Does the polisher come with a backing plate? Can I just use it out of the box?

No. No backing plate. It comes with a polishing pad, but it's not hook an loop.

Yes it's ready to go out of the box. If you want different pads or a wool buffing pad you will have to buy those. I suggest getting a hook and loop backing pad, a fine finishing pad and a wool polishing pad. Mine works fine

What you see in the picture is what you will use if you don't buy other pieces for this buffer. Try going to the wolfgang car care website. They will have what you need. Depending on the condition on your exterior will determine what you will need. They also have a velcro back plate that will install to this buffer and pads that will stick to the velcro. I wouldn't use the white buffer that comes with the porter cable.

Get some heavy duty, low mesh sticky back Velcro, Comes in many shapes, sizes & even a cut-to-size sheet, for like 3.00 at Walmart or here on amazon, & stick it to the backing pad that's on this machine. Same results.

There is no backing plate with this, I just received my 7424XP and had to pick the plate up from Home Depot before I could use it. The only thing included is a polishing pad.

yes - ready to go, although I ordered the package that came with some liquid polish to use on my vehicle. But even the basic unit has a foam disc and plate to get you started.

I did not use a plate. I just installed the pulls. My old pulls were similar to these. I was simply changing the finish.

Neither. You likely want a "polisher" and not a grinder. Polishers are slower and variable speed. Harbor freight has one for about $30 that will work perfectly for occasional use.

Yes... This can be applied by hand or with a polisher.... Thank you for asking. Eric

It has paper on the back of the plates. The plate is made of metal. No polish hets on your nail unless you put it there.

Yes, this comes with the screws and the backing plates. It comes ready for you to install. Takes just a few minutes. Great stuff.

Hi. You can use all kinds of polish, preferably use polish with dense consistency so you achieve a better results.When you clean the plate look like new. Polish remover doesnt ruin it.

Yes, brushes to scrub or burn in wax came with it. Pretty sure the buffing and polishing pads were included. One set of each.

As long as the backplate doesn't contact the polisher it should be fine. Apply minor pressure to the edge to see if it would touch the polisher if not you should be good.

no. but we only use hook and loop. We either buy the backup pad(at O'Reillys Auto parts store, for $15.00) Or we buy a roll of industrial strength velcro at any store and put it on the pad that comes with the polisher. Hope this helps.

Apologies Bonnie, I've never tried to do that. Guess I'm not thinking of trying to save money. I polish for commercial purposes and inlay my Art work. My polishers run 7 days a week and stop only when changing Grits or pulling finished items, Bone, Stone, Ivory, Operculum or raw Jewels :-)

Hi, you PC includes only one foam pad which IMHO is useless. You can buy some pads from here, I recommend the Hex Logic Foam Pads, there are some very good packages from Chemical Guys. You will also need a backing plate to attach those pads to your polisher, luckily you can find it on Amazon too.

Hi Meghan.The kit contains only stamping plates. You will also need a stamper, a scraper and special nail polish for stamping. These are purchased separately.RegardsAnne Irene
