White Foam - the Visual Indicator the Tire is Clean and Time to Move onto the Next Tire

Just to make sure I'm understanding you,

You are machine scrubbing tires using a 5" rotary brush on a rotary polisher?

No sir. We used a 5" White Scrub brush on a drill. At the time we didn't own a cordless rotary.

I getcha...

First, I don't ever think I've said machine scrubbing using any tool is faster, what I say is it takes all the physical work out of the process.

I also think it does a much better job, but this is in the context for the way I do it and that's with a 5" rotary brush on a cordless rotary polisher, so you don't get shocked.

I've been shocked machine scrubbing tires back BEFORE the cordless rotary polisher or any of the cordless tools were invented.

Here's the first video I ever made on machine scrubbing tires from Oct 25, 2013 using a Porter Cable 7424XP on a set of 40" Toyo Tires on my 1987 Silverado

That method wored, but just like all free spinning, random orbital polishers suffer from pad stalling, these tools also suffer from brush stalling.

Once the cordless rotary was introduced in the year 2017 by FLEX, I've never looked back.

Here's a video I made, but I did not write the title. LOL

I think I found the reason for your question.

In the below video, I show how to use a Harbor Freight Drill Brush to machine scrub the tires on a Jeep. In the video, you NEVER see white foam after scrubbing. And if we're honest, we don't see black or brown colored foam in the video.

Here's the answer, I have ZERO idea why a brush attached to a drill does not create foam it just doesn't. The tire is still getting clean, it's just for some reason, when using a brush on a drill, you never create any foam of any color with our foaming tire cleaner, which is not on the market yet.

Also, I've tried using a DRILL to machine scrub tires and I absolutely hate it. It's awkward to hold and control especially compared to using a rotary polisher.

The cordless rotar ylike I show in the above video has a LONG tool body. This enables you to grip the tool at the extreme ends of the tool. This gives YOU leverage over the tool and this simply makes it easy to machine scrub anything. With a drill? In my opinion it sucks and I rarely use the word suck when I type, but it's the most accurate way to describe the experience.

Here's the video,

And I also did not title this "shorts" video but the reason it's titled the way it is - is because it's an attention getter and in this day and age of short reals and short shorts videos - Social Media platforms are training up generatios of people with short attention spans.

Here's yet another way I prefer a rotary brush on a rotary polisher. This is from one of our classes.

Here's a picture showing machine scrubbing non-skin inside a large center console boat from one of my boat detailing classes.

Will a drill work to machine scrub stuff? Yes.

Me, never use them. They don't work near as good as a rotary and I already own a cordless rotary polisher.
