Frequently Asked Questions
A backing plate is the circular component that attaches between your polisher and polishing pad. It provides a stable mounting surface with hook-and-loop material to secure pads during operation. The Feynmach® Backing Plate ensures proper pad alignment and prevents wobbling during polishing work.
Backing plates are the rigid mounting components that connect to your polisher, while polishing pads are the soft foam or microfiber surfaces that contact your paint. The backing plate provides the stable foundation that allows pads to work effectively without flexing or detaching during use.
A 5 inch backing plate works best for detailed areas, curved surfaces, and smaller panels. This size offers better control around door handles, mirrors, and tight spaces where larger plates would be difficult to maneuver. It's ideal for spot corrections and intricate bodywork.
A quality polisher backing plate can last several years with regular use when properly maintained. The Feynmach® Backing Plate is built for durability with balanced construction that resists wear. Replace when the hook-and-loop surface becomes worn or if threads become damaged.
A polishing plate itself doesn't contact paint surfaces directly, making it safe for all paint types. The backing plate provides the mounting platform while your chosen pad determines paint contact. Proper pad selection and technique ensure safe polishing on any automotive finish.
A car backing plate doesn't directly affect finish quality since it doesn't contact the paint. However, a stable backing plate like the Feynmach® ensures consistent pad performance, which leads to even polishing results and uniform finish appearance across treated surfaces.
You can use a backing plate car applications on all painted exterior surfaces including hoods, doors, fenders, and roofs. It's also suitable for polishing wheels, trim pieces, and other automotive components. The backing plate enables pad attachment for any surface that requires polishing or buffing.
Maintain your wheel backing plate by cleaning the hook-and-loop surface regularly to remove pad residue and debris. Check thread condition and ensure secure attachment to your polisher. Store in a clean, dry location to prevent corrosion and extend service life.
