Near deal breakers when buying a used car. Front plate mounted on bumper. Auto car washes or dealer washes. A scratch fest. If a dealer washed my car after being told not to I'd force them to pay for full paint correction.

I've always had dark gray or black cars, last 2 were Maseratis, the paint was fairly soft so I'd never let them wash them. It's just too easy to grind in some swirl marks or worse with just one washing. I've always been pretty obsessive about washing it myself: 2 bucket method with grit guards, 1 mitt for top of car, another for the bottom, water de-ionizer and blow the water off when done. But after years of therapy, I can finally let others wash my car without needing to take Valium . BUT, my F-Type is white, and has a clear bra on the front end, rockers etc Swirls are much less noticeable on white and if they start to show up, I can get them out with my DA buffer.
I've also found a very good local hand washer that I go to if I don't feel like washing it myself.

 

My car's paint is ruined after having the dealer wash it, they used a broom brush "one" bucket method. I made a sign PLEASE DO NOT WASH, albeit too late...

 

Not all dealerships are created equal, unfortunately.

 

the place tat details my car and did PPF and Ceramic coat provided a "Do Not Wash" sign to hang on the mirror when car is in for service.

 

Not only do I not use car washes of any type, I do not allow anyone other than me to wash my car; and I use only Griot's car wash and liberal tears. Liberal tears because they are composed of only the most pure and gentle melted snowflakes.

 

So is that the continued right wing plan? To make fun of a different point of view even when it's not even part of the conversation. You're so cute.

 

I think he/she was trying to inject a bit of humor into the conversation.
