RUPES Precision Pro Backing Plate with Screw — 5-inch and 6-inch Variants
$35.00
- Maximum Pad Adhesion:
Features a completely overhauled micro-hook system that forcefully grips 5-inch foam, microfiber, and wool pads, completely eliminating pad slip and preventing unexpected detachment during high-speed rotation. - Advanced Heat Management:
Built with upgraded, thermally resistant materials that drastically reduce heat transfer from the machine to the pad face. This prevents the hook-and-loop surface from prematurely melting or failing during intense, long-duration paint correction. - Optimized Power Transfer:
A stronger bond between the backing plate and the pad ensures more consistent rotation, superior leveling power, and reduced vibration translating through the machine.

Keep your large-throw polishers operating flawlessly with the newly redesigned
RUPES 150mm (6") High-Grip Backing Plate

Key Features & Benefits
Extreme Pad Adhesion:
The reinforced micro-hook face bites hard into 6-inch foam, wool, and microfiber pads, ensuring they stay perfectly centered and securely attached during the most aggressive cutting stages.
Advanced Heat Management:
Upgraded construction materials isolate and resist the high temperatures generated by large-throw polishers. This advanced thermal resistance ensures the hook-and-loop face will not warp, melt, or lose its gripping power over time.
Smooth, Balanced Operation:
A secure pad connection means maximum energy transfer to the paint surface, minimizing pad stalling and keeping machine vibrations to an absolute minimum.

Choose & use with care
A few details before you begin.
Check tool compatibility
For backing plates, pads and powered-tool accessories, compare size, attachment and compatible-model information. Similar appearance is not proof of a match.
Keep the process considered
Use a clean tool and the method described for that item. Test suitability discreetly where the product directions recommend it; no tool is advertised here as universally scratch-proof.
Follow the instructions supplied for the exact product. Features, limits and care directions are specific to the selected model.
Delivery, returns & support
Order preparation takes 1–3 business days, followed by 3–4 business days in transit: 4–7 business days in total. Standard shipping is free to the contiguous United States and DC, with no minimum order.
Request a return within 30 calendar days after delivery. We pay return shipping. After receipt, inspection and initiation of an approved refund take 5–7 business days.
Before you decide
Product questions
Can I use every brush on paintwork?
No. Choose for the surface and intended use stated on the specific listing. Follow the supplied care directions and do not assume a brush intended for wheels is suitable for every painted surface.
How do I select a backing plate or pad?
Check the listed diameter, attachment and compatible machine or backing-plate information. Size and fit variants are shown within the relevant product rather than treated as interchangeable parts.
How do I compare colors, sizes or configurations?
Use the options and measurements on the exact product page. Photographs can look different across screens; available choices are limited to the options actually shown for that item.
What is included with my purchase?
Check the selected product’s description and included-parts information. Accessories pictured in a use scene are included only when the listing says so.
