Anyone ever let the dealer wash their car when it's in for service?

Default They did it once w/out asking and it turned out fine. But, I told them to never do it again....
I just don't trust Audi dealerships to wash my car when they don't even know how to fix things on the cars they sell.

Default They was mine everytime
They have a person washing then cars, they do not take it thru a carwash. It comes out good, so i let them keep doing it.

Default I let them rinse the car, but never wash it on rare occasions.
The funny thing is that everytime I get it back they always say how nice it ends up looking.

Damn straight!

Rinse? What would that accomplish? (confused)

Default Anyone use this type of pliable rubber spatula that removes water in 1 fell swoop?...
... curious as to your opinions.

Default i tell them not to, yet they do.
Think I may print out a big "DO NOT WASH" and tape it to the dash next time....

Default It's been done twice now and both times it came back f-ed up. I have a black car too.
The first time was at delivery, car came back swirled to hell. My mistake, I didn't know any better. Got it fixed and brought it in for service (different dealer). I told them NOT to wash the car but they did anyway. Swirled to hell a second time. I swear they use steel wool to dry the f-ing car. I'm still working out getting the second set out. My advice, don't let them wash the car.
