If that's the case, you haven't clayed your paint like you should have done to start with BEFORE washing it. You can stick a glass dish with baked on meatloaf in a sink with water and soap and it will loosen all of that baked on meatloaf. Your car's surface is NOT going to get remotely as hot as that glass dish in an oven so the foam gun should loosen up ALL the dirt on your paint's surface.

The only reason the dirt would be stubborn is if you don't wash your car but once a month and you allow dirt just to sit on it day after day in the blazing hot sun. At that point, you are your own worse enemy. Again, that is provided that you are not dealing with something that needed to be clayed in the first place. Sounds to me like you are NOT using a foam gun. I can easily see that being the problem here, which is why I question your proper 2-bucket wash process.
