What pad are you using on the rotary Neil?

Nice result by the way :)  I've used Shockwave a few times but not yet with a Rotary as I've only just got one and I'm waiting for the pads and brushes to be delivered.

RR, now go and siton the NCCA naughty step ;D

Nice result and shows the type of results that can be achieved with bonnetting. However i think i would have extracted that one if piping to it was possible. ;)

Is that filmed on an Iphone?

Next time hold the phone sideways then you get the full wide screen and not a cropped video

That carpet had not been cleaned, you have just pushed the dirt further into the carpet, it's actually in a worse condition than before you started, not only has it had no dirt removed but had a nice cocktail of chemicals added.

But it looks clean and that's what the customer wants.

Just been reading this thread through again, how the hell did you forget your HWE machine its the biggest bit of kit most of us have in our vans, i've forgotten the odd thing but only very small items.  Maybe a visit to SPECSAVERS is in order ;D

 Warren :I dont need it so why remember it

Your right mike thats how you do your Nurserys and play areas

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gisXa05pa0M&feature=channel&list=UL   ;D

And dont come back with your encapsulation & safe chemical crap ( and your repeat work is so good u dont need to advertise lol)

get off your pulpit

you stole the before and after competition of us with a water mark that took u 5 mins to remove with a bit of acid rinse

put them up side by side  and have a  free vote off if you dare

Is it a good idea to leave something as strong as Shockwave in a carpet like that?

Niel about my video you are wrong, about the competition I AGREE WITH YOU!!! if you look at my photo on my home page you will see i already have a chemspec spotting kit,  my photo was visually  impressive but not technically that hard, i posted it on a whim i did'nt think i had a chance of winning

give em a call or send me an email and you can have the spotting kit, I'll send it to you ( no kidding)

Mike   you have been reading how to win friends and influlence people

BECOME A FRIENDLIER PERSON
1. Don’t criticize, condemn or complain.
2. Give honest, sincere appreciation.
3. Arouse in the other person an eager want.
4. Become genuinely interested in other people.
5. Smile.
6. Remember that a person’s name is to that person the sweetest and most important
sound in any language.
7. Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves.
8. Talk in terms of the other person’s interests.
9. Make the other person feel important – and do it sincerely.
WIN PEOPLE TO YOUR WAY OF THINKING
10. The only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it.
11. Show respect for the other person’s opinion. Never say, “you’re wrong.”
12. If you are wrong, admit it quickly and emphatically.
13. Begin in a friendly way.
14. Get the other person saying, “yes, yes” immediately.
15. Let the other person do a great deal of the talking.
16. Let the other person feel that the idea is his or hers.
17. Try honestly to see things from the other person’s point of view.
18. Be sympathetic with the other person’s ideas and desires.
19. Appeal to the nobler motives.
20. Dramatize your ideas.
21. Throw down a challenge

I think Mike was being honest not critical.

Amazing result, but cant help think to myself where does the dirt go? guess its down..

If your charging cheap who cares, customer got want they want.

Does it last? will the dirt creep back up? if so how long till the dirt reappears?

I am new to encapslatation I will give it ago on a commercial one day, if they want cheap that is.

Regardless of how much the customer is paying, don't they deserve the best job possible? After all they may not know that you haven't done your best simply because the price is cheap :o
