    Hook & Loop Flexible back plate vs Vented?

    Whats better? Have no clue in this department? Want to polish to remove slight swirls. I was also told to do 5.5" vs 6.5" as I am only using my DA for my Tesla. Let me know.

    I'd go with vented... I'm no Mike but I'd say physics comes in here somewhere... I use a GG6 a lot and use their vented 5" plate... no issues ever...

    to add above, here's a vented backing plate that's in the outlet store and it's only $9.99. could be had cheaper with all the sales going on...
