I have one of those dont like how it flows and dont want to screw it up
I does take some getting used to. I am still practicing with mine. My results are getting better, but still not where I want them to be. Don't give up on it, though. I've seen some people get great results with it.

Got around to cleaning the 3 quarts of oil out of my new carpet today. It hit the 50s here in Pgh so I wasn’t going to miss the op. Over the last two weeks I’ve been using rags and oil dry to get out the bulk of it. Today I first hit the worst area with Purple Power and a power washer and scrub brush. The 2nd cleaning I did with dishsoap. Now it’s hanging in my 70 degree garage on ropes drying out. I figure if anything is still in the carpet, then I’ll use alcohol and/ or brake parts cleaner. All because I didn’t know anybetter and used the 1/8 nylon tubing that came with my oil pressure gauge and broke in the car.

Sounds like you got it if a pressure washer was involved. Send it!

I'll stand by tide laundry detergent and a medium set pressure washer for carpet till I die. Makes it smell nice too. Half of the dank musty smell in my car was from the carpet. Carpet has to be out of course.

Busted my azz getting the dash cleaned really really really good!!!! Then hit it with bulldog, and then several coats of SEM textured coating on all the repair areas (there were 9 total). Super happy with it, up next is to determine when to paint it.
