And also don't forget to take your coil cover off to get the sand and the salt water out and wash it also. ::g

I always remove the coil cover wash the cover and coil, wipe the cable and stem with a damp cloth.

I spray bumper shine on the coil, cover, stem, cable, its a silicone and i find it gives some protection from mud sticking to it.
