I have the speedster, and it does a great job.  Not like a truck mount, but it does give me the versatility to go in and shut the doors behind me.  Residential like that because then they save on the heating/cooling bill.
Thanks for all the tips.  I have the red relief, I just must not be using it correctly.  I just bought an Iron, so I will give that a shot. 
 
What do you use on gum, and black ink?
 
The rotovac 360 is awesome!  I have a few tricks should you decide to get one.

For red stains, I use Red Relief. It is a two bottle process-heat transfer set up that works good on most reds. I use several different presprays including Matrix Grand Slam SC, Prochem Ultrapac TLC. I do a lot of restaurants and the best thing I have found for heavy grease is Chemspec ENZ-ALL. Spray it on nice and hot and it will start breaking up grease on contact.
 
I use a truckmount and have an RX-20, but find myself using my wand more often. The RX-20 can be a little bulky to handle. The 360 looks more compact and movable.
 
What portable do you use?

I have been using Mohawk for Grease, and Citrisolve as a booser on my prespray for high traffic areas.  I have been using red remover on the red so far, and have had limited success.  And yes the rotovac 360 is awesome.  My clients love it.  I only wish I had a truckmount to save time etc.  Residential don't like you taking over the bathroom and look at you funny when you haul all the equipment in.
 
Anyhow, what do you use on stains?

It looks like it will tear through grease. The dirt in the video is getting destroyed fast! What stain remover are you using?

I'm impressed at how fast the machine works in the video. My RX-20 cleans great, but not that fast. The dirt in the video is gone with one quick pass. I would love to demo one in a real world situation.

Yah man, that sound good.  What market are you in?  MY 360 seems to do a fantastic job.  Anyhow, good luck with your new machine, and keep me posted on your success.  I have a few marketing ideas for you, if you would like them.  I have a speedster portable, and it does a good job.  I am pleased with the set up.

Hey celestialcarpet,
Congragulations on the 360 and your entry into the carpet cleaning business. Like you, I have also taken the  leap into the business, and will be receiving my 360 tomorrow (Monday), I can let you know how it goes when I clean with mine, and maybe we can share some info with the folks here on the board.

Which portable or truckmount are you using with it?

Yah but he is out to sell me like 500 bucks worth of stuff.  I am a guy just starting out, and the $ is not that flow, if you follow me.  Maybe I will just tell him, 150 and give me the best you have.  Thanks for the response though.

Do you use a local distributor? If so, he could walk you shelf to shelf and probably set you up really well.

Has anyone else used the 360?  I have been using it for a couple of weeks now.  I am new to the business, but it does a great job.  I am still learning the trade, and hit some stains that are unbelievable, so I am coming for advice. 
 
What products do you recommend for my truck, for stain removal.  I have some red remover, and Debronzer, but I didn't know there were so many products.
 
THANKS GUYS FOR THE HELP!

This machine needs a higher torque motor to it.
