5″ and 7″ Backer Pads — Rigid or Rubber

A backer pad is what your polishing pad rides on — and the right one makes the difference between even contact and a patchy finish. Our backer pads come in 5″ and 7″ to match your polishing pads, in both rigid and rubber (flexible) options, so you can match the backer to your floor.

Rigid or Rubber — Which Do You Need?

• Rigid backers keep the pad flat for even contact — best for flat, level floors
• Rubber (flexible) backers flex slightly to follow minor contours and undulations — better for uneven floors and edge/contour work

Matching the backer to your surface gives you even pad contact, a more consistent finish, and more even pad wear.
