tried out some of the new flex prespary with citra solv today. I used it on a nasty olifin glue down in a manufacturing facility. As you can imagine this is one of the most difficult carpets to get looking good because of the oil, wear, dirt and the very nature of olefin carpet. often times alot of the more dirtier areas come out looking so poor that I feel bad about leaving it that way. today I have to say those troubled areas I didn't feel bad about how they came out using this new stuff. does it work total magic, no but I can say it works quite a bit better than anything else I have ever used including the olefin preconditioners and prochem renovate that I normally used in the past. a couple things to note, you don't really see a paint the carpet effect with it, it kinda seems to do its thing slowly so that the best way to judge how it works is to clean the area stand back and look at how much better it looks as a whole. the product also I think works the best with a lot of heat. my machine isn't the hottest out there but I really saw a difference when my machine was putting out the most heat. If you have an olefin that is dirty and spotted but not totally destroyed this stuff makes it look like new. I have never seen a powder that dissolves this well, this stuff mixes with water better than liquids I use. over the years I have tried alot of stuff especially presprays this is the first product that has left me this impressed and sure I will always use it from now on when the situation calls for it. oh one last thought I am wondering how this stuff would do on a trashed polyester, maybe that will be its next test, but judging its performance on oil it should kick ass on that too.
