Apex Customs DA Polisher Backing Plates - 3, 5 & 6 Inch

Velcro Backing Plates for Apex Customs DA Polishers

Engineered for durability and heat management, these backing plates deliver reliable performance across all Apex Customs dual action polisher models. Constructed from high-grade plastics with rubber contact surfaces, they provide stable pad mounting and superior heat dissipation during extended polishing sessions.

Backing Plate Features

• Heat-dissipating design – Embedded orifices allow airflow to prevent pad overheating from friction and motor heat
• Durable construction – High-grade plastic body with rubber contact surfaces for stability and vibration dampening
• Model-specific fitment – Recessed 5" & 6" plates fit Sensei and Sensei Plus spigots; 3" plate features M8 threaded screw for Grasshopper 2.0 and Karate Kid
• Secure hook & loop attachment – Velcro surface ensures pads stay firmly attached during operation
• Multiple sizes available – 3", 5", and 6" options for different polishing applications and pad sizes

Why Heat Management Matters

Excessive heat buildup degrades pad performance, reduces compound effectiveness, and can damage paint. The ventilated design of these backing plates promotes airflow between the machine and pad, extending pad life and maintaining consistent cutting or finishing performance throughout your polishing session.
