RUPES 981.710 6" Backing Plate – HLR21 / LHR21 Mark V
The RUPES 981.710 6-Inch Backing Plate is a revolutionary next-generation design engineered specifically for the RUPES iBrid HLR21 and LHR21 Mark V polishers. Developed to elevate polishing performance, this advanced backing plate enhances balance, stability, and surface protection for professional-grade results.
Designed without polyurethane, the 981.710 backing plate features a lower center of gravity, significantly improving machine stability and operator control. The result is smoother handling, more precise paint correction, and reduced vibration during extended polishing sessions.
