    lake country or ?

    I have a Harbor frieght DA but i want to change the backing plate. So am thinking of going with the Lake Country 5'in bp and gettting the 5.5'in flat pads by lake contry as well.

    Good choice or any other suggestions?

    If Lake Country did anything similar to what Meguiar's did with theirs, then the backing plate is cut/designed/from the same cloth as their pads. Which will make for a better, tighter, longer lasting grip on the pad.

    Meguiar's had a problem with their Microfiber pads back in their infancy, the pads were getting a reputation for coming apart. More succinctly, they were overheating and falling apart. The engineers at Meguiar's took it to task, got their heads together, and figured out that it wasn't so much heat on the 'face' of the pad, but moreover between the pad and backing plate, (inside the Velcro itself). So they redesigned the pads, and made the backing plate an entire system, then came out with a new improved pad that was built to be PART of the "Microfiber Correction System". Since then they've not had the failures they had in the beginning. And to boot, the "system" is an absolute dream to work with.
