There have been a number of occasions where I repeatedly said "no wash" and even taped a note to the steering wheel saying "no wash" and every time, they I see them pulling the car to the wash bay at which point I sprint out and say no wash. They all look at me like a crazy person but I don't care, if you listened and payed attention to my request and note ON THE FREAKING STEERING WHEEL, this wouldn't happen.

Man I hear ya loud and clear! Let's hope my local dealer doesn't followmthis trend that you've got going on!

I would won't to know first also.....

On that subject there are a great group of guys on this site. cool and all seem to know what your talking about. and for sure love your Z.

And don't take this the wrong way cause i'm with you. But when it comes to the
paint and the detailing of your cars we get very paranoid. Does it seem that way to others.

Perhaps a little paranoid, but the paint on the Z is notoriously soft.

It chips easily and without a doubt will swirl quite nicely in no time if proactive measurements aren't taken. I just know that if I wash the car myself and it gets swirls...its my own fault!

Don't worry, this is mainly at the Lexus dealer when I take my parents cars in for service. I have no real experience with Nissan dealers other than OC Nissan Irvine where I bought it and they followed my instructions to skip dealer prep. Thumbs up to them from me on that!
