Rupes Replacement Cap

Constructed with an 1″ thick polyurethane layer, the Thick Flexible Backing Plate can offer dramatically increased flexibility that can make up for the loss of flexibility that is sometimes experienced with thin buffing pads.  This allows the technician who loves the performance of thin pads to also enjoy the capability of working contours in the vehicle surface that are otherwise more difficult to reach with traditional backing plates.

You will find that the Thick Flexible Backing Plate allows superior control and distribution of pressure over body style lines.  It provides virtually 100% surface contact across contours while reducing the potential for damage to protruding body style edges.  The highly-beveled pad edge allows for “working into” the deepest body line recesses.
