What makes TORQ R5 awesome
Finer Finishes in Less Time
Hyper-Flex Technology enables the TORQ R5 backing plate to flex and conform to every curve and contour of your vehicle’s surface. That means there will be maximum contact and a finer finish in less time than traditional backing plates. Plus, the R5 uses specialty air channels that funnel in fresh air to help cool the backing plate, machine, and pad for reduced wear during long polishing jobs.
A Perfect Size For Every Job
Use the right size backing plate for the job. The 3” backing plate is ideal for small and hard-to-reach areas, and the 5” backing plate is a versatile workhorse that strikes a perfect balance of coverage and focused cutting power. Go with the 6” option to cover the largest surfaces areas in the shortest amount of time. The TORQ R5 Backing Plate fits any rotary polisher or drill attachment that accepts 5/8’’ - 11 spindle accessories with the hook and loop system.
