I bought the meguiars hyper wash tonight online, seen a few god video reviews of it on youtube, ps..Robin, still use the good old elbow grease, rinse car , snow foam, clean with sponge, rinse, then meguiars gold glass, hand wash the whole car then sense and chamois dry....gleaming every time !

then poor boys polish with the poor boys wax on top for a good sealant

There's your problem right there.

Don't rinse the car before you snow foam.

No need- your snow foam is doing the rinsing and if the car is wet when the foam goes on it will not cling.

If really dirty I sometimes rinse the worst off before snow foam but it still clings fine for 5 mins.
More important to rinse AFTER snow foam before any hand wash.

That was my problem for a long time. I would do a quick blast first before applying the foam but it makes a huge difference if you don't.

Can't say I've had any problems with getting snow to stay on the car. It's getting rid of it that's the problem.
