I mainly use Kamba but I find there's a few weeds that it doesn't get rid of but generally it takes care of about 95% of turf-weeds around here. It's great for clover, bindii and dandelion and safe to use on couch and buffalo. I'm still looking for something that will control wintergrass and paspalum though.

There's a lot of options though.

It sounds a bit basic, but Bin-die works way better with the watering can method - especially if the ground is dry. Dunno why - but it does.
Follow the application rate per square metres especially on buffalo. If there is clover, give the clover an application first before doing the entire lawn (so the clover gets a double dose)
For your customer, the bindis will seem to be getting worse as they die and the seed balls dry out. It means you've sprayed the bindies a bit late.
For Illawarra NSW I spray late September and mid December. This hits the spring growth and the late stragglers. Do this 3 years in a row and you'll have eliminated 95% of the bindies.
Best way to completely rid bindies from the lawn is to make the lawn healthy. Light fertilise spring and autumn, keep at least 2 inches of depth in the grass. Once the bindies are gone mulch mow every so often.
Best way to grow a mighty crop of bindies is to mulch mow nice and short every 2 weeks year round - like a lot of grassies do.
"Can't" is a dirty 4 letter word.
If someone says "Can't" , take the "T" off the end and brew it.
Sip on a mugfull, relax, and take a look at what you've got left to work with.
I've noticed bin-die by chemspray is now being sold as Amgrow Chemspray. They also have one for control of weeds in buffalo and one for control of weeds in couch. So far so good with the bin-die for buffalo and other lawns but haven't tried bin-die for couch yet!
BTW the new chemspray for buffalo has exactly the same ingredients as the old chemspray. But not sure about the chemspray for couch

From reading through here and some other info I figured clover can be tough to get rid of. When I quote I include a second spray if necessary.

I find that Feed-n-weed or weed-n-feed works pretty well on clover, dandelions, lambs tongue etc. Make sure you get a good day and really hose the sh!t on. I did a lawn the other day with it and I sprayed each area twice and got a pretty good result.
Let's go SPRAY some grass.
I use Kambah for kikuyu and couch lawns, Bromicide for buffalo lawns.

Sprayed a couple of lawns early last week using Chemspray Multiweed,checked them on friday and it looks to have done it's job pretty well. These lawns are due for a cut on Wednesday,is it to soon to hit them with some lawn builder after cutting?
