Dual Action Polisher Backing Plate

Dual Action (DA) Polisher Backing Plate — Vented • Balanced • Hook & Loop

The D-TAIL LAB DA Backing Plate is built for smooth, controlled correction on long-throw and standard random-orbital machines. A vented, heat-managing core and premium hook-and-loop face keep pads cooler and firmly seated for consistent results and longer pad life.

How To Use

1. Mount: Install the backing plate on your DA polisher per the tool’s manual. Snug securely.
2. Center the pad: Press a clean pad onto the hook-and-loop face, centered edge-to-edge.
3. Prime & spread: Apply 3–4 pea-sized drops of product; spread on speed 1–2.
4. Work the section: Increase speed as needed. Keep the pad flat; use slow, overlapping passes with light, even pressure.
5. Maintain: Clean or swap pads frequently to keep cut/finish consistent and temperatures down.

Notes: Match plate size to pad size (5" plate → 5–5.5" pads; 6" plate → 6–6.5" pads). Avoid excessive pressure on edges and body lines. Always follow your polisher manufacturer’s guidance.
