i had a cimex when it was owned by cimex had problems with controlling
the water flow so was prone to overwetting like most other shampoo grvity fed machines.

in the market myself for a low moisture system Alan from swindon reccomends
the thermodry from Craftex which is a bit cheaper

some how not sure i can justify the extra money for a heated plate set underneath a Dowding and plummer Rotary??

Thats (victor) of Birmingham

sold my dry fusion as was focusing mostly on domestic at the time where if felt it was limited and the stairs you had to do with a hand mit or terry towels

Filtration stains round edges was an issue too

but for commercial wish i still had it..

but wondering could i achieve the same with a Haevy duty Rotary over 55Kg in weight .

Nicks cleaner looked very promising to me..

Hi Karl
Not sure how you can have problems controlling a Cimex.
I assume you are talking about the 3 headed Cimex?
They are the most user friendly rotary I have ever used, you can let go of the handles and it hardly moves off its spot.

As for overwetting - solution is only released from its tank when YOU pull the trigger. Overwetting has to be an operator error.

I have a Dry Fusion setup (bought second hand), but I only normally use it for commercial jobs.  For domestic jobs I always HWE, but having said that, I did a low profile poly today with the DF and it came up great.

Hi Derek,  Yes, I'm doing a bit more leather work now, mainly down to referrals I receive from LTT.  As yet hav'nt done a full sofa restoration, but have down several minor repairs.  Recently had to repair some cushions off a £5K white sofa (from Harrods), there were at least 50 cat scratches on each cushion !!  - customer was well pleased with the result.  Got a couple of referrals on the go which may result in a full restoration.   
What do you charge for a full colour restoration, per seat??

Good to see that you are doing well and expanding.

cheers,
Pete
