Once you get the system down, there is no going back. And once you get that area done in under an hour and figure the math out on how much you made per hour your gonna be loving life. Don't forget to put some DS in a trigger bottle, mix 1/4 DS and fill with water. That will be great for those nasty spots. Just a light mist though, don't go soaking it.

Remember to have my number handy in case you run into any problems on the job and I'll be glad to walk you through.

Steve,

You probably do not need to prespray. Most commercial jobs do just fine without presparying. Rick was saying to use the 50/50 mixture as a spot remover if you need it on a spot.

Good luck to you,

Kevin Pearson

Yes Steve, like Kevin said. The 50/50 solution is just for a spotter on the bad spots. If you are planning on prespray and agitate with you CRB and no powder, use the DS instead of the Punch for prespray. However, if you are going to be using the powder system or you plan on using an extractor as well, then go ahead and use the Punch.
