Polisher attachment for carpets?

Is there any bristled attachment for a 7" polisher (or even a drill for that matter) to really scrub the interior carpets on our Maximas?

OMG! IMO, doing it in a circular motion would just tear the carpets up. Just get a plastic bristled brush and scrub them hard with carpet cleaner. That's how we do it at my job.

I use a 4" bristle brush on my Porter Cable random orbit machine. I suppose you could use it on a rotary at a very low speed

I sure as hell wouldn't try a ROTARY method on carpets, but that's just me. If it works for others then yay!

I'll change my previous post. Maybe a rotary at a very low speed and very light pressure. Otherwise you'll look like Steve Martin in The Jerk when he's polishing that car......
