Hi Len

I should have a nice grimey restaurant carpet for you to play with in the next couple of weeks using Dry Fusion system. Will contact you soon.

Derek Walker.

Is that the 'male' thanks or the version used by the 'fairer sex' as highlighted by John in another thread.

I use the phrase 'fairer sex' advisedly...I know which side of my bread is buttered!

When I say thanks its hand on the hip time you get away with murder!

I don’t think your that old and I don’t think you do ether, but if you do wife has a remedy will give too you next time I see you some thing like butterfly and a bee, before anyone jumps nothing to do with birds and bees.

You have to admit words within the cc set innuendos I blame the manufacture not that I’m smutty or any thing, but I would like to take time out and thank Derek Walker in showing me the operation of the DF system. In the near future.

I got the Charley pads but cannot get them to stay on the machine. Nothing wrong with the grippers because the dry fusion pads work perfectly but no luck with the charly pads

[Dynafoam]

Fintan,

Have you got them the right way up ?

The side that looks like carpet goes against the carpet.

Don't forget to give them a good soak before use.

John.

You need to rock the machine backwards an forwards to settle onto the pad before using it, it should not be too dry only lightly ring out before use.

Best regards Nick

Can you use super pads with DF

[Ken Wainwright]

If you remove any element of, or add to, the the Dry Fusion System, you will not be using Dry Fusion. You will be performing, for want of a better description, an expensive bonnet procedure. From what I've seen of the Charly pads, they appear to be quite substantial, so the passage of heat through them would be compromised. If there is any polypropylene in them or other synthetic with a low melting point, then they may melt.

Safe and happy cleaning:)

[Fintan_Coll]

Yes, right way up ,soaked them, rocked the machine , everything but no use.

[Dynafoam]

Fintan,

Is this with astandard gripper disk or the Dry Fusion one?

I do not know the DK machine but the two types of pad are of diferent comstruction, perhaps the grippers are also (?).

John.

[Fintan_Coll]

John, this is with the standard Dry Fusion grippers. I have another standard speed floor machine with a different drive board for gripping hard floor pads, would probably work with the charly pads but I dont want to carry every machine with me on the van all of the time.

[Dynafoam]

Fintan,

I know the feeling! Anyone who has seen inside the back of my van would know exactly what I mean.

I have never had a problem with standard gripper boards, so clearly the DF grippers are incompatable.

The use of the DF with heat would likely damage the Charly pads anyway.

John.

[Ken Wainwright]

I've tried regular cotton pads on my D/F drive board, and they won't grip on either.

You could try contacting Columbus Dixon (sp?) to see if their regular drive plate would be compatible.

Safe and happy cleaning:)

eeeeEEEEEEOOOOOOWWWWWwwwwww

Hi Guys

Ken you should not use the DF heater when using Supper Pads, far from being expensive the super pads are much more cost effective than standard bonnets,

Fintan, Having spoken to a number of Df users some suggestedthe grippers may be worn on the drive plate and can be replaced with new gripper, I don't know how old your machine is or the agew of the drive plate, the only other factor wouldbe the pads may be to dry however during our conversation earlier I was under the impression they have been well soaked.

Best regards Nick

Hi all Ihave both the dry fusion and the charly pads and i have found that the dry fusion machine will not work with the charly pads so i use the chemstractor machine

[Phil Marlor]

I have tried Bonnett Buffing with different methods including Charly Pads and my conclusions are always the same, Bonnett Buffing is a waste of time.

I feel like I am cheating the customer if I dont use hot water extraction, I always think that Bonnett Buffing is is just moving the dirt around not actually removing it.

Its only my opinion but even when I see DF and Texatherm being demonstrated it looks like an overpriced bonnett buffing machine.
