Chemical Guys TORQ R5 6-Inch Dual-Action Backing Plate with Hyper Flex Technology – Red

Overview

Meet the TORQ R5 6-Inch Dual-Action Backing Plate with Hyper Flex Technology, a premium component designed for professional polishing workflows. Built around a high density foam core and a mesh-hardened ABS hub, this plate flexes with curves while maintaining a stable contact patch for consistent results.

Cooler Polishing, Better Control

The R5 includes an innovative cold air induction system that draws in cool air and releases it into the pad during polishing. This helps manage surface friction heat and keeps the pad feeling cooler across longer sessions, so you can work with sustained control.

Adaptive Foam for Contours

An adaptive high-density foam bends and molds to variable surfaces, delivering even pressure across the pad. Its low-profile design makes it easier to reach tight corners, vents, and edge lines without sacrificing handling or precision.

Durable Construction for Extended Use

The backing plate uses mesh-hardened ABS plastic for durability while maintaining the necessary flexibility to follow curves. Inner stability-struts, steel components bolted into the center hub, add stability and help preserve a smooth, even contact surface during heavy polishing jobs.

Pad Compatibility and Secure Attachment

The double body hook-and-loop system ensures secure pad adhesion, and the compact profile aids surface protection when working near vents, scoops, and other features. This design supports a wide range of pads and machines with reliable performance.
