Wash or Not Wash your car after service.

How many of you out there have good or bad experience(s) with your Dealer washing your car after servicing it?

My standard instructions when I take my car in for service at my local dealer(s) is NOT to wash the car because they always do a crappy damp mop job and do more harm than good. I would rather they pass the savings by not washing the car to reduce the cost of the maintenance.

don't even let the dealer wash your car!! messed up my paint the first week i got it. Have soooo many swirls that it looks like spider webs in the sunlight. I'd say wash it yourself. I'm just hoping my BlackFire polish will help hide the swirls
