I used the same approach in an EOT job about a year ago (but with Powerburst rather than Shockwave).

I went to look at it a couple of days ago and it looked terrible. Like a really bad home V-x or r-g D----r job.

In fairness, like in Neil's case, it was the only thing that would shift the soiling but this was a real eye opener seeing the long term result.

I'm disappointed in you Neil. I thought you were a man who knew his own mind, even though he was wrong.  ;D

It's not expensive, you just can't afford it.

Neil,
Why LM at all, judging by your video you have a really good system and you personally  seem to have the right attitude as you are prepared to go the extra mile to produce a great result, so why only some of the time? I wouldn't LM a carpet unless there was no other alternative, although I've got the kit in the back of my van, what I also have in my van is the means to do a fantastic job and give people a level of quality they have never seen before, so where are they going to go next time????

We have 2 vans and plenty of kit , and we have started to take each job on its own merits lm affords us and customers what they want and a lot dont want to wait 5 to 7 hours for it to dry , im listning to what they want you are telling them what they need .

Lm is a good system and they are happy with it and the more i use it the better I think it is

Dark as in still dirty  ;D ;D ;D
I won't use LM because in the same van as the LM gear is one of the most powerful tm's on the planet, so why not use it and do the best job possible, albeit at a slightly higher cost.

Aw, Neil, you've disappointed me now, I thought I'd won you over to doing a proper job as a matter of routine, oh well, you're halfway there ;D ;D :'(
