Makita Backing Plate

Okay, so I've quit working as a dealer detailer, my conscience wouldnt allow it any further, I've used my last paycheck to get a business liscence, Karcher electric pressure washer, and a Makita 9227C. The question i have for all ya'll experts is this.

What size is the stock Makita Backing plate? I want to pick up the Menzerna Starter kit with the Intensive and Micro polishes from detailersdomain, plus a few pads (probably two to start, one Medium and one finishing, but i need to know what size the backing plate is so i can get the right size pad, i know the pads the makita comes with are 7 inches, but they wrap around the edges of the backing plate, so idk what size it is.

Thanks for all the responses guys! wish me luck! i already have 2 paint corrections scheduled for next month, so I'm kinda nervous!!

 

I wish you all the luck in the world...:thumb:

The backing plate doesn't have a measurement on it but it measures 6.5 inches across...I hope this helps...:thumb:

 

6.5" since they fit my pads perfectly (literally to the edge of the foam btw)

 

Best of luck to you :thumb: Wish you all the best.

Look forward on seeing some details from you eace:

 

Good luck with the business and when you have enough funds, purchase the 3M BP.

 

or if u dont want to spend $60 on a BP, i heard the gloss-it one is great. thats the one i am going to pick up for half the price
