 Hi Albert,
 I have been using the cimex system for a number of years now and can only sing it praises, potentialy you have  high earning capabilities in your hands.
Pads and brushes can often be found on e bay, i only recently bought a set of 3 poly brushes , new for under £20 delivered. encap solutions, well herin lies another can of worms, a few are on the market i have tried them all, cimex encap itself is good but imo over priced, rotobrite11  i find does a decent job, but lacks foaming abilities, just recently tried the new surround products from J.Kelly at restormate and was immpressed but did lack a little on the foaming qualities, however a good product and a touch of fibre shampoo in the solution seemed to give it the foaming that i do like. I believe the best on the market from what i can gather from the usa boards is realesit , not available here yet, but their may be news on that front wait and see , a product i cant wait to try.
working with the machine is a doddle, work all day with out any fatigue just remember pre vaccing is important as is post vaccing, post vaccing itself is normaly carried out the next day. I have yet to go back to carry out this task, I always pre warn the custy has to vac the following day, normaly by in house cleaner. this has never been an issue with the custy, some might say on here i am not carrying out my procedure correctly, I say boll*cks , the custy dont mind ;D
 another point I have discovered is to flush through with some clean water if the machine is going to be idle for a while other wise the crystalisation of the solution can and does tend to block the outlets.
hope this is some help. on my hols now for a week so any questions will have to wait, but i,m sure 1 or 2 others on here use the cimex to good effect.
good luck.
geoff.
ps be interesting to know how much you paid off flea bay
who ever said dont knock before u try ,i never tried dog crap but i know i wouldnt like  haha
