Today I had to pull the 2 speed Betco 17" off the van, blew the dust off, to do a job as all other equipment was on other jobs. I had a nasty 3 b/r ranch (800 square feet) for one of my investors. I know how you all like to do trashed polyester. I used a 19" white polishing pad and a red pad that I had on the van. I used Releasit DS mixed at 6 ounces per gallon of very hot water. Not only did it clean well, it was very fast (vacant home) I did all the cleaning on 320 rpm. This was a 1 hour and 15 minute job(including vacuuming and post grooming with the Grandi Groom You might say I was "smokin" $199.00) I said all that to say; I might have to use this system more often. BTW I used the red pad on all the traffic lanes.

everyone knows ya can't git a carpet clean using a bonnet, and the carpet mfg's say it voids the warrentee!!!

LOL Danny, that's why I used a buff pad. And when I am on a trashed poly, I could care less what the mfg. says or thinks.

That advice against using pads came from the same manufacturer who also sold polyester and told people it was great carpet.

I've been using this method second only to the Cimex. Rick's Fiber Plus & Max pads work well. I would'nt use red pads because they tend to bleed. One thing I don't get. How do you clean AND post pad 800 s/f. The carpet couldn't possibly be dry, can it?
