Hi, could anyone give me any ideas on a good machine for bonnet cleaning, i have little experience on this side of things having mostyly used HWE, any replies would be most welcome.

Hi russ
I do a good amount of bonnet cleaning on my commercials and use a victor rotary use it in conjuction with prochem bonnet buff and does a top job and most of the jobs are for good companys so i would not do substandard cleaning for them :)
Have used dry fusion and texatherm and would also say they are great set ups.

Why did you sell your dry fusion kit? was it bought from new or second hand ?

Hi bob
Got it 2nd hand as the guy who set dry fusion up in the uk trained me up in c cleaning many years ago sold it to my a bit cheaper but only about a few months old :)

Sory didnt answer all the question lol
Sold it as i thought it was geting too expensive with the activator etc and then bought texatherm system an thought i would give that a go :)
They were all similar and the only thing i didnt like with the texatherm was the wringing out of the pads in clients houses as i didnt feel professional doing that if they were watching ::)

Ive been thinking about these systems for commercial jobs. I want somthing with that USP ie dry in 30mins , adds the protector all in one go ect. Still not sure about the price of some of them though. How much was the activator etc for the DF.

I used the dry fusion system about 8 or 9 years ago and used to buy it in 25 litre drums i think and it was a hundred pounds or so just found i used a lot and then went onto texatherm but with that system you have to buy a couple of chemicals to mix.
I use prochem bonnet buff which has a soil repellant in it and does a great job i find also use it on domestics too.
Think if i was going to get another set up i would go for the dry fusion myself :)
I do most of my commercial work in the day and always get the carpet dryed in 30 mins and the only noise is from the vac ::)

I do like Tex and Dry machines very nice balance, but what I have found the Victor can get under desks further.
There is a bloke in Chelmsford who sells second-hand Victors and they look like new (he delivered one to me last week) if you want his nbr drop me a line.

Your right on that one :)
You can have it parallel to the floor to get under even those beds that are high and also to drop the friction when your doing a flotex type that has too much resistance :)

Personally I like both Victor & Numatic. the victor is good to carry on the van for scrubbing dirty carpets proir to extraction, but when it comes to padding I prefer the numatic because its got the extra weight to penertate the carpet!
I had thought of buying weights from Douding & Plumer for the victor to beaf it up so I could get the best of both out of the victor machine.
