Product description
The flex you need from your backing plate!
The Buff and Shine 5-inch Rotary Xtra Soft Backing Plate is an extra soft backing plate designed to be flexible to contour to curved body panels. The Buff and Shine 5-inch Rotary Xtra Soft Backing Plate is meant to be used with 5 or 6-inch pads.
When you are looking to get a backing plate, it is because you are looking to get something to go with your polisher. When you're looking for a pad with a large surface area, then you need a backing plate that has the same. Sometimes you need to detail your vehicle quickly, yet still effectively. We don't all have the time or patience to detail by hand using an applicator, we need to break out the big tools.
When using 5-to-6-inch pads, you are able to cover a larger surface area in less time. Using an overlapping pattern technique, you can cover more of your vehicle's surfaces in half the time. Unlike when using a 2 or smaller inch polisher, or even working by hand applicator, you can be more confident that you are reaching all the large areas without thinking twice. Saving you time as well!
With the Buff and Shine 5-inch Rotary Xtra Soft Backing Plate you get the most flexibility you could ask for in a backing plate because of how soft the foam is. The Buff and Shine 5-inch Rotary Xtra Soft Backing Plate is designed with a foam insert between the hard plastic base of the backing plate and the face of the hook-and-loop. Why is this beneficial? It is beneficial because since the foam is flexible, it will bend and shape to the surface rather than causing you pad to stall out, lift or cause a rocky application or reduced pad contact.
The Buff and Shine 5-inch Rotary Xtra Soft Backing Plate features a 5/8 x 11 threading, which is the standard for rotary-style machine polishes. Because of this, you can be confident that your Buff and Shine 5-inch Rotary Xtra Soft Backing Plate will properly connect to your rotary polisher and won't fall off as you work.
