Hell No! I am so particular about how my car is washed. I seldom dry it with towels, chamois (sp?). I use a leaf blower I bought for just that reason. It is a pain in the ass and when it's cooler out it's harder to get the water off, you do have to supplement with a towel but not for the whole car. Mostly just the roof. But it will help keep those swirl marks to a minimum!

I always let the dealer wash my car. It seems to me that I always get a better wash from the Acura dealer, and it is free! When I bought the car, it already had some scratches, so I am sure that if I bought it new I would be much more careful!

I wish the Dealer would listen when I say No to the wash!!!
Nope, I don't like the Dealer or anyone else washing my car. Unfortunately, even after declining the free wash they end up doing it!
