Str8. Autopia is a great resource. As ZaneO stated, spend a month or so doing a lot of research. You'll need a PC 7424, maybe a rotary buffer too. Good vac (Metro, Ridgid, etc), carpet extractor (research extractors for an idea of the several out there), a good steam cleaner (I use the Daimer- steamers are indispensable IMO), and chemicals, hoses, extension cords, storage bins, microfiber towels, etc.
