Chemical Guys TORQ R5 Dual-Action Backing Plate

This Chemical Guys TORQ R5 backing plate is built for dual-action polishers and combines a lower profile with even pressure distribution across the whole surface. What sets the TORQ R5 apart is its built-in cooling air system, which blows cool air into the pad while you polish to reduce the heat generated by surface friction. Less heat means less risk of burning your polish and a more stable result. The backing plate is built from reinforced ABS plastic mesh with high-density soft foam, which keeps wear low and extends its lifespan. The thread is 5/16 inch, fitting most dual-action machines.
