New Backing Plate Needed

[greg0303]

After introduction of new smaller 4" pads a year ago I realized that there's no D/A backing plate designed to go with them. W63 is strictly for use with high speed rotary buffers and S3BP should go with Unigrit System.
Those small pads make such a big difference while working in tight spaces. I personally use them every time I do a full detail. I know that Lake Country has one backing plate to use with D/A which is 3" diameter.
I wonder if Meguiar's plans to introduce new D/A backing plate to go with 8204 and 9204.

That's the one, thanks.
For now I use S3BP as W63 is too hard for D/A.

That's what I use now but it's really meant to go with Unigrit discs.
Thanks, Skipper.

Why do you think the S3BP is not good to use with DA?

I was told it's not designed for D/A buffing. Meguiar's made it for use with air D/A sander with Headlight and Spot Repair Kit in mind.
I think we need W63DA.

I use it all the time with 4" pads.

It works fantastic, no problems at all.

I use it for now as well, simply because there's nothing specifically designed for those pads.
Thanks FRS, it's good to know that you haven't experienced any problems with S3BP on 4" pads.

Hey guys
The S3BP Backing Plate is safe for use with the G110v2 Dual Action Polisher. Just select the appropriate adaptor included with the S3BP and you are good to go.

Thanks, Jeff.

I also got a confirmation from Mike Stoops that indeed S3BP is suitable for 4" buffing pads on DA machines.
