5" BACKING PLATE

Achieve professional, swirl-free automotive paint correction with the genuine Makita 197923-2 5" Hook & Loop Backing Plate. Specifically engineered as the direct factory replacement for Makita Dual Action Polishers—including the PO5000C corded and DPO5000 / XOP02 18V LXT cordless models—this precision-balanced plate handles both forced-rotation and free-orbit modes without excessive vibration. The high-durability hook-and-loop face grips 5" and 5.5" foam, microfiber, and wool polishing pads securely, preventing slippage during high-speed compounding. Formulated with a tough composite core and flexible urethane edges, it conforms smoothly to automotive body lines while protecting delicate trim and badges from accidental contact.
