Precision Fit
The right plate for the Nano
The 995.001/C is the genuine Rupes backing pad engineered to spec for the iBrid Nano. At 30mm across, it puts your polishing pad exactly where it needs to be on tight quarter-panels, around badges and in the curves that a standard backing plate simply cannot reach.
Why It Matters
Built for the iBrid Nano
Four reasons the OEM plate outperforms a generic alternative.
-
Genuine OEM Part
Part 995.001/C is manufactured to Rupes factory spec, not an aftermarket approximation.
-
30mm Precision Footprint
Compact 30mm diameter puts correction exactly where you need it on intricate panel sections.
-
Balanced Rotation
OEM tolerances keep the plate true at all iBrid Nano speed settings, reducing vibration.
-
Secure Pad Grip
Hook-and-loop interface holds nano pads firmly so they don't spin off mid-correction.
OEM vs Generic
Genuine Rupes vs a generic backing pad
Generic backing pads are cheaper up front, but small tolerances matter on a precision machine like the iBrid Nano. Here is how the 995.001/C stacks up.
| Feature | DetailerSA | Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Guaranteed iBrid Nano compatibility | Yes | No |
| OEM-balanced for vibration-free operation | Yes | No |
| Hook-and-loop pad attachment | Yes | Yes |
| Works with standard 30mm nano pads | Yes | Yes |
| Manufacturer part number for exact reordering | Yes | No |
OEM Tolerances
Balanced, consistent, reliable
A backing plate built to Rupes OEM tolerances means no wobble, no uneven pad contact and no premature wear on your foam or wool pads. For a machine as precise as the iBrid Nano, the plate underneath the pad matters as much as the pad itself.

Questions
Frequently asked
Which polisher is this backing pad compatible with?
The 995.001/C is designed exclusively for the Rupes Bigfoot iBrid Nano polisher. It is not interchangeable with other Rupes machines such as the LHR15 or LHR21.
What size is the backing pad?
The pad measures 30mm in diameter, equivalent to approximately 1.2 inches. This small footprint is what makes the iBrid Nano system so effective on tight and intricate areas.
What foam or wool pads fit this backing plate?
Use Rupes nano-diameter pads that are rated for the iBrid Nano system. Always match the pad size to the backing plate size for proper coverage and even pressure distribution.
How do I attach and remove pads from this backing plate?
The 995.001/C uses a hook-and-loop (Velcro-style) interface. Press the foam or wool pad firmly onto the plate before starting, and peel it off cleanly after use. Avoid pulling at an angle to protect the hooks.
When should I replace my iBrid Nano backing pad?
Replace the backing pad when the hook surface no longer grips pads securely, when the plate shows visible warping, or when you notice vibration that was not present before. A worn plate affects correction consistency.
Can I use this backing pad on paint, glass, or plastic trim?
The backing pad itself is surface-agnostic - it simply mounts the polishing pad. Surface compatibility depends on the foam or wool pad and compound or polish you pair it with. Always choose the appropriate pad and product for the surface you are working on.
Can I run this pad at high speed settings on the iBrid Nano?
Yes, it is designed to handle the full speed range of the iBrid Nano. Being an OEM Rupes component, it is balanced and rated for all operating modes of the machine.
Is this backing pad sold as a single unit?
Yes, the 995.001/C is sold as a single backing pad. If you run multiple iBrid Nano machines or want a spare, simply add the quantity you need to your cart.
