Do you let the dealer wash your car?

[nike001]

..if you take it to the dealer, that is. Since working and washing cars at BMW, I've only encountered a handful of people that said to not wash their cars. I can see them not wanting us to hand-wash their cars since dealers are known for doing more damage than good. Whenever I did anything wash-wise at work, I only used the degreaser and wheel brightener and hosed off. I never touched it with a mit.

We just got a new car wash about a week ago that we just started using. Apparently its one of the automatic car washes that BMW has even approved for washing cars. I took a brand new x6 though it last Thursday, and a newer 135i through it today and I felt nervous (though I did take mine through it to test it)

Every now and then I allow the dealer to wash my car. I know the guys who work there and they always do a great job on my car...

Sometimes yes, figuring they'd know how to handle nice cars.

One time the dealer washed my cousins car they broke the side fender marker off and never mentioned anything. The last time they washed mine they hid a in car freshener that was extremely strong. I was looking for it the whole way home since it really made it hard for me to breath.

I know I always did a good job on nice(er) cars there. We usually do good jobs on nice ones.. or ones that show that they're taken care off; like make sure all their rims are clean, degrease, tire shine etc. Then for the neglected ones, we just shove in and out.. or if its a nice 7 or something and looks like it needs a little lovin, I'll help the owner out. It's usually the 328i's that are tossed in/out. They're more or less treated all the same now with the new car wash.

Touchless is just as bad if not worse, I've read. They use harsh chemicals in order to get the dirt off, instead of agitating it with brushes

My car lives at the touch less all winter. I always was worried the car would get stuck in the brush one.... or at least just mine haha

I write NO WASH on the windshield, no wash on my key tag, and leave no wash paper on the dash....

You can make your own assumptions.
