When we're in OC, we almost always go to Huntington Beach. Yeah, I know itll be a little cold, but we're from Colorado and we grew up in the NW part of the state where it gets really cold! Thanks for the advice folks! Those were tricks that are probably common sense to you, but for land locked not so much!

You're gonna get sand in your stang regardless ... its the beach - its happens. I say go to the beach, enjoy yourself, then go to the car wash

You got a point...I should quit worrying about it and just go have a good time.

Any places in Anaheim near convention center/disneyland who does a good interior detail? After all, its vacation so why not let someone else clean it!

I don't have a recommendation for you but there are car washes on every other corner in OC and the entire L.A. basin. People in SoCal love to keep their cars nice and shiny, it is the car capital of the world.

I would be willing to bet your roads are much better than ours espcially after a hard winter.

We dont seem to get too much sand in our cars when we go to the beach. Just take an extra towel and brush all the sand you can off then shake the towel out well before getting in

I take a bottle of water with and place a bucket in the trunk for the wet stuff. Don't forget the ocean spray on your vehicle...
