Product brand: Rupes®
The details
Option: RUPES® 980.720/C New Precision Pro Backing Plate 5" Backing Plate W/Screw – iBrid Cordless HLR15 and Corded LHR15 Mark V 5" Polishers ONLY
Upgraded RUPES High-Grip Backing Plate (125mm / 5") – For LHR15V & HLR15
Experience unmatched pad retention and thermal stability with the newly redesigned
RUPES 125mm (5") High-Grip Backing Plate
. Specifically engineered as a crucial upgrade for the newest generation of BigFoot polishers, this backing plate solves the weak hook-and-loop adhesion issues found on early-release Mark V and iBrid models. Upgraded with a heavy-duty Velcro system, this plate delivers the legendary, rock-solid grip you expect, matching the reliable holding power of the classic LHR15 Mark III.
Key Features & Benefits
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.

Option: RUPES® 981.720/C New Precision Pro Backing Plate 6" Backing Plate W/Screw – iBrid Cordless HLR21 and Corded LHR21 Mark V 6" Polishers ONLY
Upgraded RUPES High-Grip Backing Plate (150mm / 6") – For LHR21V & HLR21
Keep your large-throw polishers operating flawlessly with the newly redesigned
RUPES 150mm (6") High-Grip Backing Plate
. Designed specifically to handle the massive 21mm orbit of the newest BigFoot polishers, this upgraded plate completely resolves the weak hook-and-loop adhesion issues found on early-release Mark V and iBrid models. By integrating a highly resilient Velcro system and advanced thermal protection, this 6-inch backing plate delivers extreme pad holding power, keeping your abrasives locked in place even under the heaviest loads.
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
Select tools around the area you are working on: bodywork, glass, wheels or interior trim. Follow both the tool and surface-care directions.
For backing plates, pads and powered-tool accessories, compare size, attachment and compatible-model information. Similar appearance is not proof of a match.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Check the selected product’s description and included-parts information. Accessories pictured in a use scene are included only when the listing says so.
