They are two completely different products. Shampoo is for shampooing rugs, with a shampoo machine. The Gold is a prespray 8 ph that is probably designed as a pretreatment for wall to wall wool rugs. It will work on fine rugs but you need to test for dye bleed first.

Both can be used in a rotary machine. Both need to be rinsed. The Gold product is more aggressive and probably has more surfactants. (wetting agents)
I think that shampoo doesn't need rinse. In factories in the United States, does the most common product look like shampoo or The Gold?

Sergio,
Do a search for encap (or encrap) and you'll see that there's no magic disappearance of soil and shampoo residue. The encap is just a shampoo with fluorochemical in it so the formerly sticky shampoo residue you're leaving in the rug doesn't attract more soil.

Or test it yourself. Apply the "crustalizing" shampoo to a rug, let it dry, and see how much crustalized detergent you can find after 24 hours.

The question you have to answers is: do you want to clean rugs (defined as removing soil) or shove the soils down and leave a crust of light-reflecting shampoo on top? If 'bury and topcoat' is the plan, please don't tell people you're cleaning their rugs.

Ok, now it's clearer
