Backing Plates
Our new backing plates have little resemblance from previous models. Future backing plates will be made of the same basic materials except for the flexible models. We fully expect to provide a wide range of backing plates in order to satisfy every buffing requirement. This has been an exciting project and early successes have provided positive feedback to move forward with confidence. One last note of uniqueness is the fact we can private label our large standard plates. No one else in the business can offer this service.
Now, we have over 20 various backing plates available for sale. Many deal with the issue of adapting to international requirements like metric sizing. We are also improving our range of plates for Dual Action (DA) machines, these machines are becoming more and more popular because they are safe to use and minimize or actually eliminate swirl marks. No backing plate for the long throw polisher or gear driver polisher is currently available.

6" Flex Edge Grip Backing Plate
It's a new buffing world out there, even for the classic simple rotary (high-speed) machine. Some technicians have transitioned to the use of thinner buffing pads, like our Micro Fiber and Low-Pro Pads. Buff and Shine's new Thick Flexible Backing Plate is an ideal match for these and other pads. Available in three sizes for all your buffing needs. Constructed with an 1" thick polyurethane layer, the Thick Flexible Backing Plate can offer dramatically increased flexibility that can make up for the loss of flexibility that is sometimes experienced with thin buffing pads. This allows the technician who loves the performance of thin pads to also enjoy the capability of working contours in the vehicle surface that are otherwise more difficult to reach with traditional backing plates.
You will find that the Thick Flexible Backing Plate allows superior control and distribution of pressure over body style lines. It provides virtually 100% surface contact across contours while reducing the potential for damage to protruding body style edges. The highly-beveled pad edge allows for "working into" the deepest body line recesses.
The 7" diameter size is great for use with a traditional rotary buffer on larger open surface areas or vehicle painted panels like hoods and trunk lids. The 5" diameter size is great for smaller panels and those with heavy contouring. The 3" size is perfect for buffing tight areas with your favorite smaller rotary polisher (but it also works even with traditional-sized rotary buffers!). Use the 3" size for working on headlight lens restoration.
As with all Buff and Shine backing plates, the Thick Flexible Backing Plate is constructed with the highest quality materials and designed to provide countless hours of use, even with the abuse that a rotary polisher can dish out!
