Default Cleaning 1/8 Buggy (Air compressor)

Well, I drove my RC8Be in the sand I noticed the bearings got really gritty don't know if it was like this over time or if the sand got in them.

I do blow my buggy off for a few minutes every tiny part of it with a air compressor at about 80-110 psi. Could this be pushing dirt into the bearings? I also grease my CVDs. Could the dirt and grease get into the bearings by the air compressor?

I was thinking to blow it off but leave area around the bearings lightly blown and to not blow directly into the bearings but blow it from the sides and lightly so no dirt gets in. Let me hear your brains.

Also, what do you use to keep mud off? WD-40?
