another dealer wash victim

"No Sir, We use clean shammies on all our customers cars when we wash them." Not mine, not on tuesday they didnt. It finally stopped raining here and the sun came out long enough to see the huge swirls and hairline scratches and places where the rag just stopped and didnt finish the rest. So I paid a little visit to the Deathstar this morning. He finally say "what do you want me to do Jason?" usually this is my opportunity, but at last minute I said phuckit. I dont want you touchin my car!! put in my file NO WASH!!

Now I got some serious work to do on my ride again....Thanks John Eagle Acura

It is so tempting to let em wash your car, but I learned the hard way. Dont do it.

don't ever let anyone wash ur car. they can never do as good a job as you. you know ur car better than them and know the TLC it needs
BTW if the dealer even thought about touching my car with one of their dirty ass chaomis or sponges i would go crazy.

I've seen my local Acura and Lexus dealer use a high pressure spray that blasts off dirt (nothing like our weak spray nozzles at home) that also deionizes the water before it hits the car. They don't handwash the vehicle with soap or anything, but simply blast the dirt off with the water. It seems pretty effective in removing the dirt, but they do wipe down the car instead of letting it airdry. I told my local Acura dealership not to wash my car during my last oil change which they didn't but they sprayed that tire dressing crap all over the tires which gets onto the rims, mudguards, and car body. Totally pissed me off because I had to rewash my vehicle to get the oil off.
