PC from Coastal Tool with Bonus Kit-Backing plate needed?

[ZCarGuy]

I just bought a PC from Coastal Tool with Bonus Kit (including hook and loop backing pad and 6" counterwight).



I read that since the hook and loop backing plate is velcro I don't need a backing plate, just velco backed pads. Is this true?



It would save some money. THANKS!

I just ordered one today myself from there.But on a previous order I picked up a 5" flexible backing plate to go with it.I don't see why you couldn't use the one that comes with the kit for now.

I use the PC backing plate all the time(I ordered mine from coastal tool as well).



I would say that for someone who is just learning to use the PC it may be better to start with a smaller BP like the meguiars BP. The PC BP has more potential, because of its' size to come into contact with paint. I have never had a problem, but just something to think about.

It is a velcro backing plate, correct?



AND what pads do you use with it?



Thanks!

Yes, velcro.



I use the 6.5" Meguiars pads, most commonly the yellow polishing pad.
