A visit to the beach is highly anticipated and looked forward to by all ages. The sun and the sand have an amazingly positive effect on people of all ages. The waves sure know how to weave magic. And finally, drive on the sands is a cherry on the top. 

While enjoying a car drive over the sandy beaches one should not have to bother about the cleaning process of the vehicle after the trip is over. It is imperative that most of the sand if not all, should be cleaned from the car. Cleaning a beach-driven car is important to avoid rusting of the vehicle. Here is a complete guide to help you to clean the car.

  • START FROM THE BOTTOM.

A beach is a place full of sand and salty water. When paying a visit to the beach one is almost every time bewitched by the idea of driving on the beach to splash through the salty waters. Salty water and sand spell the death knell for the metallic body of a vehicle. The cleaning of the vehicle should therefore start with the underneath. A high-pressure water jet is much needed to clean all the mess down there. 
 

  • CLEAN THE CAR MATS.

Car mats are a sure casualty after visiting the beach. No matter how much you clean up on the beach, somehow sand is going to find its way and be on the car mats. Cleaning the car mats thoroughly is absolutely essential. Leaving any one thing unclean or full of sand will eventually spread the sand to other places especially back home.

  • CAR WASH AT THE BEACH ITSELF.

If you are lucky enough to have a car washing facility available near the beach itself, it is perfect to go ahead with washing the car there only to wash as much sand away from home as possible. Washing a car near the beach has the added advantage of being taken care of by professional car washers who know all the nooks and crannies where the sand can hide. Baystar express car wash and Happy’s hand car wash near the Mermaid beach are some of the car washing facilities available.

  • CLEAN THE BOOT OF THE CAR.

Wherever we go for a trip the boot of the car is always full of stuff that is used at various places. Whether food, clothes, or mats to sit on all sorts of things are stored in the boot of the car. During a beach visit it will eventually gather a lot of sand and dirt, hence the need for cleaning it properly arises. Take out all the stuff and vacuum the boot thoroughly around every corner.

  • TAKE CARE OF THE WINDSHIELDS AND THE WINDOWS.

The driver should have absolutely clear visibility so as to avoid mishaps while driving. Sand can be very dangerous if it accumulates on the windshield, for the movement of wipers whenever there is a need, can make the windshield all hazy and affect the visibility of the driver. Never forget cleaning the windshield. Use appropriate tools for clearing all sand from the windshield.

  • DO NOT IGNORE THE HOOD.

The insides of the hood should not be ignored either. Sometimes the sand grains that are too small can seep into the critical parts of the engine or any other circuit there creating a blockage. Otherwise, too it is advisable to completely clean every part of the vehicle to avoid any unpredictable hassles.

Never ignore cleaning the car after a pleasant, enjoyable trip at the beach. Everything wears out eventually but salty water and sand grains can accelerate the process furthermore if not taken care of in time. Following certain rules like opening a few doors of the car at the beach or not opening the windows at the beach completely can greatly reduce the sand buildup in the car.
