    Which backing plate would be best?

    I just picked up a Rotary Polisher and was checking to see which backing plate would work better. I am using Lake Country CCS 6.5" pads and am looking at either the LC 43-125WH or LC 43-150. Which would work best on these pads?

    My personal preference would be for the Meguiar`s W-66 So1o backing plate, unless you are planning on doing extremely heavy cutting/leveling.

    If you want to stick with Lake Country, than the LC 43-150 is a great choice.

    Re: Which backing plate would be best?

    Thanks guys, just wasn`t sure about the size. I searched Google and some say the 6 and some say the 4.75. Got confused and thought I`d ask.

    It will mostly be used on my Cadillac with the Ceramic Clear Coat.........

    P.S. Meguiar`s all the way for me, I use M105, M205, M7, and M21 on her. I am trying to get us to carry the D15501 also. We are also a distributor.....

    One more question, should I follow the M21 with M26 or is that redundant?

    Here you go. She is an 06. This shot is before the Lowering Springs were put on.



    Here is a quick video of the Air Intake I worked with Spectre Performance to develop. It made 44RWHP on the dyno over stock. I am currently working on a modular pulley system.

    And a link to my cardomain page with more pics and mods so far.
