bottle suits getting started and trying the system out, the 1 L container the daily pro use. Deciding on the SP 06-02 also means deciding on a clear way of working: not fast and with cut corners, but systematic and with a result. For keen hobby detailers working their way into professional paint correction, the SP system is an excellent way in — the clear levels and the predictable behaviour make it easier to understand and fine-tune your own approach. For pros correcting cars every day, the SP \"06-02\" is a reliable constant in the workflow you can lean on without surprises. And for bodyshops that offer correction work alongside repairs, it's the right tool to tackle even the most stubborn paint damage systematically and with a reproducible result.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"250ml","offer_id":57345086554447,"sku":"D1-SNX-3201410","price":13.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/sonax-profiline-sp-06-02_250ml.png?v=1774731897"},{"product_id":"zvizzer-pc-5000-pre-cut-blau-schleifpolitur","title":"PC 5000 \"Pre Cut\" Cutting Polish (Blue)","description":"\u003ch2 id=\"speakable-headline\"\u003eCut out deep scratches before the gloss comes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cblockquote id=\"speakable-summary\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat is the ZviZZer PC 5000 Pre Cut?

The light haze is part of the plan — a coarse cutting compound cuts, it doesn't finish. Spread a pea-sized amount at about 1,000 rpm, work it out at up to 1,800 rpm with medium pressure, and then firmly plan in a pass of medium or finish afterwards. Skip the second step and the haze shows up at the latest in direct sunlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpread at 1,000 work out at 1,800 then refine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou spread the HC 4000 pea-sized at about 1,000 rpm on the damaged spot and then work it out at up to 1,800 rpm with medium pressure, until the scratches are closed and the cut is there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe prerequisite is clean, decontaminated and masked-off paint. Otherwise leftover tar or fallout settles into the pad and drags fresh scratches into exactly the area you're correcting. Wash the car, clay it, and mask sensitive edges and trim beforehand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HC 4000 shows its strength on a hard red \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/politur\"\u003epolishing pad\u003c\/a\u003e with strong cut or on lamb's wool, not on a soft finishing sponge. For the red cutting compound the maker recommends a pad in the same system colour, such as the hard Thermo Trapez pad in 125 millimetres. Work in sections of about 40 by 40 centimetres so the grit acts for the same time everywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep the pad clean: after two to three sections knock the polishing dust out or swap the pad, otherwise a clogged pad smears and the cut stalls. From our KB day-to-day the rule of thumb is that wool and hard foam carry the strong cut, while too soft a pad overheats the friction and stresses the paint instead of cutting it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlan the second step in from the start. The HC 4000 preps the surface perfectly for the MC 3000 that follows, that's its intended spot in the flow. After the cut, wipe down with a splash of isopropanol, check the real result under the polishing oil, and then set up the medium or finish grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaint temperature decides the pace. Below about 15 degrees the water-based grit grabs more stubbornly and the cut takes longer — then a touch more rpm rather than more product. In full sun, on the other hand, the film dries too early; work in the shade and on a cool surface, otherwise the compound dusts and the cut comes out uneven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDeep scratches yes the finished look no\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HC 4000 reliably cuts deep scratches, sanding marks from P2000 and oxidation — the high-gloss, hologram-free end state it deliberately does not deliver, it's the stage before that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts core ground is heavy correction: badly weathered, matte or fingernail-deep scratched paint that needs real cut before gloss is even on the table. It suits all paint types, including scratch-resistant as well as fresh and cured paint. On a badly weathered bumper one pass rarely does it — there we needed two passes until the oxidation haze was gone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe difference in grit is the fastest signpost. Sanding marks from P2000 and deep scratches are the red HC 4000's turf. Fine swirls and holograms from about P3000 already fall to the milder orange grade. If you clearly catch the defect with your fingernail, Heavy Cut is right; if not, it's too coarse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe limits are drawn clearly. If the scratches sit even deeper and the HC 4000 doesn't close them in two passes, the even stronger blue \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/zvizzer-pc-5000-pre-cut-blau-schleifpolitur\"\u003ePre Cut compound\u003c\/a\u003e belongs in front of it. If there are only light swirls, the HC 4000 is too coarse — then the milder \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/zvizzer-mc-3000-medium-cut-orange-one-step-politur\"\u003eone-step polish\u003c\/a\u003e is enough, correcting and bringing gloss in a single step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA second edge case is soft clearcoat. Japanese and some modern paints are so yielding that a coarse cutting compound leaves more haze there than you'd need. On surfaces like that, start one grade milder and rather plan in a second pass than take off too much at once with Heavy Cut. The haze gets removed with medium or finish in every case, never left standing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn widespread oxidation the HC 4000 plays its strength to the full. A paint gone matte and chalky after years without protection can barely be saved with a mild polish, simply because the initial cut is missing. Here the strong red grit takes off the top, damaged layer and exposes the intact paint underneath — the base on which a later gloss build can hold in the first place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFor heavy correction not the quick wash\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HC 4000 is the right call when paint needs real material removal and you want to remove the defect instead of hiding it under gloss. It's a tool for the damage case, not a weekly care item.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's less suited to two situations: the regular refresh of well-kept paint, for which it's simply too aggressive, and concours reconditioning as a single product, because finishing grades run at the end anyway. If you need the full spectrum long term, you're better off with the graded ZviZZer system from Pre Cut through Heavy and Medium to Ultra Fine than with a single grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne question that keeps reaching us in support is whether beginners can use a polish product like this safely. With a coarse cutting compound the honest answer is: carefully. It removes noticeable material and forgives less than a one-step polish, especially on edges where the clearcoat is thin and burns through fast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoney-wise the choice works out over the bottle size. For a couple of spot scratches on the bumper the 250 ml bottle is enough and you use it sparingly. If you're correcting a fully weathered car or several cars a season, the 750 ml bottle works out cheaper, since a pea-sized amount already covers 40 by 40 centimetres of paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe one point the grade chart doesn't tell you: the HC 4000 is no stopgap for gloss chasers, it's brutally honest and cuts off what you give it. Test it on a hidden spot, check the real result under the polishing oil with a splash of isopropanol after the cut, and only then decide on the cut strength of the next step. That control check is exactly what separates a closed correction from paint that looks scratched again after the first wash.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ZviZZer","offers":[{"title":"250 ml \/ Einzeln","offer_id":57867579916623,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-ST00025010HC","price":16.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"750 ml \/ Einzeln","offer_id":57867579949391,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-ST00075010HC","price":49.84,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"250 ml \/ 3er-Set","offer_id":57882252443983,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-ST00025010HC_3","price":50.97,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 ml \/ 10er-Set","offer_id":57882252476751,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-ST00025010HC_10","price":169.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"750 ml \/ 3er-Set","offer_id":57882252509519,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-ST00075010HC_3","price":149.52,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"750 ml \/ 10er-Set","offer_id":57882252542287,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-ST00075010HC_10","price":498.4,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/zvizzer-hc-4000-heavy-cut-rot-schleifpolitur.png?v=1781632382"},{"product_id":"innovacar-f1-force-one-schleifpaste","title":"\"F1\" Force One Cutting Compound","description":"\u003ch2 id=\"speakable-headline\"\u003eTiefe Kratzer in kurzer Zeit kraftvoll wegschleifen\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cblockquote id=\"speakable-summary\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e„F1\" Force One von Innovacar ist eine silikonfreie Heavy-Cut-Schleifpaste für tiefe Kratzer und stark verwitterte Lacke.

Und nie „F1\" als letzten Schritt stehen lassen — das gröbere Korn hinterlässt immer eine feine Schleifstruktur, die ohne Finish-Politur unter direktem Licht als Hologramm sichtbar wird.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAnwendung: Hartes Pad, Kreuzbahnen, Kontrolle\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLack waschen und dekontaminieren.
