Pictures tell a thousand words, this should help you to visualize the dimensions of backing plate sizes to Surbuf MicroFinger Buffing Pads sizes.

Note: Most backing plates are under size from their stated diameter by a small amount.


This is the hook and loop side of a 6" Griot's Garage Backing plate attached to a Griot's Garage ROP Polisher.

Griot's Garage 6" Backing Plate measures 5 3/4" diameter






Note: Surbuf Microfiber Buffing Pads are not always perfectly round, the Velcro backing appears to warp their shape a little. Just want to point this out so no one panics when they go to put the backing plate on and notice his characteristic.


This is the hook and loop side of a 6.5" Surbuf MicroFinger Buffing Pad. It measures 6.5" across the diameter of the pad.






Here is a 6.5" Surbuf MicroFinger Buffing pad affixed to the backing plate on a 6" Griot's Garage ROP



Sorry for the out of focus picture, but to make sure everyone is clear, this shows the edge of the 6.5" Surbuf pad on the 6.5 measurement on the ruler.
