Padding Res can be the "very best" in enough situations to warranty mastering the method and keeping the materials on board to have the option
A section 8 specialist wouldn't understand that you dont need to wash the whole car in order to get a dead fly off the windshield.

Yea I padded for over a decade. Different machines, pads, solutions. I was ridiculed (mostly by Larry) for it too.
Buttt now, it's new and it works. Damn it! I should have hung in there and been a pad king.

I started with shampoo, made money, most jobs looked ok. I got very good at it. 1971
A janitorial supply salesman showed up at a drugstore we had driven 100 miles to clean. He was trying to take the job away from us with his new bonnet concept, but the store mgr liked us and had us each demo.
I beat him but saw the potential. 1972ish
Got home and bought a driver, some bonnets and chems from that salesman's competitor. It was a good addition to our toolbox, but not the magic bullet.

Back in the day we started out as shampoo guys. Had to vacuum really well, used a pile lifter and tank vacuum to get the edges. Hild scrubbers then Chemstractor. Later pad driver on the Hilds. We used for decades, even once converted to steam cleaners. Great precondition for heavily soiled carpets.

Our house had new harvest gold carpet and I always experimented on our house, first baby crawling around, couldn't make it "pop" with shampoo or bonnets so in frustration I slung a 5 gallon bucket of hot water down the hallway and sucked it up with my Hild water vacuum.
Eye opening, but soured by the time it dried. There's my sign, but I didn't get it right yet. 1973

We grew up in a new subdivision as kids. Lots of dirt/clay, no grass four boys dragging it onto olive green sculptured carpet. My father brought home the Host machine from the Drycleaners where he was manager until it quit working. Searching for a solution he picked up a used 175.
The rest, as they say is Rock n Roll history.

When clients ask for "that fast drying thing" again I'll listen to them and not some close minded goobz who thinks a tablespoon of coffee needs to be pressure washed out of a clean carpet.

Yea but that third time is usually when you take them for granted and fook up.

Thatz what we always listened to. If they were happy and they were the ones paying the bill, it was far more important than some morons on a BB board.

Makes sense. I do a mix as well. Post covid some wanted HWE only in the common areas. Most of my senior invoices are not going to attract attention. The only two invoices I should have split up were atypical.

About time. John rocked his world something serious down in Atlanta when they cleaned head to head at the hotel.
I actually figured that would be enough to convince him then...and you.

Swirl it, twirl it, blend it in, spread it all around even.
It all irritates Larry when we call it cleaning.

I sucked up over a hundred gallons of water
yesterday and didn’t even touch the amount. I wish we could figure a way to put a diaper over it
