Lake CountryDual-Action 3” Backing Plate - Flexible Polishing Pad Plate w/Smooth Finish - Hook and Loop Pad Fastener - Black & Yellow Polisher Backing Plate with Inner Steel Construction

Reviewed by MR. C. Shipped fast. Authentic product. Feels very well made. Good post threads.I also ordered the Lake Country 3 pad assortment at the same time. Those look very good also.I have been buffing auto paint,, plastics, metals and refinished furniture for 48 yrs. off and on. This product is a gem for smaller areas on vehicles. The 3" backing plate fit great on my newer HF DA polisher. Only spun it by hand and appears to run true with no run out (wobble).Have a buddy's headlights to restore soon after wet sanding to remove the yellowed UV coating. This should work perfect for the final finishing.Very pleased so far. A trusted brand from my research.

There's not too much to say about a product like this, in short, it does exactly as intended. It attaches to the buffer securely and holds a pad on securely, it does both of these things with out wobble.What stands out to me is the durability and strength of this product. I use this on a Porter Cable DA, and I used it for probably 200 cars in paint corrections over 5 years time, and this thing is great and confidence inspiring. It is flexible enough to work, but never cracks or splits and the stud is very securely mounted in it. After I had a different brand backing plate explode and cause damage to a vehicle after only 6 months of use, i realized how impressive this particular one is.Out of fear of random failures, I now replaced my original with a new one of these, but its important to note the other had no issues, I just prefer the peace of mind. I'd recommend with any backing plate you replace it every few years just to be safe. But I will keep on using these, and this brand has been easy to work with and great for me!

The threaded spindle on the first one I received was not straight which resulted in a bad wobble. Unfortunately, I didnt realize it until long after the return period, and the seller was not willing to help me out. I ordered a second one since I needed it the next day and it worked great. Good product, but check it when in arrives to make sure its straight but installing it on your DA tool and give it a spin with your finger.

I bought 2 of these and they are exactly as pictured. I paired this backing plate with the Porter-Cable 7424XP DA Polisher and the Chemical guys 5.5 inch pads that come in a 3 pack with Orange, white and black pad and pad cleaner. The backing plate did exactly what it’s supposed to, it held the pads flawlessly and I had zero problems. I am completely new to using a polisher and pads to compound, polish and wax my vehicles and always did it by hand. Never again! This combo of equipment worked great and my Tahoe looks better than ever. The backing plate held up perfect and still looks brand new. I bought a second one as backup in case the plate wasn’t that durable and never opened it and from the looks of things, won’t need it for a long long time. I’d buy again in a second.

The Lake Country products are some of the better quality product available at a reasonable price. Once the pad is in place it stays in place and requires quite an effort to remove (as it should) It is sized correctly so the the edges cannot come into contact with and scuff or scrape the paint. Good Products from Lake Country

Makes it easy to change out pads

Fit my 7424xp perfectly and it doesn't damage the back of polishing pads like some other backing pads I've used. Superbly designed.

Action 1 - spin. Action 2 - wiggle. Wife's mission was accomplished as long as she's a little intoxicated. And, the backing plate worked perfectly to shine up my black car.

good product

The plate supplied was a much cheaper version of the one pictured. It was not sufficient and had to be returned. The plate itself was to flexible and not sturdy enough.

Item received is not as described, inferior quality to what is pictured on Amazon, it is not the heavier pad as advertised but the cheaper pad. Available for half the price from other sellers on Amazon
