I'm confused, I'm trying to purchase a backing plate and a pads for a Makita rotary. On Autogeeks site they call them flexible backing plates. Does this work like a hook and loop? I have pads from my PC and want them to work for the rotary? Is there a difference between rotary pads and pc pads? I thought it was just he backing plate?

Rotary 4 Flexible Backing Plate
LC-43-125WH Rotary 4 ¾ inch Flexible Backing Plate
The 4 ¾ inch backing plate allows you to use Lake Country 6.5 inch pads, Low Profile 5.5 inch pads or our 6 inch lambswool pad with your circular polisher. The size of the plate provides an ample buffer of foam between the edge of the plate and the edge of the foam to prevent contact between the plate and the paint, even when the polisher is slightly tilted. Because the 6.5 inch pads do not have the raised foam lip like the 7.5 inch and 8.5 inch pads, this backing plate has its own raised lip of flexible urethane to act as a protective shield between the hard plastic center of the plate and the paint surface.
