I wash the house with hose water and a spray nozzle. That seems to get the salt and dirt running down the walls pretty well.
I go over the glass the same way (some mornings there is a salty condensation on them, and even after a rain there can be salt residue). A very thorough pattern including inside the tracks all around, and multiple overlapping passes on the glass.
That is weekly +/-.
About once a month, after rinsing as above, I use a squeegee with a mop end and apply a bucket of RainX on them, then squeegee. That really helps keep them clean and lets the weekly rinses take care of the minor stuff so we can enjoy the view.
I clean the tracks and door frames outside with Dawn, and a soft brush. That is just a couple of times a year. It is due for that now, but I’m going to try some rust remover first to get at those stains.
Sounds worse than it is, but beachside living does come with extra maintenance.
