Although the Meguiar's S6BP 6" Backing Plate has proven to be superb, the all-new Meguiar's Soft Buff 6" D/A Backing Plate is even better.  

Build quality abounds.
Six rivets attach the mounting stud (5/16-24 male thread) to the internal rigid composite plate, assuring that the backing plate will not be easily damaged due to an unfortunate drop. The beefed-up design also ensures long term durability, and balancing.

The specialized injection-molded foam has been designed to deliver just the right amount of firmness; yet, it is comfortable when used on complex shapes, such as curved panels, hood bulges, bumper covers, and fender flares. Dual white stripes printed onto the backing plate label enable the user to easily gauge the amount of random backing plate rotation generated during use. Micro-hook Velcro really holds on to all varieties of buffing pads, and has proven to be remarkable long lasting.

Optimized for use with all Meguiar's 6" buffing pads.

Engineered for use with Meguiar's Unigrit™ Sanding System.

 10-10-2016 Note:  DISCONTINUED.
Please consider using the updated DBP6 instead.

Although this plate was painstakingly designed to optimize the performance of Meguiar's Unigrit™ Sanding and Foam Finishing Discs, it is an outstanding choice for use with any sanding disc or buffing pad.

The face and flared edge of this plate is soft and pliable. Consequently, it ranks among the best available for sanding curved or complex surfaces. If you need a little help keeping the disc level to the surface while you sand, its built-in pliability can help better distribute uneven applied pressure.

The micro hook attachment material is ideal for use with sanding discs because the hooks will not protrude beyond the loop backing of most discs (a common cause of pigtail scratches when soft backed sanding discs are used).

Whereas most D/A backing plates use three or four mounting studs to attach the mounting stud to the plate, this one features six, so the S6BP can handle rigorous, long-term use.

This is a plate chock full of features, making it one of our most popular sellers.

One of our best sellers, and for good reason! For starters, this plate features more flexibility than its vinyl backed counterpart (Mirka #106).

The medium density polyurethane foam used as the core of this plate is firm enough to level substrates, but thanks to its flared edge, conformability is good when used on curved surfaces.

Mirka's backing plates are manufactured using a top quality molded polymer construction. This means that the black hub, yellow foam center, and white face are molded together, not glued.

Each plate is balanced to eliminate vibration, so you can work comfortably.

This plate features a soft urethane core that is 9/16" tall, so it's a perfect choice when contouring ability is a must. This is not a flimsy plate, and should last a long time. It feels nice, and works equally well with sanding discs and buffing pads.

At 146 grams (5-1/8 oz.), this plate is heavy compared to plates featuring a similar diameter. The weight can be a plus if you are replacing a larger diameter plate in hopes of using smaller diameter discs or pads (such as when using the currently popular Dynabrade Dual Action Buffing Head).

Mirka's backing plates are manufactured using a top quality components.

This particular backing plate is designed for use with Abranet® and Autonet™ discs. It features 52 vacuum holes and is designated as "soft", so it contours to complex or curved shapes quite well.

The face of the plate features a hook material that has been specifically designed for Abranet® and Autonet™ discs, but it works well with virtually any loop-style sanding disc.

Mirka's Abranet HD Discs are stout. They're so tough, they can be used as grinding discs!

To keep them from slinging off at high RPM, you'll want to use this plate. The large-hook attachment material is also ideal for use with non-woven discs, such as Mirka Mirlon, Mirlon Total™, and 3M Scotch-Brite™ discs.

This is a stiffly-backed plate, and is rated for speeds up to 6,000 RPM.

The medium density polyurethane foam used as the core of this plate is firm enough to level substrates, but will give a small degree.

It does not have a sharply flared edge, so it has less give than its hook-backed counterpart (Mirka #106GG). The added edge height means this plate can take quite a beating.

Its vinyl backing material is very durable, so it can handle a lot of disc changing.

This backing plate was originally introduced as an integral part of the Meguiar's So1o™ One Liquid System, but it performs incredibly well when paired with the majority of foam or wool buffing pads available today.

While it can be difficult to find the proper balance between flexibility and firmness, this plate hits the mark.  Credit must go to the carefully shaped, engineered foam center. 

In addition, the specialized foam has been optimized to minimize the potential for pad-induced swirl marks.

Increased comfort, superior results, and quality throughout.

My new favorite rotary plate!  The WRSBP Soft Buff 6" Rotary SOFT Backing Plate (actual diameter: 6-1/4") offers up plenty of support for 6", 7", and 8" diameter buffing pads. Designed to minimize the potential for pad-induced swirl marks, it is remarkably comfortable to use. Cushiony material allows the buffing pad to conform easily to flat or curved surfaces, thus minimizing the potential for grabiness of the pad, pad hop, and pad chatter.

The WRSBP's molded design is virtually indestructible, while its micro-hook face attaches strongly to pretty much all Velcro-style buffing pads (yet pad removal remains a breeze).

Pair with Meguiar's Rotary Foam Pads, or Meguiar's super low profile DA Foam Discs.

Increased comfort, superior results, and quality throughout.

Meguiar's has made this model of backing plate for many years, but this is an all-new design. Durability is top notch, thanks to its sturdy one-piece molded construction.

As before, it features a pad alignment plug (located at the center of the face), making it a snap to align buffing pads that utilize a centering hole.

The face of the plate is firm with a minute amount of cushioning, virtually guaranteeing a smooth feel while polishing.

The outer edge has been finessed to allow increased contourability of the pad when used on complex surfaces, or for those times when the pad must be tilted on edge for targeted buffing.
