Machine Polish and Protect in one hit with Koch P6 | Review First Impressions

[@ForensicDetailing]

Some further comments since filming. a) the protection side of the product is a bit sort of short lived and not that hydrophobic b) dont hammer the product too hard or it can gum up so work it gently and dont introduce too much heat. other than that once you get up and running I find it a nice product to work with and I like it. Add your thoughts below please.

[@aaron-jd1ds]

Huge gap in the market is someone could actually make a really good machine polish that had a half decent level of protection

[@boothmeister6024]

It's a great product on the right paint, although I agree that the protection side isn't fantastic. It's a nightmare on soft paint though as it flashes instantly when you spread it out. To be honest, the F6 is just a better product all round.

[@mikebader3863]

Have you tried the equivalent Rupes product? Uno protect I think it’s called… seen some glowing reviews about that, again though not sure about the level/longevity of protection it provides

Sounds great for people using it in the trade i.e. it’s in the professional line for professionals doing paint correction on lots of cars where you can’t take ages and ages but can offer and cut and finsh with protection for a customer. At home i’d go with M3 to finish it out

[@rea2605]

I do like your presentation style, easy for a rank amateur to get to grips with.

[@McKav]

Thanx for this. Was puzzling over the 'letters' & nos. Of KC. Made it totally understandable. Excellent explanation 🇦🇺

[@dougmoonshine]

i used this as my first attempt to polish my cars. found it very easy for a beginner to use, and to wipe off. results were impressive. the sealant isnt that effective so i panel wiped and used something i knew worked. the paint on my e46 seems to be quite thin so i have just purchased M3 02 to try.

[@deanlevett888]

Great video John. I like koch stuff, use the water spot remover all the time, had a dark grey Volvo, and have hard water in our area, with FSE it takes the marks off with ease.

[@mpsloan08]

I've used this myself on my daily (e61 530d with 195k miles) I was trying it out as a potential for doing single stage enhancements. Great cut/correction but the sealant is poor in my opinion, lacking decent hydrophobicity. I used it with the specific KC pads. I managed the whole car with only two pads. it's a nice product to use but i will just use a pure abrasive followed by an additional sealant instead

[@danieldiamond7790]

I've been using all the Koch polishes but for an all in one zvizzer one is my favorite. Great looking gloss but relatively expensive, supposedly due to the same reasons as the Koch AIO here with the whole higher quality and higher percentage of abrasives spiel.

[@sam0275]

I’ve always understood that Zvizzer wee made by Koch not Menzerna. They behave much more closely for sure.

I don’t need to heavy cut as I’ve done it already on our VW Transporter. I’m going to order the FSE as well due to our water in Oxfordshire.

i like the flex purples and oranges for 90% of of polishing. hard green can be usefull as can ultra soft red but purple and orange what I use most times. check out the koch range of pads too because they are very high quality.

[@Geeky_detail_reviews]

@@ForensicDetailing no problem it’s all in my basket. Would you suggest adding M3 also?

[@owensteele1274]

Seems a bit overkill on my New Formula Red Honda S2000 paint since I used their (now old) M2.02 polish on it followed by their very good W0.01 paste wax to protect it. And to get a mirror finish on rock-hard BMW clear coat is a fantastic achievement, well played Jon! I must order up some P6 to see for myself on my brother's Orient Blue T-plate E38 735i. I'll buy 2 x 250ml BECAUSE VERY BIG CAR compared to mine. After I've extended the polish shelf in my bike shed!

[@OQDetailing]

I used this product and as far as results I really liked the, but for me it would dust very quickly even at 3.5 speed and short cycle on an extremely overcast day with no visible sun outside. I basically had to go over the car again with a quick detailer to make sure I didn't leave any dusting I could have just used a regular polish/compound and followed up with long lasting spray wax instead and would have been a better experience. So because of the dusting I would never purchase again.

[@yourname6732]

I used the M3 on my car couple weeks ago, followed by tacs system moonlight. Both were a dream to work with. Considering it was my 2nd attempt at polishing my car

[@OnlineHousehusband]

What product do you recommend for a single stage painted classic car? So no lacquer. Be interested to hear your thoughts. 👍

[@ForensicDetailing]

Something oily. Koch will be fine but Scholl us good on single stage paints

[@OnlineHousehusband]

@@ForensicDetailing I find that as there is no lacquer it marks so easily and shows the finest micro scratches under LED light....very annoying

[@MrMcol2012]

This and Zvizzer One are my go-to for ‘budget’ stuff where the customer wants a machine polish at a certain price point. Typically trade jobs, polishing after overspray removal or “make it less sh*t” jobs

[@mpoppe]

Was your car protected by ceramic coating?

[@paulhamilton6013]

It’s a good product that gives good cut, I find Rupes Uno Protect easier to use, not as gummy and easier to remove, but slightly less cut. IMO Uno works best with blue/yellow wool.

Yup. Just commented the same thing.

Feeling this would be good for a quick one stage quick buff if your topping up through the year. Tempted to cover it again with something f to give it some longevity. For clay and panel wipe effort I may want to spend that extra time with a better longer lsp.

[@archiebishop5422]

Can you try Roar products. We had a rep come in to our college to demonstrate vehicle refinishing. And from my testing of g3, meguiars, auto finesse, auto glym. This roar product was a joy to work with.

[@archiebishop5422]

I've been polishing for a couple of years at an intermediate level but this product did seem the dogs b*llocks

[@Audittr2108]

I suppose where this type of product comes in handy is a quick whizz round with a polisher on neglected paint for a decent enhancement in little time.

[@3261carl]

What would be your preference this or the Scholl S20 ? I used Scholl after your recommendation yrs ago and it’s fantastic.

[@ForensicDetailing]

S20 is pure abrasive this is aio. But I use f6 from Koch. But ironically S20 ranked higher in my comparison test. So I don't always follow my own bids. I just like Koch abrasives.

You can apply wax 9n top but then you will see beading if wax not sealant but that's ok

[@waynefromnewfoundland8740]

Great explanation of Kock polishes. When I first started becoming more “involved” in detailing, I used Menzarna polishes. Another great product line. But this summer I invested in a new 5” Rupes DA. And in that process, I switched to their matched system. New revised pads and polishes.Gotta say, it works well. It made maintaining my car easy and for the lack of a better word, fun. I always enjoy your videos Jon. I always learn something new. 👍🏻

[@evdokios]

Would you say its better than Scholl - S20 Black 1-Step Compound?

[@ForensicDetailing]

S20 is pure abrasive not and aio

Does it make sense to apply solid wax or P1.01 after P6.01?

[@user-sc9ss1wl1m]

Hi Jon. I’m planning on polishing my 3yr old black car this weekend with hex pads. Would you go for h8 then f6 then m3, or h8 and then m3? Or f6 and then m3? I could also use s20 but this time as it’s the first time polishing the paintwork I’d do multiple stages.

[@ForensicDetailing]

I can't answer this m8. You need to assess the paint in person. But h8 then M3 will always work

[@Moonbase-jh6wn]

Hi John, how would you compare this to 3d speed .. also dose it leave white marks on black plastic trim ? Thanks

[@ForensicDetailing]

dont let any abrasive dry on black trim or rubber mate. I think the abrasive quality of this is second to none. But P6 the protection is disapointing mate its hard to know its there. 3d speed looks electric with the montan wax. Put it this way Ive kept both.

Hi, I recently bought a new 2022 Lexus GX460 (a Land Cruiser Prado everywhere else in the world) and I made a mistake by not telling the salesman I didn’t want it washed, just because I had previously bought a new car at that dealer that was near flawless. I found myself watching your video of P601 after a recommendation I received for this exact polish from a detailing forum where I asked for a good one step with photos of my Lexus’ paint. Lexus paint apparently is very very soft and scratches at just the presence of a dry microfiber. I noticed showroom detail guys going at it on another car in the showroom with dry microfibers and no spray detail. It’s not devastatingly swirled/marred but for a new car is horrendous. I ordered a liter of P601, and HexLogic Quantum green pads for my friends Torq machine polisher. I’ve never used a machine. Any tips especially for dealing with the soft paint? I read your update not to introduce to much heat, now that I’ve received my P601 it seems like I’m reading more negative reviews then positive. Ultimately I chose it because you seemed to like it well and most people praised it as a better version of Sonax perfect finish (which was my first choice).

[@stemc9243]

Hi Jon, you probably get this question alot but what would your go to single stage cut and finish be and then your go to finish polish with next to zero cut, I can not choose between koch and menzerna thanks. I should add that the paintwork is lightly scratched on a 3 year old bmw

I use P6 for customers that are not willing to pay anything extra for a protection but want a 1 step process with some extra pop in gloss and not worrying about protection. It works well for a few weeks. Other than that, H9, F6 and M3 are the ones i use daily and not going to change it. Took sometime to get used to KCx products but they deliver what ever the task is.
