Anybody know the difference? Is it just the 3rd bottle that you apply afterward? I've never stuck around long enough to apply the CCS or whatever it is.
Stain Magic and Stain Magic for wool.

Hey Kevin,
The CSS(Color Stabilizing and Souring agent) should be applied first before using your mixed two part solution.
Stain Magic has IPA, isopropyl alcohol in the part b solution, where the stain magic for wool does not.

as Hoody said they are not the same. You cannot just us CSS and regular stain magic on wool. Bad things can and most likely will happen.

Hoody, why do you say to apply the css first? The directions say to put on last.

It only says to mix the product first - carefully read the directions. It would pointless to try and stabilize the colors/dyes AFTER you've altered them with a strong oxidizer. Make sure you also flush/rinse the area well afterward, citric acid(the CSS) tends to leave a sticky residue even if it is an acid you can/will get re-soiling issues.
And yes you are correct about applying it last as well, that is to neutralize the oxidizer after you remove the stain.
Here are the directions
Look at steps 4 and 5)
STAIN MAGIC FOR WOOL
Description:
Stain Magic for WOOL is formulated specifically to remove organic stains such as coffee, tea, wine, urine, plant stains, etc from natural fibers such as wool and cotton.
Natural fibers are easily damaged. Be sure to test your procedure in an inconspicuous spot for suitability before use.
Usage:
1. In a clean beaker mix equal parts solution “A” & “B”.
2. Thoroughly hot water extraction rinse stained area with clear water.
3. Blot area dry with clean white towel.
4. Since the colors used to dye wool are often very easily damaged, apply “Pro’s Choice CSS” using an eye dropper to just the colored fibers you wish to protect.
5. Using an eyedropper apply Stain Magic for wool solution to stained fibers only.
6. Observe the stain and allow up to 15 minutes dwell time for stain to fade away.
7. As soon as stain has sufficiently faded proceed to step 12. If stain HAS NOT faded sufficiently within 15 minutes proceed to step 8.
8. Cover stain with a damp lightweight terry towel folded in half.
9. Apply steam heat from steam iron set at lowest steam setting.
10. Allow ONLY 3 seconds dwell time before you remove heat and check stain. If stain has not faded sufficiently reapply heat for another 3 seconds. It should not be necessary to repeat this process more than 2 times.
11. Thoroughly extraction rinse area.
12. Saturate area to neutralize with a dilute “CSS” solution (3 parts water to 1 part CSS).
13. Extraction rinse area.

The residue is horrible.
A powder reducing agent is a much better solution for coffee, urine and tea on wool.
