Double sided wool waxing polishing buffer pad does not need a backing plate.Instead,the pad attaches to the polisher using a extender bolt. The extender bolt screws into a rigid plate in the center of the pad. This plate is surrounded by a soft edge that prevents marring on contours and curves. Because the adapter is positioned in the middle of the double sided wool waxing polishing buffer pad, vibration and wobbling are eliminated. Operator fatigue is reduced and the results on the paint are more uniform.
