5″ DA GRIP HIGH FLEX BACKING PLATE W/5/16″x24 THREADS (YELLOW) is a professional backing plate engineered for dual‑action (DA) polishers, offering a high‑flex design that conforms to curved panels while providing stable pad retention. The 5‑inch diameter matches common pad sizes and the 5/16″‑24 thread fitting ensures compatibility with many polisher spindles.
Why it matters: a quality backing plate improves pad contact, reduces edge digging, and aids in even product distribution—leading to better correction and finish quality. High‑flex plates are particularly useful when working curved body panels or blending edges.
Features and benefits: high‑flex foam or polymer layer to conform to contours, secure hook‑and‑loop surface for pad attachment, standardized 5/16″x24 threads for broad compatibility, vibrant yellow color for quick identification, and robust construction for repeated professional use.
How to use: attach the backing plate to a compatible DA polisher, mount the correct 5″ pad, and ensure secure connection. Replace when wear affects pad retention or when thread integrity is compromised. Clean pad and plate regularly to remove embedded compound.
Who it’s for: professional detailers and body shops that require reliable backing plates for paint correction and finishing tasks. This 5″ high‑flex backing plate improves control and finish consistency on complex panels.
