*_Sonax compounds have very good cut and a low dust rate. If you haven't tried CutMax then you are missing out. Cheers from most beautiful Bangor, Maine._*
YES!! You finally did them! I love this brand! You get very high quality products for a relatively cheap price. You get a lot of product. Like Pw (protector wax) has a micture of 1:100. So you get 100L of products. This is a spray detailer. It costs $50 for 1L I also like Green Star, Pol Star and Leather star! These 4 products I use all the time and they are top of the line products!
German engineering at its best! Koch have a rock solid line of products, all at a very good price too! I love their Pol Star textile cleaner, smells kinda' like rainbow sherbet and its keeps my alcantara looking black and fluffy after 80,000 mile! Keep up the great work Jon!
Nano magic plastic care and green star on my next order. Another great video on all counts. I think this brand is actually one of the best all rounded ones out there. Very strong line up from top to bottom unlike some of the other brands. Thanks for a great video. We really do appreciate all the time and effort you put into the making and editing of them👍🏻
This might be known to you, but just FYI if you don't: The professional product of the retail "NanoMagicPlastCare" is the "PlastStar Silikonölfrei", which I use all around the car for rubber seals and all plastic parts (i.e. bumpers, inside of wheel arches, grille, engine bay dust-down, and may even be used on tires). You may notice that the product cleans the seemingly clean rubbers/plastics even more, and leaves a deep black matte finish when buffed over. As mentioned in the vid, it does seal the plastics only for a short period of time (i.e. beading), but it will stay black for quite much longer.
I really enjoyed this one! Your brand reviews are some of your best stuff in my opinion as I really trust your word on the products and helps sift out the crap. This was much more old school forensic detailing 🤙🏻
Bloody good review John.. 👍🏼 I’m a big fan of Koch Chemie products and in particular their abrasives, Fse and their glass cleaner, which I find the best on the market for streak free verses clarity. Great viewing and always a joy to watch. Looking forward to the detailing and correction of the Bemmer... 👍🏼👌🏼
Just used Koch Chemie Green Star at 20:1 via pump sprayer today for the first time very impressed John, keep up the epic honest reviews. This is the place to come for a detailing fix loving the channel..
Hi, I tried the FSE Finish Spray after Your Recommendation, Its Brilliant! Tried on Bumper full of the dead flies, its magic it removed the dead flies very easyly.
Nice review,as always...there are a lot of good products out there,it is so hard to choose...and I would like to try them all but that isn’t possible.Reviews like these make it easier to decide which ones to buy...Thanks Jon.
great review Jon! i only use Koch products! xD they are greay and cheap! if you buy in bulk! as i do :) the Nano magic shampo is great! leaves a bit of protection and actully lasts a while! :D and i actuly use it right before i polish a car, makes the drying proses so much easier! :) had to edit this! you are missing a couple of products that they have that is really fantastic to! wheel cleaner: Felgenblitz is great! comes in 10l and can actuly be used the same way as Korosol and RRR. dirt cheap! prewash foam: Vorreginger B is also a great produkt that is better then any other prewash foam that i have tried! and loads of others! their range of products are just insane xD
Haven't used any of Koch Chemies products except the fse. The fse is great. Removes water spots and gives the car a nice wet glossy finish which i wish i could show a picture of my car to show the results. Also good to see you with the Slim's detailing adjustable stool. Whats your thoughts on it as i recently cleaned my car after 4 months and messed up my back so something like a stool would be good to prevent you bending your back when cleaning. Need to give Slims a visit again :)
Liking the 80s themed music Jon, want more of that 😁 Koch Chemie is one I need to try in future, GS especially. Brilliant as always and keep it coming 👍
10:51 Novel way of filling up your bucket - pissing in it. I've just invested in some Koch Chemie compounds and polishes. Heard great things, so going to see how they fair against Sonax, my go-to products.
Just ordered 250ml of M2 aswell as Carpro Reflect, literally 15 min before I saw your video on FB. Menz 3500 or 3800 have been my finishing polishes for too long. Time for a change. One thing I hate about these bottles though is the caps. Always get dried compound in them. The Carpro one looks better for that
Great video as usual, the green star is the only product I have used from the range and it’s brilliant, I even done a short comparison review on the DW forum site.Then I paid £10 for a litre so I thought it’s quite expensive, but five quid for such a great product is very cheap, The most impressive think was the cleaning power of the product
10 quid a litre is still cheap mate considered its concentrated. theres like pre mixed APC's out there for like 13 quid for 500ml :( 5 quid is bargin price though
actually you think about that price 5 quid litres. bottle and label has to cost 50p? price to get it over from germany. And koch have to sell this to the distributors, distributors sell it to the resellers. I dont think its possible to go cheaper than a fiver a liter. koch must be seller it for like 2 quid a litre or somethings... hardly any margin in it for the guys selling this product. It really should be abouit 10 quid.
Forensic Detailing Channel yes five quid is very cheap by the way have used it 5 to1 as a pre-wash and there is very little left for the shampoo after use of the green star
I see that you are washing the car in the baking sun, the roof is actualy steaming!! din't you have any stains when you rinsed it down? The finish afterwards was amazing btw!
I used FSE to remove the water spots. it was a wierd day, because it was cold, only like 10-12 degrees, its early spring here in the UK. but yer the sun warmed the panel temp up. It was less steaming but because it was actually cold in the air but warm on the panel it seems to really promote the the water vapour. In some of the other footage it looked like the car was was on fire..
That explains :) i've done a bit of research on the brand and it seems they realy got there sh*t together! thank you for making the video, it made me a bit easier, also with your Angelwax video, to not stick with Chemical Guys now overhere in Belgium.
Evening Delboy, I find ag tyre dressing spray to work pretty decent on my ps4's, still on the look for a dressing that I like. I see you found the thicker chinese wash mitts, got one coming that looks like the flexipads punk, can't wait to try it out.
Great review Jon. I had a quick question which is completely off topic. I wanted to ask you what wheel cleaner is the safest and best to use on diamond cut alloys? I've heard acid based wheel cleaners can damage the lacquer on the diamond cut. Any help/advice would be much appreciated. Cheers.
Im covering this soon in a wheel video. You want to avoid caustic cleaners. sodium hydroxide , hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid. Ideally you could just use detergent shampoo.. If you need more cleaning power than that. Go with Surfex HD by bilt hamber thats totally non caustic by has great surficants and again ethoxylated alochols. Green star would be the next step up in agression while still being safe. When you step up beyond green star in terms of agression you will typically start finding the caustic components in there (to be fair maybe at very low levels)...
Forensic Detailing Channel thanks for the advice. I bought some bilt hamber auto wheel cleaner recently, but I've not used it yet. Shampoo works quite well; however, sometimes additional cleaning power is required. Look forward to the video on wheel cleaning. Keep up the good work.
Amazing video. Where can you find green star for £5 a litre? Seems to be double that where I’ve looked, pretty much the same price as FSE. Many thanks.
Thanks for the review. I just discovered the products and use the gsf mixed with gs for prewash (live in Sweden with tar and salt on the car during the winter). What shampoo do you recommend, with ceramic coating/wax or should I apply the coating separately?
Hi John. New subscriber here who is enjoying your channel. I like to look after my wife's red golf and my black Passat but I don't have hours to spare these days (2yr old and new baby coming)so could you please review and compare some all in one products like Autofinesse Triple or Carlack Complete. Thanks ,James
12:19. You washing the car under the sun and the water is steaming on the roof lol...Nice review other than that, i have a few products and im very plseased. I have the H9 01 heavy cut , P2 02 Micro cut finish and SO 01 wax. I have used them on my car and i love them but i wanted to ask you if i can use them on my boat as well on gelcoat. Also is it wrong to use SO 01 wax after applying P2 02 ? I watched the whole video but english isnt my language so i didnt understand well what you said about that (im sure you said something) ! Thanks.
Great vid, just one question , i just got myself 1ltr of the auto finesse citrus power and was wondering if the green star is just a cheaper version of that?
citrus pre wash will use citric acid as well as other detergents. And citric acid is an effective chelating cleaner (like lots of acids) great at attacking slid contamination like soap stains or mineral spots etc . Greenstar uses alkaline cleaners and ethoxylated alcohols so its more of a degreser, will have more of a disolving effect on grime and dirt. so you will still want a good citrus cleaner in your arsenal. green star isnt quite the same thing
Can anyone give a comparison between the Koch Chemie micro cut polish vs Sonnax? I keep hearing great things about Koch Chemie and that it rivals Sonnax.
koch abrasives are the best on the market. Or let me say it like this. you can get results with lots.. some will say this is better thats better. we all have opinions. but H9 F6 M3. Cant really go wrong. part of the reason I like koch over sonax and scholl is the simplicity of the range as well. Scholl have 4 products all called S2.
Have you had the opportunity to mess around with their Active or Super Foam Jon? The US just got their Active Foam so I'll be testing that against Touch Less
Hi John, I like all of your videos. Only if I may give you a little advice of pronunciation, as "'ch"" in koch, is pronounced " h" as in ''hot'' in english. Alternatively, you can you google translate to hear how to pronounce it. Thanks Again.
Always watchable Jon. As Koch Chemie have so many great products, shame you limited it to the common few, which some you have been reviewed already. KC have many other products that are quality and often much cheaper than the common ones pushed. Just an opinion, you could have made 2 even 3 vids and introduced some of the other excellent products they do. Slims have much more and will get whatever you want also, I am sure they are the main agent?? JH at Slims will help get anything he has not got for you too. Best kept secret in London.🤙🏻🤙🏻
we had a fair few really when you go beyond ten it becomes too many.. some will want more some will kind of want less.. but your right theres so much more in their ranges to explore
Totally understand that Jon, not I was not being negative. I just thought as KC is not as well known as the better advertised, it might have been a good contender to make maybe 2, 3, or more even. It’s very well established, more so than many pushed. KC is has a very big proven quality wide range of options.
defo tats your feedback is always spot on, and your right as well. there are so many other things in the range that would have been cool to explore. the 1k nano will trickle out later on and also I have those koch pads the cutting cutting pads are 4.95 each so keen to try them out.. just so hard to condense the reviews even with say 10 products.
Killacamfoo O.G. I also need an answer to this. Been really wanting to try FSE and Green Star as well as their abrasives. Haven't had any luck yet though.
Did you ever get to use the 1k nano sealant john ? Don't think i have seen a video where you have tested it, just interested thats all, as someone suggested to me recently that it's really good, but not cheap.
When you are doing product line reviews, it would be nice if first you went over which products were the highlights of the brand to you and would be most beneficial to try. Given that there are so many different brands, and everyone seems to have one of each type of product - it’s hard to pick from the millions of offerings
your right yes. I have always done this at the end but its kind of the point of the video. I just think if I put it at the beginning peeps might ignore the rest and miss products.. this was an old school type of video thats way to long for you tube.. but thats the story of FDC :)
Hi, I recently bought GS and Fse but I want to know if the fse strips wax or sealant, I am going to polish the car with Scholl S40 and top with Menzerna Power Lock, do you know if it can strip the menzerna sealant or any other wax product ? thanks.
Hi Jon. I saw your "glaswipetool" 14min in the video and would like to ask if and were you can buy it. I only have a plastic soft version thats useless. Great video as allways!
Hello sir, please i.already brought the green star. I can use.it as an apc for interior use plastik, vinul dashnoards e.t.c?? it is ok??? It leaves residue???? Kind reegards
I personally would not use it for interiors.. but honestly at 30-1 or even 40-1 for dash wipeovers and stuff you could. probably wouldnt use it on leather
@@ForensicDetailing The Koch Chemie PolStar Textile Cleaner could be the thing to use on leather. Mixed at 10-1 it took all, and I mean all, of the shine off the seats and steering wheel in my S2000, and my Dad's BMW 330e. It is also a light cleaner for plastic trim as well so it's very safe and definitely brings back that desirable OEM look. It has a very slight fruity smell so it is for use inside the car.
QUICK QUESTION - firstly, thank you for this John, was wondering about Koch at my local retailer. If you wash you car with their Nano Magic shampoo, which probably has some waxes in it, can you put a sealant on, such as Turtle Wax Sealant? Will it bond properly, as it's also a mix of carnauba and synthetics, or do I have to apply it to bare paint only?
Great review - as always :) I've a question (not relating to Koch Chemie products) just out of interst - where did you get that wash bucket bracket where you put aside brushes etc from?
i will talk about those bucket things soon lot of peeps asking about that.. but you can search for like rubber sink saddles and you will find loads of them
What about the wax stripping properties of Green Star? I love this APC but I am somehow concerned of using it as a prewash for a car that has any kind of protection.
stay tuned to main channel to see that it makes no real difference in real world. literally you cannot strip protection products you can just degrade a tiny % faster. I will show you this soon.
it definetly wont strip it, very hard to measure the difference of what it does to it. but in theory I think greenstar would hit a wax layer harder than like shampoos and stuff. although it wont mask it. You can drop the concentration down perhaps to 15:1 to counter this.
В аннотации же написано под солнцем не мыть. Я думал только Русские руководство не читают. Но оказывается ошибался. А это значит, что мы очень похожи. Кох супер система. Спасибо.
Which of these products can I use? There are some minor scratches, such as door handles and some scratches due to nails. Note I want to use it by hands, not using the machine! Is P1.01 enough? Please help and advice.
you wont correct those sort of scratches by hand with any of the products featured in this video memo. and even using a hand scratch polish would be very very hard work... if your interested in removing mild scratches you need to learn how to machine polish mate.
marios that type of product query needs to go to koch mate. Im just a random you tuber, their staff will at least get payed to answer the support questions.
Great video as always. I do have 1 constructive observation. As I have no desire or skill to do machine polishing, having the machine abrasives in the middle of the video, i had to scroll through. Maybe do machine products at the end?
fair play could do that.. actually what Im gonna do right now is a sticky post with like hyper links to all the products so peeps can find what they need. cheers good feedback mate
as safe as any water spot remover really dave. Ive hurled strong acids at ceramic coatings to test them, you wont strip them. FSE is a very low concentration of acid so yes it will be safe to use on ceramic coatings.
none really.. It doesnt leave any bonding components behind. Its using some PDMS maybe quats based stuff. So it will leave gloss on the paintwork.. but dont think of FSE as leaving protection really saul.
I wouldnt use greenstar in a lance personally. from what I see greenstar doesnt need to dwell on the surface.. so you spray it on give it a second.. and blast it off. autofoam is a powerfull foaming pre wash thats best use in a lance for me. both of these products are class leading.. I wouldnt be without either. BH is more a dedicated prewash. greenstar is more of a multipurpose exterior cleaner that can be used as a prewash.
megs is great but its more water based carrier so you cant work it the same. you need the carrier to be working.. once megs starts drying up you have to end the set.. saying that though 105 205 combo can get you results just as good as the koch products. they are high quality compounds in the meguiars range but perhaps just a tad dated now (not sure if they have updated them at all recently?)
its not often Bilt Hamber gets done on value. you tend to pay a fair price for surfex and it mixes down well.. But you can get a litre of greenstar for half the price and I sort of mix it down a similiar way... so green star gets the 5 star value award and prolly edges it for that reason.

Nice, any review on Sonax range?
*_Sonax compounds have very good cut and a low dust rate. If you haven't tried CutMax then you are missing out. Cheers from most beautiful Bangor, Maine._*
Haru Yamagucci do you feel CutMax has more cut than H8.02 on harder clears?
So for a 6 month old black car that some nump has washed and swirled... The purple one? Or the yellow one?
YES!! You finally did them!
I love this brand!
You get very high quality products for a relatively cheap price.
You get a lot of product. Like Pw (protector wax) has a micture of 1:100.
So you get 100L of products. This is a spray detailer. It costs $50 for 1L
I also like Green Star, Pol Star and Leather star!
These 4 products I use all the time and they are top of the line products!
German engineering at its best! Koch have a rock solid line of products, all at a very good price too! I love their Pol Star textile cleaner, smells kinda' like rainbow sherbet and its keeps my alcantara looking black and fluffy after 80,000 mile! Keep up the great work Jon!
Nano magic plastic care and green star on my next order. Another great video on all counts. I think this brand is actually one of the best all rounded ones out there. Very strong line up from top to bottom unlike some of the other brands. Thanks for a great video. We really do appreciate all the time and effort you put into the making and editing of them👍🏻
Love the appearances of your little helper. She’s going to have a spotless car once she’s old enough!
This might be known to you, but just FYI if you don't: The professional product of the retail "NanoMagicPlastCare" is the "PlastStar Silikonölfrei", which I use all around the car for rubber seals and all plastic parts (i.e. bumpers, inside of wheel arches, grille, engine bay dust-down, and may even be used on tires).

Been waiting for a good review on koch chemie, great work mate! Always informative, always entertaining!

Great vid,Every Koch Chemie product I have tried I have been impressed.
great review Jon!
i only use Koch products! xD they are greay and cheap! if you buy in bulk! as i do :)
the Nano magic shampo is great! leaves a bit of protection and actully lasts a while! :D
and i actuly use it right before i polish a car, makes the drying proses so much easier! :)
had to edit this!
you are missing a couple of products that they have that is really fantastic to!
wheel cleaner: Felgenblitz is great! comes in 10l and can actuly be used the same way as Korosol and RRR. dirt cheap!
prewash foam: Vorreginger B is also a great produkt that is better then any other prewash foam that i have tried!
and loads of others! their range of products are just insane xD
the range is just insanely huuuuuuge. I looks at what slims were offering and took a subset of that was just too much to cover really.
Looks like a solid product line, nice back story.
Nicely demo'd. I like the look of the Nano Magic Plast, will be good to see how that performs on my 13 year old trim 👍
Haven't used any of Koch Chemies products except the fse. The fse is great. Removes water spots and gives the car a nice wet glossy finish which i wish i could show a picture of my car to show the results. Also good to see you with the Slim's detailing adjustable stool. Whats your thoughts on it as i recently cleaned my car after 4 months and messed up my back so something like a stool would be good to prevent you bending your back when cleaning. Need to give Slims a visit again :)
Awesome review as always. Im currently on In2Detailing ordering a few for the porker and family wagon.
Loving the 80s style music
IT smells great to, h820 has a wonderfull cutting! Great review Johnny 👍🏼
The Rock what’s it like compared to Scholl s3?
if you know how to use h8, scholl s3 does not stand a chance!
Jan-Roger Kviteberg So How to use it?
Oooh I see Clean and Shiny on your whiteboard....thank you for mentioning them once on one of your vids....wicked place for tons of stuff!
Enjoyed the practical cuts aways on this one. Would be interested to hear your thoughts on EZ car care.
I have just recently started using Koch, so thanks for you time and explanation.
Thank you John. Fantastic review.
Iv used sonax excut 05-05 it’s a heavy cut 5/6 gloss 5/6 can remove 1500 and leaves a very good finish for one step on hard Audi paint
This was a great brand review! These are definitely some top notch products.
Liking the 80s themed music Jon, want more of that 😁 Koch Chemie is one I need to try in future, GS especially. Brilliant as always and keep it coming 👍
They have many solid products, I especially love pol star and fse detail spray, saves a lot of time not having to avoid water spots.
Using Green Star with Foam Sprayer, awesome stuff
10:51 Novel way of filling up your bucket - pissing in it.
I've just invested in some Koch Chemie compounds and polishes. Heard great things, so going to see how they fair against Sonax, my go-to products.

_Koch Chemie is by far the better brand. Profound products!!_
Haru Yamagucci I love Gs and Fse. Both my go to products in their respective categories. Never tried their compounds though
Koch Chemie just looks and sounds like a superb brand. Leave it to the Germans to always make awesome stuff!

Just used the fse on my mineral grey bimmer really impressed . Quality product 9quid for litre ,no brainer .
Koch chemie have high quality,solid and excellence!
The best on the market!!!
Apart from Bilt Hamber
Your little girl is outshining your review buddy.... great job.
Koch Chemie discussion group now on Facebook lots of useful comments, photos and advice.
I see that you are washing the car in the baking sun, the roof is actualy steaming!! din't you have any stains when you rinsed it down? The finish afterwards was amazing btw!
I used FSE to remove the water spots. it was a wierd day, because it was cold, only like 10-12 degrees, its early spring here in the UK. but yer the sun warmed the panel temp up.

I think you should make your own detailing products 👍
If Green Star is alkaline does it mean it will strip wax/sealants off the car?
What’s the best among the lineup that clean the car screens from scratches and Hard spots??
U need glass polish. Soft 99 glaco compound. Nothing will remove scratches thougb
Evening Delboy, I find ag tyre dressing spray to work pretty decent on my ps4's, still on the look for a dressing that I like.
I see you found the thicker chinese wash mitts, got one coming that looks like the flexipads punk, can't wait to try it out.
Would you use Pol Star on the paint work as a waterless wash? Given that it's pH neutral?
I not used it m8
Why does Koch have two different styles of branding? Their periodic elements style branding is excellent.
pro and retail range kind of i think
Great review Jon. I had a quick question which is completely off topic. I wanted to ask you what wheel cleaner is the safest and best to use on diamond cut alloys?

Great video as always
Would you if it’s coming to Australia
Great product
Amazing video. Where can you find green star for £5 a litre? Seems to be double that where I’ve looked, pretty much the same price as FSE. Many thanks.
see description mate. both those prices sell it for 5.15 a litre
Brill - many thanks! I'll get some ordered :)
What about kotch medium cut as a 1 step on hard paint but instead of a medium cut pad use heavy cut pad hered people doing that
Thanks for the review. I just discovered the products and use the gsf mixed with gs for prewash (live in Sweden with tar and salt on the car during the winter). What shampoo do you recommend, with ceramic coating/wax or should I apply the coating separately?
Seperate m8

koch abrasives are the best on the market. Or let me say it like this. you can get results with lots.. some will say this is better thats better. we all have opinions. but H9 F6 M3. Cant really go wrong. part of the reason I like koch over sonax and scholl is the simplicity of the range as well. Scholl have 4 products all called S2.
@@ForensicDetailing Thank you good sir!
Have you had the opportunity to mess around with their Active or Super Foam Jon? The US just got their Active Foam so I'll be testing that against Touch Less
No m8
@@ForensicDetailing good stuff, hope all is well Jon. Guys like you are the ones who are pushing the detailing community forward 👍
Hi John,
I like all of your videos. Only if I may give you a little advice of pronunciation, as "'ch"" in koch, is pronounced " h" as in ''hot'' in english. Alternatively, you can you google translate to hear how to pronounce it. Thanks Again.
Always watchable Jon.
As Koch Chemie have so many great products, shame you limited it to the common few, which some you have been reviewed already. KC have many other products that are quality and often much cheaper than the common ones pushed. Just an opinion, you could have made 2 even 3 vids and introduced some of the other excellent products they do. Slims have much more and will get whatever you want also, I am sure they are the main agent??
JH at Slims will help get anything he has not got for you too. Best kept secret in London.🤙🏻🤙🏻
we had a fair few really when you go beyond ten it becomes too many.. some will want more some will kind of want less.. but your right theres so much more in their ranges to explore
Totally understand that Jon, not I was not being negative. I just thought as KC is not as well known as the better advertised, it might have been a good contender to make maybe 2, 3, or more even. It’s very well established, more so than many pushed. KC is has a very big proven quality wide range of options.
defo tats your feedback is always spot on, and your right as well. there are so many other things in the range that would have been cool to explore. the 1k nano will trickle out later on and also I have those koch pads the cutting cutting pads are 4.95 each so keen to try them out.. just so hard to condense the reviews even with say 10 products.
Do they have a US distributor? I've never been able to find the stuff.
Killacamfoo O.G. I also need an answer to this. Been really wanting to try FSE and Green Star as well as their abrasives. Haven't had any luck yet though.
Hi for my m240i would f501 with an orange pad suffice for 1 stage. Or should I use a green pad for the one stage? I think orange?
Did you ever get to use the 1k nano sealant john ?
Don't think i have seen a video where you have tested it, just interested thats all, as someone suggested to me recently that it's really good, but not cheap.
Very good review.Did the beemer come down from Aberdeen or did you get it there.
John, where can I get those buckets hangers at 11:00? Been looking for ages trying to find them
When you are doing product line reviews, it would be nice if first you went over which products were the highlights of the brand to you and would be most beneficial to try. Given that there are so many different brands, and everyone seems to have one of each type of product - it’s hard to pick from the millions of offerings
your right yes. I have always done this at the end but its kind of the point of the video. I just think if I put it at the beginning peeps might ignore the rest and miss products.. this was an old school type of video thats way to long for you tube.. but thats the story of FDC :)
Hi, I recently bought GS and Fse but I want to know if the fse strips wax or sealant, I am going to polish the car with Scholl S40 and top with Menzerna Power Lock, do you know if it can strip the menzerna sealant or any other wax product ?
thanks.
Hi Jon. I saw your "glaswipetool" 14min in the video and would like to ask if and were you can buy it.
I only have a plastic soft version thats useless.
Great video as allways!
yo jimmy its from halfords mate
Have you ever used hartwachs s0.01 item?
How should I use it? After waxing or before waxing?
Thanks
Dear Sir
Could you tell me which other German brands are in the market for detailing products . Regards
is the All round quick shine suited for Black Piano interior trims ?
yes nm8
Hello sir, please i.already brought the green star. I can use.it as an apc for interior use plastik, vinul dashnoards e.t.c?? it is ok??? It leaves residue???? Kind reegards
I personally would not use it for interiors.. but honestly at 30-1 or even 40-1 for dash wipeovers and stuff you could. probably wouldnt use it on leather
Forensic Detailing Channel thank you sir.for.your.responce. Can you.please tell.me.what your favor.interior.APC for use???? Kind regards
@@ForensicDetailing The Koch Chemie PolStar Textile Cleaner could be the thing to use on leather. Mixed at 10-1 it took all, and I mean all, of the shine off the seats and steering wheel in my S2000, and my Dad's BMW 330e. It is also a light cleaner for plastic trim as well so it's very safe and definitely brings back that desirable OEM look. It has a very slight fruity smell so it is for use inside the car.
eurochem qfx 101 is cheap £8.40 for 5 ltrs
QUICK QUESTION - firstly, thank you for this John, was wondering about Koch at my local retailer. If you wash you car with their Nano Magic shampoo, which probably has some waxes in it, can you put a sealant on, such as Turtle Wax Sealant? Will it bond properly, as it's also a mix of carnauba and synthetics, or do I have to apply it to bare paint only?
I dont know the answer to this question..
What about f5 as one step on medium and soft clear
Why you do not use 2 buckets method when you wash the car?
what is good for remove water spots from cars?
Great review - as always :) I've a question (not relating to Koch Chemie products) just out of interst - where did you get that wash bucket bracket where you put aside brushes etc from?
i will talk about those bucket things soon lot of peeps asking about that.. but you can search for like rubber sink saddles and you will find loads of them
Thank you! Keep those amazing videos of yours going - I really appreciate your time and efforts in doing so :)
What about the wax stripping properties of Green Star? I love this APC but I am somehow concerned of using it as a prewash for a car that has any kind of protection.
stay tuned to main channel to see that it makes no real difference in real world. literally you cannot strip protection products you can just degrade a tiny % faster. I will show you this soon.
@@ForensicDetailing didn't expect any answer. Thanks!
What about the ceramic coating? Is it as good?
Hi Jon. Hope you're keeping well. Quick question about Green Star. Is it safe to use on a waxed surface or will it strip it?
it definetly wont strip it, very hard to measure the difference of what it does to it. but in theory I think greenstar would hit a wax layer harder than like shampoos and stuff. although it wont mask it. You can drop the concentration down perhaps to 15:1 to counter this.
В аннотации же написано под солнцем не мыть. Я думал только Русские руководство не читают. Но оказывается ошибался. А это значит, что мы очень похожи. Кох супер система. Спасибо.
Which of these products can I use? There are some minor scratches, such as door handles and some scratches due to nails. Note I want to use it by hands, not using the machine! Is P1.01 enough? Please help and advice.
you wont correct those sort of scratches by hand with any of the products featured in this video memo. and even using a hand scratch polish would be very very hard work... if your interested in removing mild scratches you need to learn how to machine polish mate.
its not in th states yet ive been doing my research for there polishes
nope its not scott. Its something Koch are looking at and hopefully there will be some movement on this soon.
My dear sir, i am trying to find the uses for the product KOCH CHEMIE FW
can i use it as a paint prep? or wax sealts remover,
thanks
marios that type of product query needs to go to koch mate. Im just a random you tuber, their staff will at least get payed to answer the support questions.
Hi Jon. Can I ask where did you get the black rubber bucket organiser thingy from @ 10:30...many thanks.
see 10 detail hacks video mate its linked in there i think.. its a sink caddy you can find on ebay or amazon
@@ForensicDetailing Thanks mate will do.
Hey that thing/container you have in the bucket where do you buy that?
Look for a twin sink saddle on eBay 👍🏻
lot of peeps are asking about this you can find them on amazon ill do a video soon with some usefull things I like that are very cheap
Forensic Detailing Channel thank you
Great video as always. I do have 1 constructive observation. As I have no desire or skill to do machine polishing, having the machine abrasives in the middle of the video, i had to scroll through. Maybe do machine products at the end?
fair play could do that.. actually what Im gonna do right now is a sticky post with like hyper links to all the products so peeps can find what they need. cheers good feedback mate
Thanks for the reviews, just wondering if fse is safe to use on ceramic coatings? I have cquk
as safe as any water spot remover really dave. Ive hurled strong acids at ceramic coatings to test them, you wont strip them. FSE is a very low concentration of acid so yes it will be safe to use on ceramic coatings.
Forensic Detailing Channel fantastic. Thank you mate
Just bought the H9 is it as good as the H8 ?
Hey, what detail brush are you using?
Thanks for all you bring but you show them products an when I try to get them in the us it's to much shit
I dont think theres a US distributor for Koch.. Ill speak to them and try and find out what the score with that is.
What kind of protection/durability you can get with FSE?
none really.. It doesnt leave any bonding components behind. Its using some PDMS maybe quats based stuff. So it will leave gloss on the paintwork.. but dont think of FSE as leaving protection really saul.
Green star or Autofoam when considering cleaning power and price?
I wouldnt use greenstar in a lance personally. from what I see greenstar doesnt need to dwell on the surface.. so you spray it on give it a second.. and blast it off.
autofoam is a powerfull foaming pre wash thats best use in a lance for me.
both of these products are class leading.. I wouldnt be without either. BH is more a dedicated prewash. greenstar is more of a multipurpose exterior cleaner that can be used as a prewash.
Whats the cut like with H9 compared to old school Megs 105?
megs is great but its more water based carrier so you cant work it the same. you need the carrier to be working.. once megs starts drying up you have to end the set.. saying that though 105 205 combo can get you results just as good as the koch products. they are high quality compounds in the meguiars range but perhaps just a tad dated now (not sure if they have updated them at all recently?)
@@ForensicDetailing ah my megs 105 and 205 bottles are just about empty. What would you recommend as a combo for similar performance? H9 and M3?
Whats the music at the start?
16:48 i've never seen this technique
How would you rate Green star vs. Surfex HD?
its not often Bilt Hamber gets done on value. you tend to pay a fair price for surfex and it mixes down well.. But you can get a litre of greenstar for half the price and I sort of mix it down a similiar way... so green star gets the 5 star value award and prolly edges it for that reason.
How long does fse last
