I`ve done a little bit of google work and so far I have come up with the following:
Brushes for a Cyclo
Brushes for a PC
I have a PC and a Makita 9227 Orbital Polisher. I personally think that the direct orbital polisher would have more RPM to clean better than the PC D/A polisher. Does anyone make a carpet/apolstry brush for the makita? I have a hook and loom backing pad already on it.
Thanks,
Randy

I don`t think anyone makes one
IMO it would kill carpet in no time
but if you want just get the 4" velcro for the PC
and a small BP for your Makita and there you have it

I have set of brushes for my DA. I does just fine on most stains. I am not sure I would want to use high revs on carpet. If you start pulling fibers out or melting the carpet, It will be a PITA and $$$$ to replace.

The brushes for the PC are the same ones for the Cyclo. They have the same thread and everything. ;)
I`d be VERY cautious about using a brush on a high speed machine. The PC does a great job at cleaning with a brush and I think if you used a faster machine you could easily rip apart carpet and upholstery with it.

Also, I dunno just how well the uni-directional action of the rotary would be for this compared to the ~random action of a PC/Cyclo :think:
People *do* use big rotary-action machines when shampooing carpets, but those aren`t necessarily doing the same thing (functionally speaking) that a rotary *polisher* would do :think: :nixweiss

I was planning on buying a brush for my rotary this spring to try it out.
The only place I`ve found brushes that would work on my rotary are the ones on Chemicalguys website.
BRUSHES FOR D/A AND ROTARY BUFFERS (http://www.chemicalguys.com/BRUSHES_FOR_D_A_AND_ROTARY_BUFFERS_s/86.htm)
I was planning on the long brush because of how aggressive a rotary can be.

Even if you could use a carpet brush on a rotary (twice the size of a PC), it would be hard to maneuver in foot wells of a vehicle.

We have one on a rotary. I don`t know who makes it, but it is made of wood and has black bristles. It just screws onto the rotary head. It works very very well.
