I returned to the job for a look this morning as I had a feeling it may not look as good when dry. Sure enough, there are numerous streaky areas where it appears insufficient solution was being spread, although I used about the quantity I expected. The lighter coloured areas are what I believe are cleaned areas, whereas the darker areas are insufficiently cleaned.
Until I get the tank to dispense evenly, I was thinking of going back to the job using my manual pump up sprayer (which I don't normally have any problems with) and encapping again. Will this even out the streaks?
I took a photo with my phone camera, so it's not that flash, but good enough to get the idea. Will upload if necessary and when I work out how to.

Cammo,
Just a thought.
I haven't seen the job but it could be encap residue which I have seen left behind on jobs that I have done, especially darker carpets it shows up more. It may be occurring in the areas you put more solution down. This is obviously designed to be vacuumed away as it is the encapsulated dirt crystals.
Maybe your 100% correct as you are on the job but If I were you I would try to vacuum it first before you reclean to see if that is your issue because if it is you will only end up with more white areas than you started with if you clean again with more solution
Hopefully that's what it is because that is a far easier fix.
Good luck with it.
Cheers
Jamie
