What is the correct polishing pad for theChemical Guys 6" backing plate. Pads are either 5.5" or 6.5, not a perfect fit. Which is best?

I would keep away from Chemical Guys products. Experience is something you get after you needed it.

I was also wondering this same question!!! I had already purchased some 6.5" pads and realized that I also needed to get a new backing plate for my new DA Polisher! I am relieved to have discovered the consensus to be to buy the 6.5" pads with this backing plate!!! Whew!!! Thanks for asking this question & thanks to all the helpful answers!

I purchesed the 6" backing plate and the set of 6.5" pads. This combo works just fine and the Chemical Guy's pads do a nice job.

6.5" pad. You want some over lap on your pad because you don't want the edge of the backing plate to come in contact with the paint.

6.5 seem to work better even though they are little larger than the backing pad. The larger buffing pad keeps the backing plate from touching any part of the vehicle.

I only have the H2o so I don't know, sorry. You might try measuring your mop and checking the specifications of the pads.

These pads are about 6" in width. The length is about 26". They fit on a regular 24" plate with some overlap necessary to reach corners and fully cover the plate. Thank you for your interest in our products.

I can't tell what the question really is. Patent numbers probably will not answer this person's needs. If it were me I would order the correct sized brushes from Koblenz (i.e. thru Amazon). I purchased a koblenz polisher from Amazon last year. It has the same size brushes, pads ,etc. as a polisher I owned 20 years ago and attached the same way. If it doesn't fit/work return to Amazon.

The box does say 7" polisher, however my personal feeling is that the tighter the bonnet ... the less slippage. But not so tight that the thing rips apart. So as the other replier states ..he uses a 6 1/2" bonnet and if it works ... why not?

Easy part first: Yes, this model is a hook surface. Hard part: If your polisher has its anchor above the surface of the pad, i.e., you can see a screw holding it onto your spindle, then NO, it will not fit. This item is designed for orbital action that uses a "soft center", i.e., the cushioned material covers the entire pad surface. If this describes yours, it attaches underneath the dust skirt and requires a very thin-profile wrench (which should have come with your polisher.) Hope that helps. . .

I currently am using the Meguiar's 6.5 inch pads. If you needed to, 7 inch would work.

Get 6.5. It can always be cut down. Also make sure you get the right width.

I would use the pad they recommend whcih is the ultimate polishing pad. You can also call Paul from marble gloss restorer and he will give you great advice. The product works great. you will need a lot of elbow grease.

If you are going to use the velcro backing pad included with the polisher , use the 7" pads. I ordered the Meguiar's 6.5" foam pads like was suggested , and they are too small.

Yes, the backing pad is included. The polishing disks stick to the backing pad with Velcro.

It won't work very well. Polish pads are a bit more dense to get the polish to work and break down into the paint. The wax pad is very gentle and won't scratch the paint. Just wash them after using and they should last a long time. They aren't that expensive as far as pads go. I use mine on a DA and rotary buffer with a 4" backing plate and haven't had any trouble with the black, yellow, or red pads. This should be your solution - no emailing required.

The size is 4-1/4 - inch by 4-1/2 - inch. It is not 5.7 x 4.4. Maybe some other brand is but not this model sander pad. Oh yeah, it fits perfectly !!!

Hello! I am not familiar with the Neiko polisher but I think that these buff pads would work with any polisher that has a velcro base attached to the spindle. I believe the pad base supplied with these pads will spin on to the threads of any 5/8" spindle. The 5/8" spindle is common on most automotive electric polishers. hope this was of some help to you. Sorry if it wasn't - Jason

THERE IS A 6" somewhere in the mix I saw while I was looking for the 5" and the screws do come with the 5" so I'am sure the six will too.

If you've an early (2001ish) Toyota Tundra you should be sure you are getting the correct size pad. They made a pad upgrade (5.25" I think) that was on all the later Tundras but some early ones (like mine) have the smaller (4.75") pads.

Measure your old ones. If close to the ones shown then Ok! These pads are great
