Our best backing plates
for circular polishers.

We learned about these backing plates from talking with paint consultants to BMW, Munich and Mercedes-Benz, Stuttgart. We located the manufacturer of these Flexible, Molded Urethane, Backing Plates in Europe and are delighted to be able to offer them to American car care enthusiasts. These are the same backing plates being used by BMW, Mercedes and other German automakers in their assembly plants and are considered to be the finest backing plates available.

Advantages of Flexible, Urethane Backing Plates:

- The VELCRO® brand fastening material is molded into the plate eliminating delamination.

- The flexible edge reduces spontaneous heat build-up when transitioning from flat to contoured surfaces. These plates are recommended for compounding, polishing and finishing "soft" German clear coats.

- Vastly reduced heat transfer keeps motor heat from being transferred to the paint surface.

- Plated steel threaded insert will not cross-thread.

- Reinforced inner construction uses steel struts molded into the center hub for superior strength.

- Beveled outer edge allows easy pad removal and replacement.

Always use the recommended size backing plate for the sized pad you are using. Never use a backing plate that is larger than the foam pad or disc.

Use this 6-1/8 inch Flexible, Urethane Backing Plate, with our 6.5 & 7.5 inch Advanced, Constant Pressure pads, and the Green Giant Polishing Pad. This plate contains a centering plug for precise pad alignment.

The 5/8-11 inserts fits professional circular polishers allowing quick and easy pad exchanges.

Note: When you use the 6-1/8 inch backing plate with any of the 7.5 inch pads mentioned above, you will think the plate is too large for the back of the pad. It isn't. Center the plate's plug on the pad's center hole and work the edge of the pad around the plate with your fingers. It will fit the pad like a glove. Most domestic backing plates are not this precise but this is the way the plate is designed.
