    Yes, Carlos, it's been a while since you teased us with your order pics... and now your dinner made me very hungry...I bet it was delicious!!!

    By the way, let us know how you like that towel, (the sooner, the better), I've been having my eye on it ever since Ben started carring it...And with US dollar gaining it's value back up, really wanted to use the chance to try out Rubbish Boys OE, and that drying towel

    Thank you very much.

    That little backing plate looks interesting. What size is it and where do you find pads to fit something that small?

    Are you guys using the foam backed plates for polishing? What is the theoretical advantage? I can only see putting a foam pad on another foam pad dampening the action of the machine and giving the user less control. Is this another “it’s only available in the UK so it must be good” product? Correct me.

    For me, I feel the foamed BP's provide more play with the pads being used. It's more forgiving when it comes to polishing body lines and curves. When I used to use my traditional 5" yellow BP with my PC, I constantly found the edge of the BP digging into the back of the pads which ultimately caused them to bow at the edges of the pad.

    The foamed BP does theortecially dampen the action of whatever machine you use but whatever that may be is likely to be negligible, as proven by the results of many users.

    lol..dinner was delicious :thumb:

    Sorry for the delay of the review, I'm doing it right now the video turned out nice too :thumb:..well I think so..but I'm a tad biased :giggle:

    :nod: the small backing plate is really neat but as to the size of pads, I would have to say between 2.5 to 3inch size pads is what's recommended for these backing plates. This backing plate will work extremely well on pillars or tight areas like under the license plate or in the entire trunk area..well just my :2cents: though.
