Pressure washer. Make sure to get all the places sand gets stuck in i.e. fender wells, bumpers, heck everywhere ;D
 
That's the deal - I am from Los Angeles, CA. Actually - Hollywood. I bought a 2002 Z71 for ?$26,000 and I love it. It's like my second girlfriend - Best truck in the world.
I clean it everyday - So it is realy shiny from inside and outside. All my friend know me as crazy about the AV and will never take it off road. This coming sat I am planing to drive to Pizmo Beach which is endless dunes and the beach. It involves driving in the salt water. I will take my two ATVs with me too. My question is - after I had fun... how can I clean it the best so it will even be cleaner than before...and does running in the dunes(salt) can destroy my AV parts under the truck ? Will it run less good(smooth) after ?

Tomer, I run the dunes a lot up here in New England...

Unfortunately, you're asking the wrong person when it comes to cleaning a truck. :) ? After my bi-weekly duning adventures, I only wash it if I have the time, and if it's actually that dirty enough.

I don't run in any salt water, but I'm guessing it would probably be a good idea to hit the undercariage with a powerwasher fairly soon after you're done. ?I can't help but wonder if a few salt water trips are as bad as as salt-filled winter in the snow-belt though. (I don't clean the Av at all in the winter) ?:rolleyes:

I'm VERY jealous that you guys get to run off road bikes out there. ?Over this way, you venture off the trail and you stand the chance of being shot. (by eco nuts, not park rangers!) ?It's what we got though, so you have to respect it.
