I created a short vid to showcase the DF service for my website :

Great video, Russ!
And not what you'd call a 'maintenance' clean either, fair play.
Does this mean we can expect to see a Jag 6.6 in the for sale section soon? :P

that was an interesting video for 2 reason,
the carpet looked clean after just scrubbing..... although no soil had been removed... i couldn't see a difference from when it had been scrubbed to after it had been bonneted
secondly it dispelled the myth that bonnet cleaning is faster than HWE..... this carpet required multiple passes with both the scrub brush and the bonnet to get it looking clean. bonneting might be quicker if you can get away with a single pass of the bonnet but this shows that is not always enough
but this is just my thoughts as a carpet cleaner .... to show to customers It was an excellent video

I have never found the Dry Fusion system to be any faster than HWE when done the way advised. It does however give the results on a par with it. I have always viewed it as a deeper cleaning bonnet system.
This was the main reason we gave our system up.
It just didnt have the productivity of the purpose built bonnet machines/system that we were already using for routine maintenance work.
I only ever used it on one domestic job.
It took as long as a traditional hwe/protector job and I was personally very happy with the results.

I would never normally use DF for this type of job as the carpet was so heavily soiled. It was really a worst case scenario to show that it could do an acceptable job.
I took on the DF system because it offered good results with a built in stain / soil protection which is perfect for hotels and offices.
Thanks for the positive vibes

Excellent video Russ! 8)

Russ, love the video and the results, very good. Can I ask where you obtained the brush, is it the proper DF one or did you get a cheaper one somewhere? I know the DF ones are expensive. Thinking of getting a brush for my DF set up but don't want to pay that much.

Like the video russ..
Will be a great marketing tool on your web site..Getting one done myself for my df set up..
-
An RX20 on a TM would have done that it one pass instead of the multiple passes the DF system took, which I think demonstrates the DF system is out of it's depth in those circumstances - but it got there in the end - ish. ;D
Most of us have multiple systems to, TM, RX, Portable & LM, few would go for LM in that situation for obvious reasons.

Like i said before... i normally use HWE on this job and the Dry Fusion was used simply for the purposes of making a demonstration video to prove that it can obtain acceptable results compared to the more traditional methods.
My setup includes the DF brush which is featured in the video to work in the "restore" pre spray before i bonneted.
I will agree the brushes are expensive, but IF you are faced with a carpet like the one featured and for whatever reason HWE is not an option its an essential bit of kit.
