High quality piece, made in Switzerland. Unfortunately it is very expensive, but on the long run it is worth the price IMO. Here in Hungary most polishers have the M14 thread, but this was a 5/8, which is a tad more expensive than the M14. And because it is rare here I had to order it specially - which was quite a bit adventurous (couple of months!), but finally it is here; I mean, actually there. At least I have good 3M connections now...

The Scholl Concepts polishes are used here in Hungary at the Audi plant in Győr, and in the Suzuki plant which builds Suzuki and Fiat models. They are working together with other car manufacturers, who are using SR ceramic finishes.

Interested to hear the feedback on the polishes.

That backing plate looks awesome. Can't wait for that to be a little bit easier to attain.

Re: What was in the box??????

baseballlover1, no I'm not a retailer and don't have a website.

The 3M backing plate is available in Hungary, and when someone saw a pic in a thread about Paul Dalton, asked that what kind of BP is that. I replied to the poster telling that I have the exact same BP and it is a 3M product.

It is rare, because here basically no one uses a machine with a 5/8 thread. 3M Hungary didn't have it on stock.

Re: What was in the box??????

I bought one M14 and three 5/8 plates for Nica. He tried to acquire it via 3M USA and Canada, but he wasn't successful. They knew nothing about it.
