I had a stain that wicked out of no where after doing a hot water extraction on a glued down
commercial carpet, after several failed attempts of re-cleaning with HWE I tried the Releasit spotter and bam...problem solved. My question is... if I clean this carpet again next year with HWE what are the chances that stain will come back up?

You're not alone with this type of issue. Commercial Carpet cleaners have been Befuddled with that issue for years!
I think there is good chance you could see that same stain reappear after HWE again. Olefin CGD just loves to wick back when you throw too much moisture at it. There is just no air flow to get under and dry out all that moisture trapped in that tight glue down carpet.
Not to worry though...your situation is what has built the Encapsulation /VLM industry. If you have to HWE it again just plan on getting fans on it to dry ASAP and do a post Releasit Encap to take care of that spot.

What about doing the extraction using an encapsulating rinse. Punch?

The second step is important. You want to encapsulate the sugar residue. Keep in mind that when a soft drink lands on the carpet, the spill soaks to the floor level. Then as the moisture evaporates, the soda syrup residue remains at the backing of the carpet. So capturing the sugar build-up with a strong mixture of Releait's encap polymer is the key to effectively eliminate the potential for a recurring spill stain.
