How do you VLM practitioners avoid distorting the texture of cut pile? Not only "tip blooming", but causing clumps or knots that are difficult or impossible to brush out? I was told by one distributer to use Gladiator pads, and another told me to use glider/ smooth micro pads. But I manage to distort with both, even with the old plastic disks in the middle of the pads. I think I'm using enough solution to lube the carpet. The old TuWay pads don't distort, but aren't very effective.
I almost always HWE cut-pile, but would like to also VLM, when practical.
Much obliged.
