Default Suck or Blow?

Hey fellow Jeepers.
I thought Id pick your brains a little on a cleanup issue.
Now that Im at the beach everyday, sand ghets blowin in everywhere.
Id like to keep my Jk at least a little tidy, and was wondering what the rest of you do to rid yours of excess sand.

Vote in the poll, and leave any tips or suggestions you may have in the thread.
Thanks so much.

C'mon Crash, you should be able to handle both by getting blown while sucking.

Shop vac for carpet/seats. Just got a blower attachment to the powerplant for the dash cause I was tired of all of the dust turning into mud with the armorall wipes.

Gotta figure a mix of both would be the most efficient way to go.

I have always used a backpack Echo blower to get the initial stuff out and then shop vac he rest. Works well except you have to remember to remove all loose items before you start.

I was eager to see what this thread was about, especially when I saw Crash started it. I usually shop vac, but it's hard to get it all out!! I think it would be easy to blow out the cargo area, but I'm wondering how it would do in the floor boards. Seems like you wouldn't be able to blow it out through the doors.
