POLISHER SERVICE KIT REPL. BACKING PAD (01) FOR POL04

Features

• Genuine Tork Craft replacement backing pad for the POL04 polisher.
• 150mm nominal pad diameter for common polishing and finishing pads.
• Hook and loop (Velcro-style) face for quick pad changes.
• 5/16-24UNF hub thread compatible with POL04 and similar polishers.
• Firm but compliant construction to help absorb vibration and follow curves.
• Balanced design to support smooth running at typical polishing speeds.

Benefits

• Restores a flat, true backing surface when the original pad is worn or damaged.
• Improves comfort by reducing vibration and wobble from an out-of-shape pad.
• Makes pad changes quick and easy between cutting, polishing and finishing stages.
• Helps prolong the life of hook and loop polishing pads with a fresh, clean backing face.
• Supports better, more consistent results on modern clear coats and sensitive finishes.

Extra Information

Backing pads live a tough life – they see heat, compound, pad changes and accidental knocks against mirrors, trims and badges. Once the pad is out of round, the hook and loop is peeling or the thread is damaged, the machine will never feel quite right. Swapping to a genuine POL04-SK17 backing pad is often one of the simplest upgrades you can make to improve the way the polisher behaves on the panel.

This pad is sized around 150mm, which strikes a good balance between coverage and control. It is ideally matched to 150mm foam or microfibre pads for general correction and finishing work on bonnets, doors, roofs and bakkies, while still being manageable on tighter areas with some care and pad choice.

Pro Tip

Pro Tip: Keep a dedicated backing pad for cutting and another for finishing – this helps keep the hook and loop face clean and reduces the chance of coarse compound contaminating your soft finishing pads. Always spin the pad by hand before switching on to confirm it is centred properly and check that the hook and loop faces are free from dried compound and debris.

Safety

• Disconnect the polisher from the mains before fitting or removing the backing pad.
• Ensure the backing pad is fully seated on the spindle and tightened securely before use.
• Do not use a cracked, badly worn or out-of-shape backing pad – replace it immediately.
• Always stay within the maximum safe speed of both the backing pad and the polishing pad (see packaging or machine manual).
• Wear suitable eye and hearing protection and follow standard workshop safety practices when polishing.
