I just cleaned the carpets/upholstery in my Van today using the 6:1 Woolite method. Needless to say it did a fantastic job of cleaning and removing stains. I used the Bissell green machine to extract the excess water. The green machine did a good job but it still left the...

Just tried out Pinnacle Body Shampoo today. The smell is great, left a glossy shine but it left waterspots, especially noticable on my windows. Has anyone else had this problem? I used the BMW brand (Sonax) the last few weeks and didn't have this problem.
