Flex-Foam HD Rotary Backing Plate

Anyone have any experience with these? If so what are your thoughts? Also doe's anyone know if they make a 6" version? Anyone know when Optimums new flexible BPs are due out?

Re: Flex-Foam HD Rotary Backing Plate

I've only seen a 3" and 5" offered for sale and I have the 3". Only had a chance to try it out with my flex 3403 on one hood so far . Too early to say much about it yet.

Re: Flex-Foam HD Rotary Backing Plate

Tad, I have one and I think it works quite well. I mostly use 6.5'' pads on my rotary, so I end up using the Meg's W66 much more often than the Flex-Foam HD.

Re: Flex-Foam HD Rotary Backing Plate

Plus#1 on the W66 Dana turned my onto that backing plate . That and the 3M UK backing plates are awesome . I have the 3m red/ Yellow foam getting ready to order the Red/ Gray foam one from P.P.D.S. Since the are only available in the UK Auto Geek doesn't carry them . To bad they are awesome

PPDS is a small store that has great prices and hard to find items . You have to know the owner or else he won't even talk too you . The UK Backing Plates you have to do a google search for them 3M Uk backing plates .
