You only need a rotary with a scrub brush, then either a wet pick up vac or a hard floor wand to suck up the slurry.
I don't think you can effectively run a spinner via a 160psi pump, but I stand to be corrected.

All i use is a 175rpm rotary and a triple vac wet vac...thats all you need. dont use a higher rpm machine unless you want to re-decorate customers walls.

Best buy a dual speed machine. This will give you the ability to scrub/shampoo/bonnet clean then switch up to high speed to buff/polish.
Spinner tools will only work if you have a few hundred psi.
A scrub wand will be good for giving a good rinse but won't clean at such a low pressure.
You could use a small pressure washer to boost your psi and use the vacs on the steempro if you want to use a spinner with the steempro.
Auto dump is defo required though after a while.
