Lake Country Dual-Action Backing Plate, Flexible Plate with Hook-and-Loop Fastener, 3 Inch, Black and Yellow with Inner Steel Construction

This backplate worked perfectly for using the 7 inch foam pads by Meguiars. It provided great support out to the edges of the pad and allowed for accurate placement and pressure. I would recommend this highly if you are in need of a backing plate this size.

This doesnt look a bit like the Lake Country backing plate that I bought from a well known online auto care site. Although neither of them have a manufacturer name on them, the one from the specialty site is thicker and has 6 rivets. Since that site is recommended by people who are really into car care, Im pretty sure they are selling the real thing and that this is a cheap imitation. I gave it 2 stars because I suspect this will work OK, but it sure appears that it was misrepresented and I dont appreciate that one bit.

Fast shipping. Works great.

Wonderful product!! Received it !! Attached it to my porter cable and went right to work!! Have not one complaint and will purchase another when the time comes!!

My original Porter Cable backing plate finally disintegrated after 14 years. These Lake County backing plates are a favorite among detailers so I gave this a try. Right away when installing on my buffer, I could see that it was defective. When I turned the disc by hand, it had about 1/8 inch of runout. My suspicions were correct when I put a pad on and tried polishing. Because the backing plate was crooked and not balanced, the buffer shook violently when operating. I returned this baking plate and bought an original replacement a Porter Cable.

Just what I needed to make my Porter Cable a dedicated 3 DA

I damaged my Griots buffer using to much pressure while cleaning ceramic tile ( I know not what is designed to do), but this was a perfect replacement.

Just what I needed

Perform great

I used this with the PORTER-CABLE 7424XP 6-Inch Variable-Speed Polisher and Orange Light Cutting CCS Smart PadsTM Da 5.5 Inch Foam Pads -3 Pack. Works as it should. Perfect.
