That is as unfathomable to me as all this talk about driving on snow and ice. Does the sand make it's way inside the car too? When we get equipment back from the Middle East, we're always amazed at where the sand can find its way.

I hope it doesn't affect the paint job like it did the Rolls Royce in Gumball Rally

Just covers the car in a layer of sand/dust, goes right off after a good wash.

No, it never gets inside the car unless you have your doors or windows open, but it only happens around twice a year. We are sand free here in Lebanon hehe. If you live somewhere in the gulf areas, now that's different.
