## Description

The Chemical Guys TORQ R5 Dual-Action Backing Plate is the most advanced backing plate for dual-action machines on the market! Designed using the most innovative custom high-density foam for a durable backing that is tear-resistant, the TORQ R5 Red Backing Plate is built to last. Not only is the backing plate durable but after rigorous testing, Chemical Guys specially engineered the TORQ R5 Dual-Action Backing Plate to contain a revolutionary R5 cold air induction system. This cold air induction system spools in cold-air and releases it into the pad during polishing to reduce heat caused by surface friction. The TORQ R5 Dual-Action Backing Plate is designed with special mesh-hardened ABS plastic and ultra-high density flexible foam to resist any wear and tear from performing extended polishing jobs. The special mesh-hardened ABS plastic is very durable and allows the high density foam to flex enough to contour to the bends and curves of your surface. The low-profile of the TORQ R5 helps protect surfaces - especially when working close to vents, hood scoops, spoilers, and fenders. The TORQ R5 Dual-Action Backing Plate utilizes an adaptive high density foam that bends, molds, contours, and adapts to variable surfaces with great ease to deliver perfect results every time. The innovative design of R5 Backing Plate was aimed for the professionals, factories, and OEM grade so it can resist the harshest use and abuse. The double body hook-and-loop's durability ensures that no matter what make, style, or variation of pads you use it will securely and safely adhere to the TORQ R5 Backing Plate. All of the TORQ R5 Dual-Action Backing Plates are reinforced with Inner Stability-Struts, these stability struts are constructed utilizing steel struts that are bolted into the center hub to give the backing plate stability while maintaining a great even surface for pads.

Review: Good Plate - Ready to Use Out of the Box - 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality product holds buffing pads securely

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great little backing plate for precision polishing
*by A***. on November 15, 2013*

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.
