    Can I clean carpets and seats without and extractor?

    I do have a PC DA. Which brush would you recommend? I also have a DeWalt 849 rotary. I haven't seen a brush for this. If they say a drill will just mess up the carpet wouldn't a rotary do even more damage since it is WAY more powerful than a drill. I've seen the RidGid vacs a lot on...

    Can I clean carpets and seats without and extractor?

    Right now I just have my metro vac/blower since I haven't been doing the carpets. I guess I am going to have to invest and get a shop vac that is decent....cheaper than an extractor I guess. I think I am going to try the pre treat method first and see how that works out.......thanks zilla!

    Can I clean carpets and seats without and extractor?

    DeWalt 849 in the hands of a novice...help!

    Yep I already bought the 6.5 in pads. I didn't mean to I just wasn't paying attention. I heard that they would creat too much heat and with the 6.5 in pad it would need a new heavier counter weight. So I am just going to buy the backing plate to fit and the 6 in counter weight. I guess I can...

    Ok...I already have 2 MF bonnets so I should be good there. I just figured out that my DA I bought comes with a 5 in backing plate and 5.5 in pads. When I bought my extra pads I got 6.5 in pads. So now I need to get a 6 in backing plate. Man being new to thins might cost me more than I...

    DeWalt 849 in the hands of a novice...help!

    I went ahead and bought the Porter Cable 7424XP with a few of every color pad just to be safe. I planned on starting with the white pad to be safe and see if it can work out the blemishes and then step it up one notch at a time till I get the job done and then work my way down. I think it will...

    I recently purchased a DeWalt 849 as a package deal with 7.5" foam waffle pads. I went to detail king and purchased everything from heavy cutting products to to final finishing products.
