Your cart is empty.The 6 inch backing plate for dual action polishers. Nothing holds pads better than hook and loop flexible backing plates. Backing plate actually measures 5-3/4 inch so it perfectly lines up to almost any and every 6 inch pad just right. Chemical Guys Dual-Action Flexible Backing Plates minimize heat transfer, while it flexes just enough to contour to your car's bends and curves. These backing plates are built tough. Ideal for use with Porter Cable 7424 Dual-Action Polisher, Chemical Guys heavy hitter DA, or ultimate detailing machine.

Fit my porter cable polisher easily. 2 seconds to install, Velcro backing is excellent and hold pad secure. You need a backing plate anyways so get this one. Top quality so it won’t fall apart when you use it and damage your car...and a reasonable price

These seem like better quality than my old backer from years ago. Goes on the PC 7424. The velcro is solid and sticks well to my pads.This time, I ordered 2, because my old backer (other brand) decided to disintegrate while detailing, so I was stuck finishing the job with the stock PC pad. Don't get caught, I recommend getting at least a coupe if you do a lot of detailing.All in all, great quality, I think better than the competition, I guess time will tell. Worst case, I can come back here to modify my review. :)

Bought this item before I read the reviews and then became concerned that it did not have the threaded section to attach the backer plate to the polisher. However, what I received was perfect right out of the box - ready to attach to the polisher, no additional parts needed.While the picture does not show threads, the black nipple shown on the backer plate is a protective cover over the threads! It pops right off. This is a nice touch such that the threads are not damaged during shipping or handling. Another nice touch is that it comes with two washers - don't throw these out! Use theses washers as spacers when one attaches the pad to the polisher - it gives extra space for the tightening wrench to get in between the pad and the polisher.This backer pad also has a couple of other features that make it a nice backer:1) The rigid plate on the polisher side is smaller around than the pad that came with the polisher. This allows the plate to be a bit more flexible at the edges for working curved areas.2) The body of the pad is a more flexible material than the OEM backer plate. Again - better for working curves.I am not sure why OP had an issue - perhaps they got a defective piece or another model that requires an adapter. I found an adapter on ebay priced at $3 plus $3 shipping and picked it up so I could buy any backer pad in the future.So bottom line: Good backer plate, comes ready to use, has some nice features, good deal! Would buy again.

This little backing plate is nice quality and works great. Durable construction and I had no quality or durability issues with any aspect of it.I bought this to use with 3" CarPro glass polishing pads on my Harbor Freight dual action polisher (Porter Cable 7424 knockoff), and it's perfect for that application. The combination of a small polishing pad on a small backing plate allowed me to get very close to corners and edges when polishing water spots off my windows. I used a larger pad and backing plate combination to polish the vast majority of the glass, but without the small pad and backing plate I would have had to polish the corners of my windows by hand, which would be a huge amount of work. A small polishing pad and backing plate can also be helpful in polishing out light scratches in glass, as the smaller size allows you to apply more pressure to the area.I also tried the included adapter chucked in a drill just to try it out. It works just fine. For most applications I'll probably use my dual action polisher, but if you needed to polish something using a drill rather than a DA, this would allow you to do it. I suppose it could be handy for someone who just wants to polish headlight lenses or trim pieces and doesn't need a dual action movement to get the job done.
