yesterday did first demo (1600sq/ft)in an upscale apt complex.it was a hall and was sucessful at the cleaning part,removing lots of spills,however;the appearance of the nap was not as good.can anyone tell me when i do my first wet pass and folllow with a dry pass-am i going up a certain amount and then straight back for that dry pass or turning the machine around and then comming back-should this help with a cleaner look?thanks,barry

Barry,

You can do it either way.

We normally run the wet pass in a straight line and then do a U-Turn at the end and run back down the same pass with the dry pass.

However in tight confined areas we do it differently. We push the Cimex forward on the wet pass and pull it straight backward on the dry pass.

As you gain experience with the Cimex it becomes as easy as pie. Tasty pie!

cool, I was gonna ask that too. I do alot of short hallways, it'd be easyer to pull it backwards than to hafta turn it around every time

We are having the ole' family pic taken in a couple of weeks,, yes, you guessed it.. a good bath and the ole' Cimex will be right on the end of the pic with my arm around it. Just like one of the family. Why not? Hell, it provides for what we want. LOL

sorry i missed your call Barry. busy weekend here, my wife's paternal Grandfather died recently and alotta family coming in from outta town.

at any rate, as Rick said feel free to do it either way. i personally just walk backwards with it. it will give you the same results as if you turned around and walked back, just saves the time of turning around

just a guess here, but are you saying you did'nt like the "finish" that the Cimex left? that swirl mark? personally i do not like it as much as other CC'ing "finishes" (like a wand or rake), but i can honestly say that in the 4 months i have been Cimex'ing, EVERY client loves that finished look it leaves....i think they just have bad taste lol . but really, i was concerned with the "finish" left by my Mex, i have changed my thinking on it and i now like it....it pays the bills in a big way and all my clients love it, cant go wrong.

right on Steve, take that pic! i have been planning on doing the same for the last few months but keep forgetting. i know someone else took a pic of himself kneeling next to his Mex and uses that pic in his marketing material (Steve Smith i think.?.)...i think that's brilliant and i am going to do the same....just make sure you do it on clean carpet

thanx fellas --- Derek.

thanks for your advise and time today.your comments on the look from the cimex makes alot of sense to me and will try walking up and back with it///barry
