If you drive on wet beach sand you may have a problem. Tires pick up the sand and deposit it underneath the car. It contains lots of salt. After having driven on a beach take your car to a local do-it-yourself car wash. Most of these near the beach include an under-car drive through area. This sprays high pressure fresh water under the car to wash away most deposited salty sand. I once lived in the U. S. Virgin Islands where cars would rust away before your very eyes. The cause - salty ocean spray carried in the breeze, deposited on your car by dew. Cars that were garaged suffered much less.
