I tried foaming the entire car and then rinsing off, but most of the grime is stuck on good enough that it didn't remove it.

After the wash, dry with big MF towel, then hit any missed/tough spots with QD and/or 3M Adhesive remover with a little MF towel (tough bugs, etc).
Exactly what I do.

Having said that though, I'd rather have a powerwasher than a foam gun if I was given the choice. Got a small electric one from Walmart for like $160. Very handy to have.
