Good luck, Patrick. The next step, imo, is to build a website and start optimizing it.
Let us know how you like the equipment.

Well done Patrick, an awesome decision and a great industry. I remember starting out and being so nervous on my first few. You will pick it up quickly and the gents here on the board are always willing to help get you past any challenges, you just have to ask.
Cheers

Ok. One simple question. Do I use damp pads or dry? Or a damp one first then a dry one?

Hi Patrick,
Bonnets and cotton pads work best when they're damp. Dunk 'em and then wring them out. Toss them onto the carpet that's been sprayed with the likes of Encap-Punh, and then clean the carpet. Change/flip the bonnet/pad before it gets loaded with soil. It can be rinsed out and reused on the job, especially the MicroBeast bonnets. Or you can put a fresh damp bonnet/pad onto the machine and continue.

Congratulations Patrick, I hope you do well in your exciting new venture.
Remember on thing mate:
Some say that there is no such thing as a stupid question /
In reality, there is, & that is the question that is never asked.
So if you have a question, as dumb as it may seem to you, just ask.
I bet that there are many others out there that would like to know the answer to many questions, but fear of ridicule holds them back.
I don't mind being called stupid, I always ask my wife, (Mrs Googledownunder), she knows all.
Also she never logs onto the forums.
