The Chemical Guys TORQ R5 Dual-Action Backing Plate is the most advanced backing plate for dual-action machines on the market! Designed using the most innovative custom high-density foam for a durable backing that is tear-resistant, the TORQ R5 Red Backing Plate is built to last. Not only is the backing plate durable but after rigorous testing, Chemical Guys specially engineered the TORQ R5 Dual-Action Backing Plate to contain a revolutionary R5 cold air induction system. This cold air induction system spools in cold-air and releases it into the pad during polishing to reduce heat caused by surface friction. The TORQ R5 Dual-Action Backing Plate is designed with special mesh-hardened ABS plastic and ultra-high density flexible foam to resist any wear and tear from performing extended polishing jobs. The special mesh-hardened ABS plastic is very durable and allows the high density foam to flex enough to contour to the bends and curves of your surface. The low-profile of the TORQ R5 helps protect surfaces - especially when working close to vents, hood scoops, spoilers, and fenders. The TORQ R5 Dual-Action Backing Plate utilizes an adaptive high density foam that bends, molds, contours, and adapts to variable surfaces with great ease to deliver perfect results every time. The innovative design of R5 Backing Plate was aimed for the professionals, factories, and OEM grade so it can resist the harshest use and abuse. The double body hook-and-loops durability ensures that no matter what make, style, or variation of pads you use it will securely and safely adhere to the TORQ R5 Backing Plate. All of the TORQ R5 Dual-Action Backing Plates are reinforced with Inner Stability-Struts, these stability struts are constructed utilizing steel struts that are bolted into the center hub to give the backing plate stability while maintaining a great even surface for pads.
