I like a modified approach to encapping UPH. I prespray the really soiled parts of the piece--corners, piping, seat and head area, armrests-and leave the rest.
I agitate the sprayed areas with the buffer -7" Tuway type pad usually-but the stripped hand mitts Rick sells work darned well if you just want to use elbow grease.
Champagne Cimex pads (7") work well for buffing too.
Gotta be careful not to prespray too much if buffing-the buffer will sling excess moisture all over windows, coffee tables, etc.
Then extract with a small portable (I use Durrmaid 1600) with encap rinse.
This provides encap rinising and some measure of fabric protection to the whole piece, not just what was presprayed.
The piece is finish in one set, without excess product remaining in the UPH fabric.
