Anybody know of any good 5" rotary backing pates (5" - 5.5" will due)? I'm looking from something a little smaller to complement my 6" backing plates, as I've accumulated a few pads that are a tad too small for the 6" plate.



How's that megs 5" plate?

I can't find one either. The Meguiars BP is perfect, BUT it has that centering "button" on it. If your pads have a centering hole, the Meguiars BP will be fine.



If you find one, please let me know where.
 
Thanks. I guess I'll go with the Meguiars. Otherwise, I was going to shave down another 6" backing plate...but it always proves to be difficult to shave down perfectly concentric.
 
i have the megs rotary after the PC backing plates melted....no problem with the rotary one after more uses than the PC one....I like it on the PC (where I use it)
 
Went to the auto paint supply store today - they had the Meguiars pads and several other brands. I didn't like the "hard" design of the meguairs pad too much (not that it'll make much of a difference for what I'll be doing), so I picked up a 5"pad made by Ferro Industries Inc...looks identical to the most of the 6" modern/flexible rotary and PC pads made...only in 5". Love it. Should be perfect for final finishing on black with the 6.5" P2s; having an undersized backing plate helps prevent the corners from digging in and "rolling over" (where there typically isn't much lubrication) and inducing halograms.
