I also ride in a dusty, sandy area, living along a dirt road. Chain care is important. The only chain lubes I've used that don't become an abrasive paste are the kind that leave a dry, non-sticky coating. Dupont Chain Saver works well for me. When I clean the chain, WD-40 does a good job as does kerosene. Try not to overdo the chain lubes. Most important is keeping the O ring seals grit free and just enough lube to protect from corrosion.
In using a car wash, wash down the bike with the wand on the mist setting. Spray Honda Brite cleaner on tires, body, engine. Use a soft brush to get the worst grime loosened then rinse again using the soft mist setting on the wand. Towel the bike off and take a ride to dry any remaining moisture.
