In September 2004, I first tried out my Cimex, courtesy of Rick Gelinas, at Connections, held in the Riviera Casino in Las Vegas.
The photo with Rick was taken at another Connections event.
After I returned to Australia, I purchased my first Cimex from Gary Bethel of Carpet Cleaners Warehouse in Cooroy, Queensland.
He delivered it personally to me, a distance of about 970 miles.
I was sold on it from the very first job.
I made some minor adjustments, such as installing BIG Pneumatic Wheels, shortening the electrical lead, & putting a face-plate on the front with my web site that also has two trigger sprayer holders at the rear.
I also use it when cleaning the majority of my upholstery. (Shock, horror.)The VLM system, NOT the Cimex.
Thanks to the Late Gary Heacock who showed me how.
I remember all of the
that I copped from the various forums back then, before Facebook started.
I get a laugh now when I see how many died in the nylon carpet cleaners now use some form of VLM.
Many still knock the system.
I DON'T CARE.
My clients love the results that I can give them, that's all that matters to me.
