My wife, the little trouble maker, hit the fob's lock button and made it beep, shoulda seen his face.

Hey Picus,
Haha, you took it easy on 'the hugger'.
Like Tom says, if you hit the panic button, it sinks in real fast that you're not happy with their 'attention' to your G.
Plus they have to go home and change their drawers.

Oh man I forgot all about the panic button! She was busy hitting the "lock" button over and over, so it was a little "beep". Next time I'm going panic mode on them!

I've heard of someone else that made a large lamacoid sign
that they fasten to the steering wheel.

Might have heard that from me. I just made up a large, laminated 8.5" x 11" sign (printed sideways "landscape" style) in big, bold Red letters with black outline "DO NOT WASH!", and "NO LAVARSE!". I put it right on my dash, and they don't even have to write it on the work order anymore.

No washes at the dealer for me. Also, I used Mr. Clean Auto Wash. I never touch my car with a towel. Works great!

The glue left all over the car isn't great for it either in the sun! And, how did you get it "directly from the boat" in Florida?

I meant I got it as she got to the US. When I ordered her, she was on the boat. Once the boat came to the US... a truck brought the car. My G never stayed on any dealership for longer than the 5 hours it took me to do the paperwork. As soon as it arrived, I was called in and drove her home.

NO WAY!

I always use Zaino on my car. I think my car looks better than the day I bought it. That is due to the fact that I wash the car by hand, dry, and apply the gloss enhancer spray.

Last time I went to the Infiniti dealership, I had to drive two hours there. I told the guy I did not want the car washed. He replied that it looked like it had just been detailed.
