Overall your results look great! It looks like there may be one or two faint remains of a stain, but it could be a shadow. Looks like you did a very good job on a very messed up carpet. 
I think you're strategy of using HydrOx makes sense. That's normally a good choice on Berber, because Berber can sometimes wick and discolor. Encap-HydrOx works very well in that scenario. One thing to remember with HydrOx is that the "natural" reaction of the hydrogen peroxide requires additional time to react. It performs best when it's given some additional dwell time. Pre-scrub with a FiberPlus Max pad (using Encap-HydrOx), followed by bonnet cleaning using MicroBeast2 bonnets will normally work well on an Olefin Berber like you have there. Encap-Punch would also a good choice for a Berber that may be holding oily soil (such as from dogs). And pre-treating the spots with Encap-Spot, and scrubbing them with a bonnet, can help with the spots.
Many years ago I attended a very informative IICRC class on Berber by Bob Whitkamp. We did nothing but discuss Berber all day long. We covered everything related to Berber from A-Z. And here's the essence of what was considered in 3 words... Dry Dry Dry! Berber tends to wick, so you really need to get it to dry fast. Speed drying a Berber, and cleaning with Low Moisture, can go a long way to success!
Keep up the good work Joey!
