6 INCH ROTARY BACKING PLATE

Say hello to flexWORKS - the new evolutionary backing plate from Chemical Guys. Much like the smart kid on campus flexWORKS keeps a low profile, 1" low profile to be exact.

By staying thin flexWORKS does more than simply look cool when compared to fat overweight backing plates. flexWORKS is designed to be thinner and lightweight. Don't be fooled by its size, it's quite tough. If you look close, it is easy to see we sent flexWORKS to the gym. flexWORKS has an anodized aluminum 5/8 threading backbone that is though where it counts.

By reducing weight, the all new flexWORKS backing plate can be accurately balanced to reduce vibration while buffing.

By lowering the spine of flexWORKS backing plate we also lower the machines center of gravity closer to the surface of the paint which delivers more accurate buffing results while reducing vibration that is usually transferred to the body. 

Less vibration does a lot :
delivers better more accurate results
makes any buffer easier to manage and handle
reduces wear on the machine 
greatly reduces fatigue
reduces wear and tear on the machine

Did we mention that the flexWORKS backing plate is flexible?

The Chemical Guys Evolve R4 backing Plates were a complete evolution in backing plates - the Backing Plates that adjust where you need, when you need it, the first adaptive pad that bends, flexes, adapts and adjusts. Evolve R4 backing Plates Move With You and are specifically designed to adjust, collapse, and conform to variable surfaces for easy and transitioning from flat to contoured surfaces.

The new flexWORKS backing plate adapted the same accurate flexing technology while lowering the machines center of gravity.

For years machines and pads decided for you what kind of a surface you could work on. Some pads work great on flat surfaces but not so well on curves and rounded fenders. For years manufacturers would claim, You can't have your cake and eat it too, but what if you could? What if there was a backing plate that would take the heat for you when you get into a tough situation? 

Ideal for use with all Rotary Machines using 5/8 x 11 threads: Flex L3403VRG, Flex LK603VVB, Makita 9227, Metabo PE12-175, Dewalt 849, and Hitachi SP18VA or any 5/8 x 11 threaded machines.
