HOW TO USE:

1. Inspect Your Polisher: Ensure your rotary or dual-action polisher is turned off and unplugged before attaching the backing plate.
2. Attach the Backing Plate: Align the 5/8" x 11 threaded arbor of the Hi-Tech Industries VP11 backing plate with the spindle on your polisher. Twist the backing plate clockwise until it is securely tightened.
3. Select Your Buffing Pad: Choose a 7-inch to 9-inch buffing pad (foam or wool) that has a loop (Velcro) backing appropriate for your detailing task (e.g., compounding, polishing, finishing).
4. Attach the Buffing Pad: Align the center of your chosen buffing pad with the center of the backing plate's hook surface. Press the pad firmly onto the backing plate, ensuring the loop material fully engages with the hooks for a secure fit. If your pad doesn't self-center, use the included pad centering pipe if available.
5. Begin Polishing: Once the pad is securely attached, you can plug in your polisher and begin your detailing process, ensuring the pad remains flat against the vehicle's surface for even pressure.
