Anyone say "no thanks" to the dealer wash?

Agree, I had them do this the first time just so I could see if they do a good job. Nope, more dirt on the car from when I took it in (washed it 5 days before). Will never ever let them do it again, for a company like Infiniti, you'd think they would have better service, and not be so damn cheap.

What about the wash before initial delivery? I am expecting my Lakeshore 6MT any week now, and I have been kicking around the idea of telling the dealer not to wash/wax/etc when they prep the car.
I have already purchased clay and the Klasse twins and planned to give her a nice bath when I finally get her home.
Any thoughts?

The only problem i see is;
Depending on how dirty it is, you may have a difficult time inspecting the car.

You have to take the car in clean. I mean spotless .
That way they get the sense that you respect your car. Then they will too.
They'll get in and think "whoa, this guy is **** - I better be careful". Also, they know then that you pay attention to your car and know your car and they will be more careful cos if they f' it up you'll tag em for it.
Too many people take their car in dirty thinking that the mechanics will get it dirty anyway. Then the shop thinks "He treats his car like dirt so why don't we do the same". It's not a conscious thought mind you, but it's there.
By taking it in immaculate you are showing them what your expectations are.
I sent it in perfect...I want it back the same way.

My dealer does a really good job of washing the car. However, I'm never given the option of washing/not washing. They always do it without asking.
However, it's probably pretty hard to make Brilliant Silver look bad. Swirls, etc. don't show up near as much.
I'd probably be extremely **** too, if I had black (which is what I wanted!).
