You can still see it on the truck. If that makes sense. I'm fearful that it will grind into the clearcoat. That's true, I am thinking after it rains, I'm going to just wash it normally and possibly clay bar it.

This is where a foam gun would help - between that and a top quality wash soap, you should have plenty of lube to minimize scratches.

the foam gun would definitely be nice. Plus you can soak the entire vehicle in soap, let it sit for a little bit to do it work and then hose it off. Like a presoak and rinse. Then use the gun to soap it up again and use a mitt.

This is just a guess in the dark but since you are in AL, you may have a lot of tree sap on your surface thus creating a nice trap for that sand...

Trying to figure out why sand is sticking to your paint so that is the only thing I could think of looking at all those trees in your pictures and being in the So.
