Thanks to everybody that replied! I know there's probably plenty of people wondering how it works and nobody posts pictures, so here I am to help whoever has same questions and doesn't want to test everything lol.
I did several testing using HWE and Cimex combined and Cimex alone, using different spray methods. Note that HWE I use a Michaels 150 2 vacuums, attached to a Rotovac Powerwand.

Last 5 pictures: Show the dirt before I started.
Picture 1 and 2: Shows the full area I tested after it was cleaned.
*Note that I divided my tests into 3 almost same size squared areas. Up until the end of the beige wall on the left (used Releaseit 1:16 as prespray everywhere, then Cimex)., up until the first blue wall on the left that comes out (used regular prespray plus Cimex), and the rest till the back wall (used my regular prespray (attack plus citrus), Cimex and then HWE right away)
Picture 3 and 4: You can see results of the second and third area zoomed in.
As it shows, I am impressed by the results as it took down some stains that I thought were not going to come out. I did not test against hot water extraction alone so I have no comparison for that. Also, I did not post vacuum.
Conclusions: Releasit as prespray and then Cimex seemed to have worked best (even though it was fairly cleaner than the other areas so I'm not sure if this holds true). Hot water extraction with the Rotovac seemed highly ineffective (perhaps due to the Rotovac heads that left the carpet looking uneven).
Next, I'll be trying HWE, leaving it overnight and then Cimex.
Many questions:
1. Using more Releaseit, let's say 1:16 on the Cimex, would it help or make it worse, or same thing just waste of chemicals?
2. If I do Cimex, do I wait until it dries up and then HWE, or right away?
3. When prespraying Releasit, do I need to wait until it dries up or a few minutes is fine to Cimex it?
4. I'll be doing some luxury condos hallways tomorrow, any tips to make it better?
5. What's the range of charge people usually charge per square feet? just to have an idea, I know it changes per area, I just always charge per job and I'm being asked per Square feet.
6. If the stains almost desappeared but you can still see them, should I wait for it to fully dry, then try going with the Cimex again? and if so, should I vacuum in between the first and second attempt?
Thanks again! Sorry for the long post!
