Featuring a durable mesh-hardened ABS plastic core combined with ultra-high density flexible foam, it resists wear while adapting to complex surfaces. Its innovative R5 cold air induction system actively cools the pad during use, preventing heat buildup and extending polishing time. Designed with a low profile for precision in tight spots, it securely holds all pad types with a reinforced hook-and-loop system, making it the go-to choice for detailers seeking flawless results and durability. ## Description The Chemical Guys TORQ R5 Dual-Action Backing Plate is the most advanced backing plate for dual-action machines on the market! Designed using the most innovative custom high-density foam for a durable backing that is tear-resistant, the TORQ R5 Red Backing Plate is built to last. Not only is the backing plate durable but after rigorous testing, Chemical Guys specially engineered the TORQ R5 Dual-Action Backing Plate to contain a revolutionary R5 cold air induction system. This cold air induction system spools in cold-air and releases it into the pad during polishing to reduce heat caused by surface friction. The TORQ R5 Dual-Action Backing Plate is designed with special mesh-hardened ABS plastic and ultra-high density flexible foam to resist any wear and tear from performing extended polishing jobs. The special mesh-hardened ABS plastic is very durable and allows the high density foam to flex enough to contour to the bends and curves of your surface. The low-profile of the TORQ R5 helps protect surfaces - especially when working close to vents, hood scoops, spoilers, and fenders. The TORQ R5 Dual-Action Backing Plate utilizes an adaptive high density foam that bends, molds, contours, and adapts to variable surfaces with great ease to deliver perfect results every time. The innovative design of R5 Backing Plate was aimed for the professionals, factories, and OEM grade so it can resist the harshest use and abuse. The double body hook-and-loop's durability ensures that no matter what make, style, or variation of pads you use it will securely and safely adhere to the TORQ R5 Backing Plate. All of the TORQ R5 Dual-Action Backing Plates are reinforced with Inner Stability-Struts, these stability struts are constructed utilizing steel struts that are bolted into the center hub to give the backing plate stability while maintaining a great even surface for pads. Review: Good product for polishing - Item fit on my dual action polisher and works well. Review: Great little backing plate for precision polishing - This little backing plate is nice quality and works great. Durable construction and I had no quality or durability issues with any aspect of it. I bought this to use with 3" CarPro glass polishing pads on my Harbor Freight dual action polisher (Porter Cable 7424 knockoff), and it's perfect for that application. The combination of a small polishing pad on a small backing plate allowed me to get very close to corners and edges when polishing water spots off my windows. I used a larger pad and backing plate combination to polish the vast majority of the glass, but without the small pad and backing plate I would have had to polish the corners of my windows by hand, which would be a huge amount of work. A small polishing pad and backing plate can also be helpful in polishing out light scratches in glass, as the smaller size allows you to apply more pressure to the area. I also tried the included adapter chucked in a drill just to try it out. It works just fine. For most applications I'll probably use my dual action polisher, but if you needed to polish something using a drill rather than a DA, this would allow you to do it. I suppose it could be handy for someone who just wants to polish headlight lenses or trim pieces and doesn't need a dual action movement to get the job done. ## Features - Premium dual-action backing plate.Fit Type: Universal Fit - High performance design that resists wear and tear - Designed with a lower profile to reach hard to reach spots - Evenly distribute pressure throughout the whole pad ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00OA66KKO | | Best Sellers Rank | #11,229 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #2 in Buffer & Polishing Backing Plates | | Brand | Chemical Guys | | Brand Name | Chemical Guys | | Color | Red | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,151 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00811339021747, 10811339021744 | | Item Weight | 0.05 kg | | Manufacturer | Chemical Guys | | Manufacturer Part Number | BUFLC_200 | | Model Number | BUFLC_200 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Specific Uses For Product | Automotive | | UPC | 811339021747 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Images ![- Chemical Guys, TORQ R5 Dual-Action Backing Plate, Hyper Flex, Red, 3 in | Flexible 3 in backing plate pairs small pads with dual-action polishers for spot correction and tight areas - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61YzDGrKfLL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good product for polishing *by D***L on May 13, 2026* Item fit on my dual action polisher and works well. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great little backing plate for precision polishing *by A***. on November 15, 2013* This little backing plate is nice quality and works great.

I turn wood bowls and sanding is the least interesting, but most important part of the process. I bought several of these backing plates and have attached different velcro backed grits separately to each, then labeled the yellow rim with the grit number. The flexibility of the sponge backing makes speedy work of contoured bowl shapes. I just use a standard light weight battery powered drill and rotate three batteries on two chargers to that I can sand for long periods. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ro/products/9472129-chemical-guys-torq-r5-dual-action-backing-plate-hyper-flex](https://www.desertcart.ro/products/9472129-chemical-guys-torq-r5-dual-action-backing-plate-hyper-flex) --- *Product available on Desertcart Romania* *Store origin: RO* *Last updated: 2026-09-15*
