    Backing plate question

    Can I use the Griots Garage vented backing plate with the Lake Country, Buff and Shine, Meguiars Microfiber pads without any issues?

    I don't see why not. I don't have a GG backing plate, but do have other vented backing plates and never had a problem with the pads you mentioned.

    I remember when Meguiars were having issue with there microfiber pads delaminating when using another manufacturer backing plate.

    Which vented backing plate are you using?

    I never had a problem with the Griots BP with any type of buffing pad.

    Thanks for the replies everyone!

    My main concern was delaminating and the hook and loop not sticking together good.

    Yes.

    Any "micro hook" plate will work with any pad loop.

    It's the plates that have the taller "j hooks" that you want dedicated to their pads, like Buff and Shine, and I believe the original Griot's 6" plate.

    Re: Backing plate question

    I was more interested in the 5" Griots vented backing plate or another Lake Country plate.

    If I want to mix and match pads with backing plates, then I should stay away from Buff and Shine and the original Griots backing plates.
