For many of us, headed to the beach in the summer means enjoying the sunshine, taking a swim and lots more. But, we all get left sandy after the fact, and that leaves our vehicles with sand inside and on the outside. Here's what you can do to avoid it and get an easier clean afterward.

If you live near the beach or ocean, frequent waxing can help protect it from salty air. You can also apply sealant or get a quality paint film which we can discuss with you. On the inside, get all-weather floor mats, use a straw or mesh bag for beach wears as the sand falls right out, bringing less into the car. Also simply shaking off towels and other items, as well as vehicle washing and rinsing goes a long way too for a clean car before and after the beach.
