Hey how's everyone doing? I'm new here and not a carpet cleaning professional. Instead I do automotive and some residential leather repair & re-dye and carpet and seat stain removal. The spots and stains have just been a try-to-figure-it-on-my-own kind of way. I'm looking to increase my knowledge on this board. In the last several months I've been searching better ways to tackle stuff I run into which a detail department probably couldn't get out.

Here's what I bought the other day at Jondon's to go with some of the spotters I already have and Little Green Machine:

Matrix Enzyme Pre-spray

Pro's Choice Red One

Chemspec Liqua Gel

Prochem Browning and coffee stain remover

Hydramaster Last Step Rinse

Kleenrite Dry Spotter vs

Kleenrite Dissolve Citrus Booster and spotter

Prochem Solv Ink

Does this list look good for automotive stuff? The only lingering questions I still have are: At Jondon's I was all set to get some Blitz for extra dirty auto carpets. Then I mentioned that sometimes there is food involved, and the guy sold me on the Enzyme Pre-spray instead. So the question is: Will that handle all the other stuff too like Blitz would? or should I still get Blitz or something comparable? Also once in awhile I run into icky stuff like crayons or glue or paint (though that is usually good and dry by the time I get to it). Besides Liqua Gel and the Dry Spotter, should I also have a POG on hand? Thanks in advance for your responses.

Liqua gel is good. I would also keep on hand citrapure, from magicwandcompany.com.

I dont deal with autos, because it kills my body, but citrapure is amazing stuff.

Welcome Jay.. Looks like a decent batch of chems for CCing.. HM Blitz is some good stuff.. pH is on the high side.. It cleaned nasties as well as EnzAll did when i used it.. You will be fine with the Blitz.. It cost more..

Have you tried the Matrix yet? Was thinking of ordering some from JonDon..

Hey thanks for posting. It was getting a little lonely LOL

Anyway John, I've only tried the enzyme product by Matrix on one auto carpet and spotted with it once on another job. I'm not experienced with pre-sprays, so don't have a lot to compare by. It worked overall, but a couple areas were pretty stubborn. I boosted with the citrus, but still couldn't them clean. Could've been the cheap equipment I have to extract. Following some threads on this and another site, I think I could also use some oxygen, and still wondering if an enzyme pre-spray is good on other grease and grime besides protein stuff.

You can boost that enzyme prespray with a citus degreaser it there's alot of grease like in Chinese joints.. Post pics of your equiptment on "Pics of your rig/tools" thread..
